The southern portion of the Eyre Peninsula is home to two amazing national parks – the Coffin Bay NP and the Lincoln NP. Two new places to explore but two very different ways to do so! First stop – Coffin Bay. Only a short drive (less than 1 hour) south of Point Drummond and we…
Friendly faces
After two months on the road, 19 different camp stops and more than 3000km along our journey, we finally caught up with some friendly faces from the Northern Beaches at Point Drummond on the Eyre Peninsula. For a record breaking $5 per night, we found ourselves camped on a very stunning headland overlooking a very…
Heading down the Eyre Peninsula
We have been in SA for almost a month now and covered around 1500km along the SA coastline since we first arrived in Mount Gambier. Having never been to SA before, I didn’t really know what to expect and to be honest, we have been blown away! The coastline is so dramatic and varied, each…
From the beach to the bush
After six weeks on the road, and now more than 2500km from Elanora Heights, time to pack away kite surfing gear and beach tings for a few days and spend a few days in the foothills of the South Flinders Ranges. We booked three nights at Catninga Station, 6km from Stirling North (and still only…
When time just stopped!
We have been on the Yorke Peninsula for the last 8 nights but it kind of feels like the place where time just stopped. Driving down the coastline towards Marion Bay feels like a long time ago. After a couple of rainy days at Marion Bay, we decided we needed to give the Yorke some…
Time to slow things down
We have been on the road for over 5 weeks now and we are now around 2500km into our journey from Elanora Heights (add in all the day trips and car is telling me we have done 4000km). We have been moving at quite a pace and mostly staying 2 nights in places. To give…
Time to recharge
Heading north from Kingston SE, Victor Harbour was set to be our next destination. A Positive Covid case at our planned camp site caused a last minute change of destination and we managed to find a lovely farm just outside of Victor Harbour with a massive paddock we could have all to ourselves. Victor Harbour…
4 weeks on…
Well it is officially four weeks since we left Narrabeen and set off on our journey which has, so far, taken us 1799km (or 1112 miles) from Elanora Heights. We are now on our tenth camp site and our pack down / set up time is defiantly getting shorter! The van is going well so…
The journey to the bottom of S.A
After a few fabulous days in the Grampians, we set off on our drive down to South Australia. The secret through the Grampians was stunning and I can imagine it would be easy to spend plenty of time exploring this area and walking trails. The drive to S.A was relatively short compared with other days…
Old Man Emu
Another change in scenery along our drive from the Murray Valley. The flat roads and farmland changed back into rolling hills as we got further into Victoria towards the Grampians. Found a cool spot for lunch at a random state park. Nice walk to break up the drive and even spotted our first Echidna. After…
