Salt Creek (South Australia) is a small settlement on the coastal road between Adelaide and Mount Gambier, which gives access to the Limestone Coast. It’s the perfect place to stop along the section of the Princes “Highway” (an overgenerous description) that passes through the Coorong – the longest, thinnest National Park in Australia! Even though…
I’m a lighthouse lover from waaay back. There’s something about those clean lines against the dramatic coastline that makes my shutter-button finger itch! It’s itched so much after all my years road-tripping around Australia, that I’ve ended up with hundreds of lighthouse shots from all over! So I decided to embark on the difficult task…
The Margaret River region is famous worldwide for its wines… No wonder why most of the tours available are wine tours! What about those of us who don’t want a tour ONLY about wine tasting? Or those who simply can’t or don’t want to drink wine (or any other alcoholic beverage)? That’s what this list…
Lions Road is a small drive north of Kyogle, crossing the Border Ranges National Park and connecting New South Wales with Queensland. It’s not some regular drive, though – it’s a whole experience! The landscape along the road is absolutely incredible, but the drive is a bit intense. There are some narrow spots and curves,…
Looking for an epic hike? Mount Abrupt (Mud-Dadjug) in the Grampians National Park should be on your list. This is a steep 6.5 km hike (3.25 one way) to the summit, so it’s not for the faint-hearted. But believe me, the views from the top are absolutely worth it. The trek takes around 2.5 to…
Most wine tours in Margaret River (WA) offer a similar experience – they take you winery-hopping to world-class venues along picturesque vineyards for most of the day. To make matters better (or worse), most have hundreds of excellent reviews and cost around the same. That’s why you must look into the details before choosing a…
Copley and the nearby Leigh Creek are thought of as places to stay while exploring the Flinders Ranges, but they’re vastly underestimated. These hidden gems in South Australia’s outback sit at a 6-hour drive from Adelaide. They offer a unique blend of natural beauty, history, and Aboriginal culture. There are heaps to do – challenging…
Cameron Corner is one of the few places in Australia where you can stand in 3 states at the same time – the north west corner of NSW, the southwest corner of QLD, and the eastern South Australian border. It’s as remote as it sounds. The nearest town is Tibooburra, a.k.a. the hottest place in…
The Aquarium is a gem tucked away along the pristine Yallingup coastline, in the southwest of Western Australia. It’s a small lagoon protected by large granite outcrops, making it perfect for snorkelling and a relaxing swim. The waters are crystal-clear and calm – it’s called The Aquarium for a reason! The place is free to…
Eromanga is a small mining town in the middle of the Western Queensland Outback and it holds the title of the furthest town from the sea in Australia. This was surprising, at least to me – I would’ve thought a town like this would be somewhere in Central Australia, like Alice Springs! Turns out this…
