We rolled into the tiny tranquil town of Coffin Bay and decided to make it our home-base for the next 5 nights. This carefree bay looks and feels like the holiday-town from your childhood. We enjoyed the Oyster Walk that winds around the many sheltered coves and up to the lookout. We also explored theContinue reading “Coffin Bay (SA)”

On our way to Streaky Bay we stopped overnight at Kiana Park. A peaceful family owned & operated farm. We also spent some time walking around unusual rock formations called Murphy’s Haystacks. We stayed at the Streaky Bay Foreshore Caravan Park for 4 nights. The waters edge was only meters from our van and IContinue reading “Streaky Bay (SA)”

We aim to spend most of our time discovering Western Australia however we spent a few weeks following South Australia’s stunning “Seafood Frontier” coastline and stayed in the towns of Wallaroo, Whyalla, Coffin Bay & Streaky Bay. The Wallaroo Jetty extends out 870 meters into water that is 10 metres deep. Groups of dolphins hangContinue reading “Wallaroo (SA)”

We’ve spent over 30 years setting the alarm clock for 6am so we decided that during this trip we would NEVER set the alarmContinue reading “Finally…travelling Australia🤞”

Everybody loves a weekend away. Especially when it’s only a 90 minutes drive from Melbourne. We visited Castlemaine in September 2019 and returned 4 weeks later to explore some more. Castlemaine is known for its rich gold rush history, creative residents, local eateries and impressive botanical gardens. After exploring the Castlemaine Botanical Gardens we continuedContinue reading “Castlemaine VIC”

At home…our travel plans were put on hold due to the Coronavirus Lockdown cancelling all travel in Australia. Fortunately, we could both postpone our Long Service Leave and continue to work. Hopefully we will turn off our alarm clocks in March 2021… However, the dog is still dead and thank god the kids haven’t movedContinue reading “So where the bloody hell are we?”
