Why you should visit South Australia

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 [...]

The seemingly endless Nullarbor Plain of Australia

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 [...]

Beaches, Bays and Sea Lions on the Eyre Peninsula, South Australia

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 [...]

Wine tasting in the Barossa Valley and camping at Parham, South Australia

When we left our campsite one cool morning in Eden Valley, South Australia, we were excited. It was wine tasting time again! Today we were heading to the Barossa Valley, Australia’s premier wine growing region. We had gone a little overboard when we were in the Hunter Valley in New South Wales, and since we [...]

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 [...]
