Phillip Island is a small island below Melbourne and is the furthest south you can go before you hit Tasmania. We were going here as there were a few things we wanted to see so it was worth the trip.We arrived quite late in the day so only quickly crammed in one of the locations which is called the Nobbies. Its right on the tip of the island and is a set of rocky outcrops which take the full force of the oceans waves. Pretty impressive to see, plus they ...

Crossing through the Victoria state border was a "blink and miss it" affair with the smallest sign possible, but either way we were on the road again towards another part of the trip we were looking forward too, The Great Ocean Road.We had a 220km drive to a town called Peterborough(!) which is at the start of the Great Ocean Road, so we stayed here overnight as we knew we would run out of time that day to do the road.So we were up nice and early ...

At last we are leaving the Outback! WOOHOO!!!!Heading south from Coober Pedy we had 550km drive to Port Augusta which is called the Crossroads of Australia, basically because once you get here you either head West to Perth, South to Adelaide, East to Sydney or North to the Outback. Our plan was to head west to Perth but we thought we'd take a couple of days to relax first as we'd basically done nothing but drive for the past 3 weeks!On the way south thoug...

9hrs after leaving Uluru we arrived in the dusty South Australia town of Coober Pedy. On the way down from Uluru, across the Northern Territory (NT) and South Australia (SA) border we saw a whole lotta nothing as far as you can see. The highlight of the trip though was seeing quite a few Wedge Tailed Eagles feasting on roadkill, mainly squished kangaroo's at the side of the road. My god those are huge birds!!!!Right, Coober Pedy. This town is famous as being ...

Uluru or Ayers Rock, whichever you call it, is a long way from anywhere. If you stuck a pin in the centre of Australia you'd pretty much be on the money with where Uluru is, so this was our next stop on our tour of Oz.We left Alice Springs nice and early but it still took us about 5 hours, again roasting hot, to get to Uluru. About 160km from it you suddenly notice a huge red rock in the distance, and if it hadn't been for the Lonely Planet Australia book you w...
