Queen Mary Falls

30th March - 1st April 2016

Queen Mary Falls is in the Middle Ranges, a nice easy drive from Brisbane through Beaudesert, Boonah and then up the range. Fabulous narrow windy, lush drive. Well, for me, Dez doesn't like hills!!! At the peak is the headwaters of the Condamine River which then flows into the Murray/Darling basin.

The camp ground was lovely and we had a huge grassy area pretty much to ourselves. The walk to the Falls was a cruisey 2klm return stroll. A bonus for Dezzi, 'cos he doesn't get very excited about hikes!

The camp ground had loads of different birds, who would come right up to you. Two lazy nights here. Starting to relax!


Next stop Nindigully Pub out near St. George, after a grocery and grog top up in Warwick!

The Nullarbor

19th May - 16th May 2017 The Nullarbor ! People seems to either love it, or hate it. Many say it is so long and boring, with nothing to see. Others contradict and say there is so much to see, if only you take the time. Well.....let's see. We can't wait to explore the vastness of this part of Australia. Stand in awe on the cliffs of the Great Australian Bight. And simply experience the stark, rugged  beauty that is our country. Camping in the bush or by the ocean. Bring it on! Our rig all ready, set to go. Top up with fuel at Norseman. Lucky we only needed a little bit! And hit the road.....not the cyclist. Crazy! First bush camp at Afgan Rocks a couple of hundred k's down the road. A free camp on a property. Down the track. To a large clearing complete with dam and windmill. Very rural. Feeling fantastic. A roaring fire, drinks and snacks. Not a soul in sight. Just us and the emus. Oh yeah! This is the life. ...

Nannup - Manjimup - Pemberton - Walpole

The Southern Forest Region 27th March - 14th April 2017 Stunning forest drives, walks through majestic karri, marri and tingle tree forests. Beautiful coastlines and quaint towns that once thrived on timber cutting. The first stop in this magnificent region, the small town of Nannup and our camp at Barrabup in the Karri forest. It feels so good to be back on the road exploring new areas after our huge stay in Moore River. Nannup (Barrabup Camp - National Park) Welcome to Nannup! Flowers everywhere and autumn trees with their golden leaves. The main street of Nannup. What a change! Camping among the tall trees instead of by the beach. No other campers while we were there. Ahhhhh the serenity. And our first camp fire in months. Not the greatest weather. So this is how you keep the camp fire going during a shower of rain! Lots of cheeky possums. Where we were camped was once a thriving timber mill. So hard to imagine as there is nothing but for...

Coral Coast

26th October - 16th November 2016 9 Mile Beach Within a couple of hours from Exmouth Airport to back camping on the beach. It was so good to be back in our little cubby house and on the road. However......not with the rain!!! The first day and night of our three night stay we were the only ones here. Peace and quiet heaven. Nicely tucked in against the dune out of the howling wind. Just us. View south from the top of the dune behind us. Home Sweet Home. But, man, the rain. It poured and poured. Oh well. Nothing to do but throw on the rain jacket and hit the beach fishing. And to quote an old saying. All we got was a wet arse and no fish! Our neighbours for a couple of days. And who would have ever thought...two Bev Youngs!!! In between rain showers it was lovely going for long beach walks. So many birds. Oyster Catchers. Sandpipers. These very tiny Sandpipers of some king (we think) are everywhere on th...
