The Grampians wildflowers are one of the many highlights of south eastern Australia during spring. This iconic national park bursts into colour, with over 1,000 species of wildflowers calling the region home! The season typically kicks off in late August and runs through mid-November, with each area offering something a little different. But no matter…
Honestly, the best sunsets in Australia are easy to find. Road trip almost anywhere downunder, and sooner or later the three main conditions for a great sunset will come together – wide open spaces, a big sky, and a prop (or two). That’s according to me, anyway. I’ve been road-tripping around Oz for YEARS, discovering…
Canal Rocks is a must-see spot on the south west coast of Western Australia, near Yallingup. It’s a group of ancient and massive granite rocks, shaped by the forces of the Indian Ocean and the wind. This relentless erosion created the canals and the narrow channel we can see today. There’s a set of boardwalks…
Rottnest Island (also known as Wadjemup and Rotto) is one of the most famous destinations in Western Australia and it’s just a short ferry ride from Perth. We’ve been there twice and absolutely love it! However, the island is also famous for being expensive… The food is very pricey, not to mention you’ll have to…
We know first-hand how hard it is to pick a whale shark tour – most are really good, have raging reviews, and offer similar experiences. We’ve booked two whale shark tours in Exmouth, plus have lived in Western Australia most our lives! We’ve also visited the Ningaloo Reef more times than we can count. So…
The Scenic Rim isn’t just another spot for a quick escape! It’s a place where you’ll find something new around every corner. It’s in south east Queensland, just over an hour from Brisbane – perfect for a weekend away. But honestly, there’s so much going on there that you’ll want to stay longer. From stunning…
I was once one of the many travellers who, upon driving down the eastern shore of South Australia’s Yorke Peninsula, would pass the Port Clinton turn-off without a second thought. Big mistake. Sitting a 90-minute drive from Adelaide, this hidden gem of the Yorke Peninsula is a small town offering more than just a quiet…
Snorkelling at Busselton Jetty should be on everyone’s bucket list. We’ve snorkelled the place three times already, and each time it’s been amazing – crystal-clear visibility, calm waters, and heaps of marine life to see! Keep in mind that this is one of Australia’s largest artificial reefs, and the second-longest timber jetty in the world!…
Salt and Charcoal Travel made $17,730 between July and September 2024 – the third quarter of the year. That’s $5,910 a month made while… TRAVELLING! To say we are grateful is an understatement. And we will never not pinch ourselves. But the reason we are sharing this isn’t to brag, it’s simply to show you…
Dwellingup is where you go for some of the best forest adventures in Western Australia, at just an hour and a half drive from Perth. Due to its location, the best things to do in Dwellingup are outdoorsy. Think hiking, kayaking, mountain biking, and ziplining through the trees. You’ll spend most of your time in…
