Old Telegraph Station in Eucla, Western Australia

Right on the border with South Australia, the tiny town of Eucla sits in the middle of nowhere right in the South-Eastern corner of Western Australia. The town basically came into existence due to it's important location on the old telegraph line that ran from Albany to Adelaide in the late 1800's. The telegraph line [...]

Along the Coorong to Eden Valley, South Australia

We had spent our first night in South Australia in the small town of Tantanoola to the west of Mount Gambier, giving us an odd introduction to the state. Today we would have a long drive along the Coorong before heading up into the back of the Adelaide Hills. This part of the state seems [...]

Point Lowly Lighthouse in South Australia

Right near the top of the Spencer Gulf in South Australia, the land is quite barren, with the city of Whyalla receiving around 300 days of sunshine every year. The coastline in the area is very beautiful, and we camped for the night out on Point Lowly with this view from our camping spot. It [...]

History and beauty around Portland in Victoria, Australia

Having just driven the Great Ocean Road, I didn't think that any other piece of coastline would impress me, however the beauty only continued as we headed west through Portland. The small city of Portland was actually the very first settlement to be established in Victoria, Australia, around one year before Melbourne was founded. Located [...]

Photo Essay: The Beauty of the Great Ocean Road, Australia

When we first decided to travel around Australia in a camper van, one of the places that I wanted to see the most was the Great Ocean Road in Victoria. Running 243km from Torquay to Warrnambool on the south coast, the Great Ocean Road is one of Australia's most popular tourist attractions, and for very [...]

The Hall of Memory at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra

Today is ANZAC Day in Australia and New Zealand, a public holiday to mark the anniversary of the terrible and futile Gallipoli Landing during the First World War, where over 11,000 Australian and New Zealand soldiers died, all basically for nothing. The day was created in Australia to honor the 60,000 soldiers who died during [...]

Camping and Bush Walks in the forest at Gembrook, Australia

We left Golden Beach on the south coast of Victoria, Australia, with the intention of only having a short drive to our next camping spot on the Morwell River. The drive took us to the small town of Boolarra where we took the Morwell River Road along the forested valley. When we reached the first [...]

Johanna Beach Sunset on the Great Ocean Road, Australia

The Great Ocean Road in Victoria is one of Australia's most popular tourist destinations, and rightly so. It travels along some of the most breathtaking coastline that I have ever seen. We took two days to drive the road so that we could make lots of stops along the way. We camped for the night [...]

A couple of days relaxing at Golden Beach in Victoria, Australia

It had basically been nonstop driving since we left Queensland. We had seen some amazing places driving through New South Wales and into Victoria, basically stopping at a different place every night, but it was now starting to wear us down. We needed to just stay put somewhere for a couple of days to recuperate, [...]

Following the Great Alpine Road through the Victorian Alps, Australia

Our first day in Victoria, Australia, was eventful. Travelling from the border to Glenrowan, where Ned Kelly made his last stand, we travelled to Greta to pay our respects at the cemetery where he is buried, before making our way to the base of Mount Buffalo where we camped at Nug Nug Reserve. Today would [...]
