Our travels around the Eyre Peninsula had so far revolved mainly around fishing and the theme was to continue as we left Cowell and headed north towards Whyalla. We had had a bit of luck with the King George Whiting and were hoping to catch ourselves some Snapper once we were set up and the season opened at midday on the 30th November. We stopped in Arno Bay for our lunch and were lucky to find a pretty new park on the waterfront that had room for the three o...

Our first stop after leaving Ceduna and travelling down the west coast of SA's Eyre Peninsula was the small holiday/fishing town of Smokey Bay. We pulled up on the water front and were all immediately walking around with big smiles on our faces! After the long days of not much at all along the Nullarbor we were all glad to be back on the coast. While admiring the view and checking out the waterfront caravan park, we ran into a bloke that Luke and Megan had m...

The Nullarbor, as it is commonly called for the NP and plains that the road travels through, is an iconic road trip for all Australians and our group were all taking the drive for the first time. Saying goodbye to Greg and Kate again in Kalgoorlie we were all loaded up and keen for the driv...

Rolling into Coober Pedy (CP) is an experience probably unmatched by any other town in Australia, let alone the world!

You notice the small treeless hills that are in the town have front doors and fences around them, giving our first glimpse of the underground world, this small mining town i...

Pulling into the West Beach Big 4 on the holiday strip of Adelaide, Glenelg, we were struck by two things almost immediately. #1 was what a massive and very well equipped holiday park it was and #2 yes you do get what you pay for, and in this case it was lots! Our most expensive park stay yet ( not by a lot) although when you consider all the extras on offer for old and young alike it buys a lot of relaxed time for all, which is what we all look for when on ou...
