Jour 13
Are we on the moon?
30 avril 2021, Australie ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
After stopping at a campsite just outside town for the night, we drove on to William Creek, which has a population of only 12!

On we went to explore incredible Lake Eyre. Lake Eyre is Australia's largest salt lake, and in the center it is 15.2m below sea level. We thought we were on the moon! 🌙

Today was a big day of driving and we camped pretty much on the side of the gravel road, which had a population of 50000 flies and 10000 grasshoppers. Both of which really wanted to swim in my pasta. 🤷🏼‍♀️En savoir plus

Jour 14
Warraweena
1 mai 2021, Australie ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C
Today we visited Baltana Historic Town. Getting there gave Daz a workout, but it was so worth the bumpy drive. This town reminded me of the movie 'House of Wax'(don't watch it, it's terrible) - full of abandoned hotels, bakeries, butchers and homes. Lots of plaques explaining the history on how they used to survive in the outback 100 years ago.

We then drove to camp amongst the 'Flinders Ranges' at 'Warraweena Conservation Park'. We met 'Stoney' at the old homestead who very kindly gave us a couple of beers and directed us to our campground. It was stunning - alongside an old gorge that occasionally fills with water, and we woke to emus wondering through the camp. Special!En savoir plus

Monster moths
2 mai 2021, Australie ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Shorter drive today to the town Blinman. We treated ourselves to some chips and beers for lunch, and then drove on to find a campsite along the Parachilna Gorge.

The gorge is very empty at this time of year which is good to protect us from mozzies, however I have screamed several times tonight due to discovering the world's largest moths. Good job they're is no one anywhere near us or they'd thing there's a murder happening. They are absolute monsters.

Meanwhile during this traumatic time lachie distracted me by introducing me to damper, which was pretty delish. We listened to some owls, had a wine and enjoyed no more moth attacks. 🦉En savoir plus

Today we continued on the bumpy roads of the outback to the Flinders Ranges. The Flinders Ranges are stunning rock formations some dating back to 650 million years ago. We had a lovely hike and then enjoyed the views over lunch.

We ended our day in a campground just outside of Port Augusta. No more dust! 🙌En savoir plus

Dolphins!
5 mai 2021, Australie ⋅ ☁️ 16 °C
Well yesterday was very special!
We drove to Lincoln National Park from port Augusta to camp for the night. It's gorgeous here, white sandy beaches and colourful birds.

We set up our camp and then went for a hike to a stunning cove, only to find a pod of dolphins swimming offshore! Lachie was straight out there with droney capturing them playing and frolicking in the shallow waters. We decided to jump down into the cove in the hope they'd come over, and they swam no more than 10m away! I think they were very curious.

We trekked back to our tent reliving the magic, and passed emus and more gorgeous birds.

Ended our afternoon with a paddle out on the calm waters. 🛶En savoir plus

Lincoln National Park
6 mai 2021, Australie ⋅ ⛅ 21 °C
In true Shuholder style, we started our day with yoga and a paddle board. We then drove on to explore more gorgeous beaches in the National Park, shame it was too chilly for a swim!

After grabbing some supplies in Port Lincoln we drove up the coast past coffin bay, and camped on the cliff tops at Picnic Beach. Delicious pizzas for dinner on the BBQ 🍕En savoir plus

Jour 23
The Nullarbor
10 mai 2021, Australie ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
Sorry we've been a little quiet - reception has been a bit dodgy (which is a blessing in disguise).

We had a lovely couple of final days exploring the Eyre Peninsula before moving onto the Nullabor.

Found a gorgeous beachfront campsite at Point Brown in Smoky Bay (in SA still), only to wake the following morning to see a family of mice had been munching on our wraps 🐭 less than ideal! Are they still with us? We'll let you know....

After a stop at the incredible Lake MacDonnell - the pink lake 🌷🌺 on we went to stock up on supplies for our next journey.

Thank god for the Harry Potter Audio books for keeping us entertained across the incredible Nullabor; over 1000km before a left turn. 😳 We crossed the boarder into WA today (a very wet WA), and have found a nice campsite before we continue on tomorrow to Cape Le Grande National Park 🌊En savoir plus

First stop in WA
11 mai 2021, Australie ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
Well we made it across the border and to our first stop in WA - Cape Le Grand National Park. Wow. Never have I ever (good drinking game)seen such crystal clear waters and pearly white sands. A true hidden gem. We spent the last couple of days swimming in the calm waters, hiking through the park and camped at the stunning Lucky Bay Camping ground.

Last night we treated ourselves to a motel for the night - we were in for bad weather and didn't fancy getting washed away. It was pretty nice having a long hot shower, and watching an actual TV! We've woken feeling rejuvenated and ready for more exploring of this incredible state. 🇦🇺En savoir plus

Another furry visitor!
13 mai 2021, Australie ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
Thursday we visited the incredible Wave Rock and Hippos Yawn in Hyden. It was a good 4 hour drive but worth it, Wave Rock is amazing! Never seen anything like it. Hippos Yawn was a short walk so we went and checked that out as well.

Friday we camped at the stunning East Bay Campground near Two People's Bay Nature Reserve. Such a good find!! Beachfront camping, and although a little chilly we did a nice walk along the beach and had a swim. Lach went for a Kite as the sun was setting and I watched with a beer in hand!

Once the sun had set and I began cooking dinner, I got a fright when a huge furry creature ran into my foot! I let out a massive scream (Lachie once again thought I was being dramatic) and after realising it was a Bandicoot (and that he can't fit in our engine), we watched him scurry around eating beetles. He was the best! We were also visited by several kookaburras! This morning we did some yoga, went for a paddle and had a swim. 🐭En savoir plus

Time for a climb
15 mai 2021, Australie ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C
Saturday Arvo we visited the granite Skywalk at Castle Rock, wowie!!! After a steep uphill hike, and a mad scramble to the top we were met with magnificent views over the stunning Porongurup National Park and beyond.

We then checked out Albany which was pretty cool, and treated ourselves to some lunch before topping up on water and groceries.

Today Lachie had a go at zorbing, where he sat in a big blow up ball with water and rolled down a hill. I decided to give it a miss..... after this we checked out the incredible elephant rocks and the surrounding national Park, before heading to Ducketts Mill Wines & Denmark Farmhouse. We sampled some delicious cheese and wine (and took a few home), and drove through Denmark which was a cool town full of cafes & bars.

Tonight is a simple rest stop before we head off tomorrow for more exploring. 🍷En savoir plus
