Gundagai
31 mars–1 apr. 2025, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
A late start, filled up in West Gosford, homemade picnic at Partridge rest stop on the Hume Highway. Windy and sporadic rain heading south.
Arrived Gundagai at 5pm, checked into our campsite on the Murrumbidgee River, set up camp and then walked into town for dinner at the Criterion Hotel.
There were hundreds of very noisy white cockatoos in the large river gums and oak trees in the park as you can hear in the attached videos.Läs mer

The Willows campsite
1–2 apr. 2025, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Woke up to a cold but sunny morning - walked across the bridge overlooking our campground then drove back into town to walk the main street with its historic buildings, some from the 1850’s and newer art deco buildings built after Gundagai’s catastrophic flood in 1852 when the town was moved up the hill.
Steady drive through to The Willows stopping at Wagga Wagga for lunch on the way.Läs mer

Burra
2 april 2025, Australien ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
Burra is full of beautiful heritage buildings - the thing we love about SA is the stone buildings.
Stayed at the small Burra caravan park right across Burra Creek from town, dinner at the Burra Hotel.
Next morning we walked back into “town” for another explore.Läs mer

Ardrossan
3–5 apr. 2025, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
We headed south through what would normally be grain and legumes fields - the region is currently very dry and quite barren looking. We decided to stay in Ardrossan for two nights, the township sits above stunning red coastal cliffs where the coast meets rolling farmland. Ardrossan is a historic port popular for its fishing and beaches (most beaches on the eastern side are mud flats, so not great looking at low tide).Läs mer

Road to Point Deberg
7 april 2025, Australien ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
Up early thanks to daylight saving finishing - overcast but a comfortable temperature. First stop Gyms Beach which is within the park but can only be accessed by the Corny Point Rd (looks like a nice quiet spot to bush camp).
Next is Daly Head which is a popular surfing and fishing spot. Drove on to Gleesons Landing at the end of a very corrugated track, looks like another fishing spot. Picnic lunch at Pt Deberg.Läs mer

Hey Helen, Moonta was where 6yr old Hannah M got left behind while everyone else was back at Wallaroo (or Soweto by the Sea as we called it then) before we realised. She survived at the local shop very well on chips and ice cream! [Ian]

No one in particular...there were 9 children from 3 families and no one did a head count as they were all mixed up piling into whatever car had space or with their closest friend of the day. Lesson learnt ! [Ian]

Moonta
7–8 apr. 2025, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C
In the northern region of Yorke Peninsula now and we spend one night at Moonta - large and rich deposits of copper were discovered at Moonta in 1861 by Patrick Ryan, a shepherd. The main mining operations continued until 1923, the region is now agricultural - barley wheat and legumes. Moonta is now a popular holiday town where the sandy coves, beaches, jetty and clear blue waters complete the idyllic panorama of Moonta Bay.Läs mer

Mt Remarkable
8 april 2025, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C
Camped at Mambray Creek in the National Park for 2 nights. We did the Mambray Creek trail up to sugargum lookout. Huge river gums in the camping area and many hollowed and burnt out ones along the walk. Hundreds of galahs and a few kangaroos here and we could hear the rangers shooting feral cats further up the ranges.Läs mer

Port Augusta and Whyalla
10 april 2025, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
Topped up on our food provisions and searched for potable water which we eventually found down at the Whyalla jetty. After being told about Point Lowly further back up the road, we decided to go and check it out. A free camp area by the bay but very windy and exposed so headed back down south and stayed in Cowell for the night.Läs mer

Cowell to Port Lincoln
11 april 2025, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
On the road and headed back to Lucky Bay where the car ferry takes you across the Spencer Gulf to Wallaroo. Lucky Bay looks like a holiday shack only ‘town’. We then headed inland to Ulbana Weir, back to Cowell’s silo art and then Port Gibbo.
Picnic lunch at the foreshore in Arno Bay, then walked along the beach with piles of seaweed which was a bit stinky.
Further south is Port Neill which has the obligatory jetty but a lot less weed. Port Neill seems almost deserted - no one walking around and the caravan park was practically empty.
Lipson Cove has great bush camping sites right on the white sandy beach.
Lastly into Tumby Bay which looks similar to Cowell except for the foreshore where there is a lot of erosion.
Point Lincoln is home for the next 3 nights.Läs mer
