The only problem with travelling overseas is that we have to leave our dog, Mindy, behind; and after nearly two months in Asia, we are missing her a lot. Today's photo is of Mindy watching the sunset at Inskip Point in Queensland, Australia, not long before we left for our road trip across Australia. She [...]
The town of Glen Davis in New South Wales, Australia, is now basically a ghost town, having once been an oil shale mining settlement during the Second World War that was soon abandoned. There isn't a lot to see here besides a few abandoned buildings, however the town certainly has a very picturesque setting. I [...]
Our recent road trip across Australia from Brisbane to Perth was amazing. Over about five weeks we travelled from the south of Queensland through New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia and then into Western Australia, camping and sight seeing along the way in our old camper van. Along the way I made lots of live [...]
London Bridge is just one of many amazing sights along the Great Ocean Road in Victoria, Australia. This natural rock formation actually had two arches and was connected to the mainland until it collapsed in 1992. Two people were left stranded on the newly formed island when this happened. I guess they were just lucky [...]
When it comes to travel in Australia, South Australia tends to get left out a lot. Most people are drawn to the Eastern States, the Red Centre and even the rugged North. Places like the Great Barrier Reef, Sydney Harbour, The Great Ocean Road, Uluru and Kakadu are all amazing places, so what does South [...]
We were sad to leave our perfect location at Munglinup Beach, but it was time to move on and we were only heading to another beach called Cosy Corner, so how bad could it be? Continuing our journey west along the south coast of Western Australia, we made our way to the old port city [...]
Is it weird that I actually like visiting cemeteries when I travel? Anyway, in Uralla, Australia, I did just that. We went to the old cemetery in town to see the grave of Captain Thunderbolt, an infamous bush ranger from the area, and what we found were a lot of very old gravestones from the [...]
It seemed as if we had been driving non-stop for weeks. The long drive across the Nullarbor had really tired us out, and now that we were finally in Western Australia, we were dying to find somewhere quiet to relax for a couple of days. From Norseman, we headed south towards the coast. Although I [...]
Driving along the road at 110km per hour, I look out at the view through my windscreen. Around me there is nothing but stunted bushes and dry earth all of the way to the horizon, with not a single tree in sight. Ahead of me the straight road seems to run forever, disappearing into a [...]
As the sun rose over the sea at Point Lowly, we packed up our camper van to hit the road again, heading south-west to continue our exploration of South Australia's Eyre Peninsula. There was hardly a cloud in the sky as we headed into Whyalla, which was no surprise since the town receives three hundred [...]
