Big Lap part 5 – what we forgot to tell you…

If you’ve been following our socials, you’ll know about our NSW South Coast roadtrip into East Gippsland. This week, we’re in the Victorian High Country and loving it! Like our swim in the Snowy River at McKillops Bridge! Meanwhile, I had promised to tell you about our horror happening at Elephant Cove, latest apps and share info on the states we didn’t visit on our first ever lap. Winner Announcement Congratulations to Bev B. from Hervey Bay, QLD who won our $20,000 Kimberley Holiday Giveaway! Thanks to everyone who entered. We’re hoping to experience the Horizontal Falls, too – perhaps

Planning a big lap? Part 4 – Augusta, WA to ACT

Take our final journey of our Aussie Big Lap! This section starts us from Augusta WA, where you watch two oceans meet from the top of Australia’s tallest lighthouse! The tour was excellent – you can see we’re almost blasted off with the wind! And we think you’ll be blown away by all our tips along Australia’s south – for shorter breaks or your own lap. Importantly, our free giveaway is about to close. Although, we visited Broome and Derby – six tickets to Horizontal Falls wasn’t in our budget. This exact trip is definitely on my list. So enter

4 camps under Mount Barney, near Rathdowney in the Scenic Rim of Queensland

Flanagans Reserve – Image by Judy and Graham Gardiner Mount Barney is the second highest peak in South East Queensland and stands majestic in the Scenic Rim corner of Queensland. Mount Barney National Park’s camping areas can only be reached by foot. However there are four privately-run camps all located under beautiful Mount Barney, only 9 to 19 km from Rathdowney.

Family fun camping at Barn Hill, Western Australia

Kids will love to camp at Barn Hill Beachside Station Stay in Western Australia. The remote site is part of Thangoo Station – one of the few family owned and operated cattle stations in the Kimberley. You are right on the Indian Ocean, so it comes with magnificent views, red cliffs and rockpools! Over 50 km of coastline is yours for exploring. If you time it right, you’ll find wildflowers, too. Arrive early if you want an ocean side spot! It is fully equipped with shade, powered sites, BBQs, picnic tables, laundry and amenities. Camping shelters and chalets, as well

Family Friendly Fun

Broome to the Bungle Bungles, Wangi to Warburton – is everyone travelling?

It feels like everyone is travelling! Mum has just returned from a Broome to Kakudu adventure, and that is after fun for her 80th birthday in Adelaide and the Murray River! My sister was flood bound on the NSW Pacific Coast and was delighted with their caravan park at Scotts Head, near Macksville. My brother in law sent word from a WA free camp on the Outback Way enroute to Uluru! Meanwhile, our Ambassadors are also exploring WA’s Kimberley treasures, from Broome to the Bungles Bungles! Our new Tik Tok page has gone VIRAL this week, and do you know why? It was thanks
