The 2018 Ultimate Campers Queensland Muster was one of those events that we could have quite easily filed in the “too hard” basket. The timing was terrible! We could have easily let my study get in the way. I (Trinity) was finishing final assignments for my Masters degree until late Friday night. Besides, we’d only… Read More Ultimate Campers 2018 QLD Muster: Our Recap
In desperate need of a break after an emotionally draining few weeks, we packed our bags and headed off to the Sunshine Coast for the Australia Day weekend. We were in search of a dog beach, op shops (we’re avid bargain hunters), good food, and some much needed R&R. Well, Sunny Coast, you certainly did… Read More Is this the Sunshine Coast’s best Dog Beach?
Keen to kick 2018 off with a bang, we booked a weekend away at Wave Hill Station near Grafton in early January. We found the farm stay via Airbnb. Keen to stay in a cabin rather than the tent to avoid the sweltering summer heat, their cute Dingo Cottage looked like just the place we… Read More Wave Hill Station Farm Stay
The final leg of our recent trip was through Outback New South Wales. After driving across the Simpson Desert, exploring the Oodnadatta Track, and taking a look around Innamincka, we welcomed a change of pace. For years I’d been fascinated from afar by towns such as Broken Hill and Bourke and was keen to see… Read More Outback New South Wales
After exploring the Oodnadatta Track for a few days, we were looking for a change – less ruins, more natural beauty. While we’d enjoyed exploring the ruins and Old Ghan Railway artefacts, there comes a point where all the sidings and villages of rubble start to look the same. We’d heard great things about Innamincka… Read More Exploring near Innamincka
After crossing the Simpson Desert off our bucket list, we were geared up and ready for the next part of our adventure – the Oodnadatta Track. The Oodnadatta Track is 620km running from Marla to Marree in South Australia. We picked up the track south of Dalhousie Springs, roughly 15km north of Oodnadatta, at the… Read More Driving the Oodnadatta Track
Driving across the Simpson Desert is a bucket-list trip for any keen 4-wheel-drive owner. It’s been on the cards for us since we did our trip to Cape York roughly 12 months ago. Around Christmas time we decided we’d make it happen this year. We spent our spare time for the next 6 months getting… Read More Crossing the Simpson Desert: Our Experience
Cooktown is a sweet little town. We explored the sights the morning after we camped there, checking out the Grassy Hill lookout and the Captain Cook statue. We stopped off at Bloomfield Falls, the first of the waterfalls we explored in the region. They are magnificent! Out of the waterfalls we visited it had the… Read More Cape York Day 16-18
Sorry guys! I got a little bit behind with blogging. Where did I leave you? The last few days have been a blur of mechanical issues and travelling. We set off to travel from our campsite at Loyalty Beach heading south with a quick detour to see the mouth of the Jardine River and old… Read More Cape York Day 11-15
Our last few days have been based at the Loyalty Beach Campground. This spot is perfect after bush camping on the Old Telegraph Track! We took advantage of the facilities and caught up on the basics like laundry, and also enjoyed a few nights off cooking dinner at DJ’s Garden Bar. The bar is such… Read More Cape York Day 9-10
