📍Lake Hart, Wirraminna SA
25 septembre 2024, Australie
Rest stop and free camp along the Stuart Highway and possibly the windiest camp so far!
Camp overlooked Lake Hart which was a cool place to wander around.
From experience we recommend not to taste test the lake as it’s sickeningly salty!
The water is also the total opposite of applying moisturiser to your skin!En savoir plus

Quiet camp to catchup on some maintenance and service the car.
The flies made this place the most challenging service location yet! Lucky we had hair nets.
We were meant to head back to the Oodnadatta Track and travel to Lake Eyre but an overnight shower closed all unsealed roads in the region. Illegal and with big fines to continue, we back tracked to the Stuart Highway.En savoir plus

A couple days to check out Coober Pedy.
Certainly an interesting town with interesting locals. Many homes are built underground to escape the heat, if you find a few opals during the dig then the house becomes a lot cheaper!
We met a nice guy that provides the gear to go noodling at the huge dirt dumps in town. Dig and shine your VU light to hopefully strike it rich, no luck for us though. A little sketchy wandering the mounds of loose earth in the dark but fun at the same time.
Finished off the visit with a sunset dinner at the best spot in townEn savoir plus

Trekked down the Oodnadatta track on an outback driving adventure and to cross it off the to do list. One of the must do 4x4 treks.
Remote, barron and dry is an understatement and also the attraction.
A historic outback town in the early days when northern, southern and central Australia were not connected by any roads.
The quirky pink road house was a hit with the kids, they even dressed for the occasion.

The Painted Desert was a rough detour that delivered. We saw about 10people in total over the 2-3days in the area. A true unknown gem.
Sunsets, sunrises and stars can’t be beat out here and its not a region to visit in the middle of summer!En savoir plus

We based ourselves at the only campground within 100km of Ayers Rock and as expected, expensive for just small patch of dirt (and with no hook ups)
Everything was very touristy as expected so getting the chance to visit The Olgas practically alone was a treat.
Ayers Rock was impressive, but The Olgas was more captivating in our opinion and 90% of visitors appeared to skip it 🤔
The bike ride activity wasn’t cheap either but almost a must do here. It took us a bit over 3hours and at times we forgot we were still riding around a rock with the way that the track just kept going.
Short but activity packed visit and happy to get away from the crowdsEn savoir plus

Free remote camp along the Plenty.
Helped some travellers (who arrived at dusk) to change their damaged tyre after their jack broke. Definitely not two things you want to happen out here! They were heading to where we had just came from.
Had to also let them know that they had just driven the smoothest part of the plenty, the roughest part was next!
Suggested they lower their tyre pressures from standard pressures and change some settings on the dash as they had the same 4x4 as us.
Hopefully they made it!En savoir plus

Another small outback QLD town with a cheap camp by a nice creek.
This region was known for a rodent plague in recent months with a few of them still hanging around at night. Most cars parked with bonnets up and other deterrents to discourage rodent damage to engine and wiring. No damage to ours luckily! In the morning we only saw a couple rats in the council installed traps 🙃
The ducks were cool though!
Obvious highlight here was the local swimming pool. Entry was so cheap that we felt guilty! Family entry was less than a child entry in the city. Perfect way to spend the afternoon and cool offEn savoir plus

1 night stop over. Camp site was nothing flashy but still had a great visit.
Richmond is know for the discovery of marine dinosaur fossils and the theme is carried around town which is interesting.
Pulled up at the local parklands/lake which was pretty decent for a small town.
Spent the afternoon here staying cool and chilling out on the nice grass which was luxurious after all the dirt. Bumped into some

A less well known little national park with a beautiful gorge as its center piece.
Sounded perfect to us so we tried and luckily scored a site for one night.
Tight sites but we managed to squeeze in.
Bumped into some friends we met from Lara station so we hung out and explored with them.
The days were getting hotter so this gorge was the perfect spot to chill and swim at.
Nice sand, cool fresh water, nice backdrop, Beats any swimming pool 👌🏽
Walk back up wasn’t as fun though 🙃En savoir plus

We misread the map and missed the highway description, 200km of unsealed road. Explains the lack of other vehicles! (Not a bad thing)
Mentally we weren’t prepared for the rocks and bull dust when we woke that morning!
No big deal, thats what we prepared and bought the gear for.
In the end it was an enjoyable day of driving. Bring on more dirt!
Overnight camp at the Showgrounds,$10 for the family including water hook up.

20–24 août 2024, Australie ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C
We weren’t sure what to expect on our 1st station stay & proper bush campsite.
In the end we were pleasantly surprised, and hooked!
No designated camp sites, no power/water hook up, fires allowed (with the best fire/cheapest firewood!) and a lot of natural space. These have now become our prerequisites for picking a camp spot!
We all made friends, which wasn’t hard to do here. Everyone seemed to be on the same relaxed and chilled level (Maybe that 15km dirt entry road is a natural barrier for certain types!)
No wonder everyone extends their stay as soon as they arrive, us included.

Hoping to find more of these gems

15,000 acre cattle station, Natural artesian bore supplying quality drinking water, relaxing hot pools and a wetland oasis for a lot of birdlife.
All Tucked away in the middle of QLD.En savoir plus
