Lone pine koala sanctuary

I'm looking forward to the Australian koalas are already a long time! The first thing that catches the eye is a koala is holding the tree mother sleeping, it tightly embrace the tree, a minute will not coming. Listen to the teacher said, the koala one day only "rest" 2 hours, the rest of the...

Now in Queensland

After a rubbish sleep, back on the road all day to see how far we can get. We did manage to drive almost to Mount Isa but it was a proper boring day. Miles and Miles of pure nothingness to look out of the window at… In the evening we camped up, too hoot for anything else but...

Donkeys, Spiders and Mice

Drove back on ourselves and finally ended up at the MacDonnell ranges and went to Ellery Creek Big Hole for a nice refreshing early morning swim. By refreshing, I mean bloody freezing! Many other people went down, dipped their feet in the water before running off scared, Chris and I were the...

The beautiful Kings Canyon

Got up early once again to go and see The Kings Canyon. It was a right mission of a walk that took 4 hours at the top of the canyon and to the bottom of the Garden of Eden. But it was so worth the effort and the views were outstandingly beautiful. ...

The Olgas

We couldn’t be bothered to wake up for Sunrise this morning but still got up early and went to Kata Tjuta which is still in the National Park and better known as the ‘Olgas’. We spent the morning walking around and exhausted ourselves once again before...

The almighty Ayers Rock

After hitting ‘snooze’ to many times we did surprisingly get up at 4:45am and drove into Uluru to see the amazing Ayers Rock for Sunrise with a ton of other tourists. Although it is a rock, it’s still pretty impressive and thought we would make the most of our entry fee...

First spotting of Ayers Rock

Drove to Alice first thing to fuel up with coffee and petrol and do some shopping before getting back in the van for another afternoon of driving. We found a really nice free camp spot for the night about 30kms away from Yulara with views of Ayers Rock for sunset up a sand dune with a beer;...

Bush fires and the devils marbles

The alarm went off at 5:30m this morning to get on the road first thing for an exhausted day of non-stop driving. Drove pretty much all day, with just a brief stop-over at Devil’s marbles which are a collection of round-ish rocks seemingly scattered in the desert. Chris...

A lot of driving and Edith Falls

Left Pine Creek this morning with a lot of driving ahead of us as we are now making our way down south to Alice Springs. We camped up just outside of Elliot for the night after driving pretty much all day stopping briefly at Edith Falls for a refreshing swim and Katherine for a bit of shopping.

Another day in Kakadu

Got up early once again and took a drive out to Nourlangie and went on a 1.5km walk past an ancient Aboriginal shelter and several more art sites. We then took a steep climb to Gun-warddehwardde Lookout and saw some impressive views of Kakadu’s escarpment and Nourlangie. After this...
