A short drive down from Katherine, the small town of Mataranka was our next destination. Famous for its hot springs, we found an awesome camp site at Bitter Springs and only a short 5 minute walk down to the springs. The weather at the moment is hot – there is no other way really to…

Three hours drive from Darwin and yet it feels like a million miles from anywhere. Kakadu National Park covers an area of 20,000 square kilometres and Aboriginal people have inhabited this area for more than 65,000 years. The park is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site for both cultural and natural values and after…

Our final week in England was filled with more family time and adventures. Saying goodbye is always hard but we certainly won’t be leaving it six years until the next trip this time! After an early start from Oxford, we arrived at Heathrow in good time and the return flights were largely uneventful. Andy and…

It’s over a month since we last updated the bulefish blog but the travels have certainly continued. After leaving Litchfield, we made our way to Dundee Beach for a few days and then finally onto Darwin. Turning up in Darwin in the middle of the dry season, only days before the Darwin show, the whole…

After spending four months exploring the National Parks in WA, we kick off the NT parks list with Litchfield. Its a 300km drive from Katherine to Litchfield Safari Camp, set in the heart of the National Park. As with most camps, we have discovers that unpowered sites are not only cheaper, they also offer more…

It has been a LONG time since I last visited Katherine, and then it was for work and most certainly not a tourism trip. After two days of driving, covering the 600km distance between Parry’s Creek in WA and Katherine in the NT, we were happy to be out of the car again. Still being…

After leaving the Bungle Bungles, we pushed on north towards Wyndham – the most northern town in WA. School holidays are in full swing and now the borders are all well and truly open, the towns are certainly busy and caravan parks full with travellers from NT and QLD on a quick trip for school…

Time to visit another World Heritage Area – this time the Purnululu National Park, also known as the Bungle Bungles. The National Park covers an area of almost 240,000 hectares, of which the impressive Bungle Bungle Range and its familiar banded sandstone domes occupy a footprint of 45,000 hectares. The National Park is accessed by…

The Gibb River Road is a (mostly) unsealed road that covers the 700km between Derby and Wyndham. Originally constructed as a cattle route between the stations and the ports, the road has also become an iconic road on the Australian lap. Thanks to the unsealed nature of the road, and unforgiving terrain of the Kimberley,…

Broome is a well known tourist hot spot on the far north coast of WA and we totally visited the area in the peak of the dry season. The only real options for camping are the caravan parks and the ones in town or by the beach were either fully booked or just never bothered…
