Crossing the Nullarbor – our adventure from Western Australia into South Australia

On the end of our Big Lap, on limited time, we traversed The Nullarbor in two days. Kids were due back at school, we had businesses to run but were so keen to experience this famed road trip. We left Esperance and the beauty of Cape Le Grand National Park, through Grass Patch and the heart of Mallee Country. The Nullarbor Plain begins in Norseman, Western Australia – we saw camels here, which was pretty cool. “The Nullarbor” is an 1100km route. Here’s where we stopped: Balladonia was a lunch stop with a pretty multicoloured picket fenced playground. Oh, we were so

Ready for 2024 adventures? The BEST of Australia is right here

We hope you’re ready for some 2024 adventures, but firstly – THANK YOU to all the travellers who wrote in and told us they loved our camping myths! Some had questions, others brought up the self-contained debate and we were told: “It is good to see someone not afraid to print the truths about a lot of the xxxx that is out there. Keep up the good work.” Another traveller, Bruce, used our App and book for a 5-week Streaky Bay to Sydney roadtrip and here are his photos and locations! He told us: “We could not fault the expert

CAMPING 101: 6 THINGS PARENTS NEED TO SHOW THEIR KIDS ABOUT CAMPING

Parents, if you are reading this then you are likely already GIFTING your children the joys of camping and outdoor adventures. Like the lovely Brown family pictured, who we met at Goondiwindi Golf Club in Queensland, this winter. (It has FREE camping if you play golf). Their son LOVED the new CAMPS wrap on the vehicle. This is what we reckon Mums and Dad’s ticklist for educating young campers is: 1 PICK UP Leave an area tidier than you found it. If a bin is overflowing, take your rubbish with you. Simples!
