I’ve done the Dutchman’s Stern hike twice – first in 2010, and then again in 2017. The views are SO impressive – they must be for me to go through the same long hike twice!

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.

You’ll drive through the rugged beauty of the Flinders Ranges to the…

There are over 50 Kangaroo Island beaches! All of them are scattered along the island’s 540-kilometre-long coastline. Some have calm and turquoise waters, with the whitest sand you’ll ever see. While others are rugged and rocky, with dramatic and spectacular scenery. This means that there’s a beach for everyone. Some are family-friendly, others with rough…
The famous “Halfway Across Australia” sign is in the small town of Kimba. It’s the halfway mark between Sydney on the East Coast and Perth on the West Coast. The 3,934 km drive from coast to coast is a LONG way, so getting halfway across Australia is an achievement! And the district council of Kimba is…
