For our three days in Tumby Bay the wind was raging consistently, but on our last morning we woke to the sound of waves breaking on the shore. We hadn't heard this before due to the blaring of the wind. This morning broke still and warm and sunny. We moved on to Port Neil, a small town further up the coast. The best thing I can say for it is it had a nice beach, and that was what we needed as the day was turning into a scorcher. The caravan park was very basic, ...

We had no specific plans for Christmas. We had considered staying at Port Lincoln as it was a big town and may have some Christmas activities or events. However the lady in the Tourist Info assured us there was nothing happening there and everything would be shut. The only vaguely Christmas related activity was a boat cruise around the marina to look at the Christmas lights in people's homes - a bit like The Boulevarde in Ivanhoe, but it can only be viewed from ...

The next part of our journey consisted of trekking down the west coast of the Eyre Peninsula, a region signposted as the 'Seafood Frontier.' This whole coast revolved around seafood o...

We have crossed the Nullarbor three times before, and this is our fourth. The first time we went east to west with the kids, then back west to east a month later. The third time was four years ago during our loop of Highway 1, so was also west to east. This time was west to east as well. However I still maintain the best way to see the Nullarbor, especially your first time, is to travel east to west. You begin at Ceduna, the official start of the 'tree-less plai...
