On our way back from Cameron Corner, we stayed at Fort Grey Campground in the Sturt National Park. Because we had left Chunky Bum (caravan) in Tibooburra, we had our first “camp out” with Big Ears (Ford Ranger) on this trip. Now, Big Ears is fully set up for off grid camping, including water, …

You really can’t come this far north-west NSW and not go to Cameron Corner. Sure, there’s nothing there but a survey marker, but where else can you stand on the corner of three states? Apparently not at Cameron Corner, because you can’t cross any borders. Not unless you are lawless folk like us. We …
I don’t know what Tibooburra was like pre-covid, but it is a sleepy little town right now. We arrived on a Thursday and were the only travellers in town, so we had our choice of spaces in the Granite Boulder caravan park. We wandered around the town, visited the Information centre but it was …
After nine weeks of lakeside living, we are back on the black and making tracks! I have to say, it was a little sad to be leaving home, er, I mean leaving Lake Pamamaroo, but…we are very excited to be continuing our Australian Walkabout in Big Ears and Chunky Bum. Here’s Peter working hard …

As mentioned in my last post, Macro Photography is my passion. The bees have been more active lately and they always make for good, if challenging, macro subjects. They are tiny, 10 – 12 mm, infuriatingly fast, and most shots seem to be of their bums. A couple of weeks ago, while shooting the …
Sunsets Galore When we first arrived here, we were greeted with a beautiful sunset, and I guess I expected that the next sunset, and the ones after that, would be much the same, barring a cloud or two. How wrong could I have been? I had this great idea to take a series of …
They did let us back into The Hill (that’s what us locals call Broken Hill) for my Pfizer jab, and back out again (re previous post). We even braved the supermarket again to pick up a couple of things, and there was hardly a soul in sight; it was the complete opposite from our …
Ok, I mentioned the birds here at Gundabooka a couple of times, but apart from the Emus, I haven’t shown you any. Well, I spent many, many hours stalking these tiny, little, flighty, annoyingly fast birds who would appear in a flash, only to disappear as soon as I lifted my camera to my …
Gundabooka is a remote park south-west of Bourke, the first National Park on ‘The Darling River Run’. Driving on dirt roads is not always smooth but we enjoyed it. We took our time and enjoyed the scenery, avoided wildlife and missed most of the washouts and rough patches of road, but it was impossible …
