Russian Spy's in Coober Pedy
26 luglio 2023, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
Let’s go for a drive around Coober Pedy and check out the scenery.

We headed out to the Kanku Breakaways Conservation Park where we saw the Dog Fence that crosses over 3 states to help keep the dingoes out of the pastoral lands. We also saw some very different and beautiful scenery.

Had a wander through the old cemetery and who knew - not only is Coober Pedy home of the Opal but Russian Spy’s 🤣.

Dinner was a large pizza that served us well for the next few days......Leggi altro

Not much to see on this leg, more open plains, some bushes and red dirt.

We crossed into the Northern Territory today and free camped approx 180 km south of Alice Springs.

Alice Springs
28 luglio 2023, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
We arrived in Alice springs this morning and set up camp at the Discovery Caravan Park 5km out of town - Luxury + this place. Great place. Plus some friendly natives drop in to say hello. 🦜

Dropped into town to get supplies and that was an eye opener let me tell you.Leggi altro

Alice to a Gravel Pit 😳
30 luglio 2023, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
We left the luxury of Discovery Holiday Park Alice Springs in a cloud of mist.

Traveling north along the Stuart Highway we crossed the Tropic of Capricorn and lunch at Ti Tree. Drove past Barrow Creek and had a quick stop at Wauchope (a purpose built oasis in the middle of nowhere). Also the most expensive fuel so far at $2.45 ⛽️

Drove past Alleron the large man on the hill 😳

Along the way I did a bit of cloud picture deciphering - let’s see if you see what I see 🤣 remember I have been driving through outback Australia for the last 2 weeks 🙄😖 (shark and seal). 🤔

We had a look at Karlu Karlu (Devils Marbles) and then onto our gravel pit stop for the night.Leggi altro

Nearly in Queensland
31 luglio 2023, Australia ⋅ 🌙 23 °C
Today saw us head towards the Qld border. The kids settled in for the drive before stopping at a roadside lake for lunch.

Tonight’s camp was opposite the Avon Downs Police Station and memorial to the longest sheep drive in Australia. Made an old fashioned phone call home with a free pay phone 📞.

To top it off an outback Sunset 😊Leggi altro

Mount Isa

We drove into Qld and into Mount Isa. Definitely a mining town that has the feel of Kalgoorlie.

Lake Moondarra, Mount Isa
2 agosto 2023, Australia ⋅ 🌬 28 °C
Thought we would commune with nature today so we took a drive out to Lake Moondarra a lovely spot with walks, big lake, dam, water ski area etc.

Took the kids for a walk along Wallaby Walk, they handled it like naturals. Plus some great views at the top. Took the scenic route home for a leisurely lunch and relaxing afternoon.Leggi altro

Croc River Rest Stop
3 agosto 2023, Australia
Today we head East as we make our way to Cooktown.

We had a drive through Mary Kathleen Town a now deserted townsite that was once a bustling town that housed workers for the nearby uranium mine. Now just a bunch of concrete pads.

Thought we would pay a visit to the Burke & Wills memorial only to discover someone had pinched the plaque 😳😔

Checked out Chinaman Creek Dam and painted silo at Cloncurry before turning north. A quick stop at Quamby for lunch and onto tonight’s watering hole on the banks of the Flinders River.Leggi altro

Talaroo Hot Springs
4 agosto 2023, Australia ⋅ 🌙 19 °C
After departing our river stop we headed to Normanton where we encountered Krys the largest crocodile captured way back in 1957 😳

We then drove through Croydon and were driving along when we drove past a sign that said hot springs, a u turn later here we are at Talaroo Hot Springs. This place is a great little get away. Some First Nation heritage and hot springs to boot. Also went for a walk along the Einsaleigh River to stretch the legs.Leggi altro
