So after an ok nights sleep (not due to ghosts but the beds) we headed to see the sights of Mount Gambier. First up was the Umpherston Sinkhole which had been made into a beautiful garden which Kyle appreciated by asking why we were seeing a hole in the ground? Little did he know I was about to drag him to another 'hole in the ground'. Next up we went to see another sink hole called Cave Gardens. This is right in the centre of Mount Gambier and used to be the t...

Today we start our road trip. First stop Mount Gambier. The journey took us about 5 1/2 hours covering around 512 Kms. The driving was pretty good the roads are wide and there is nobody on them. Tonight we spend a night in a goal which is different. The old mount Gambier Gaol was decommissioned in 1995 but up until 2010 it was still being used as a rehibilation centre for ex prisoners. It was used as a prison for 129 years, some of the cells go back to when it ...

On Tuesday we headed to Kangaroo Island although as our boat wasn't until 6pm we just chilled out for most of the day. The island is 155km in length, makes Guernsey look tiny, and is the third largest island off Australia! Yet it only has a population of 4,600. We were booked in for a tour on Wednesday which took us various places around the Island. Just so your not all too jealous it was pissing it down, freezing cold and we had to wear our coats. Firstly we he...

So today largely revolved around wine... we had an early start being picked up at 7:40am from the hostel and embarking on a tour with 9 other people, of the famous Barossa Valley, responsible for producing some of Australia's best wines. On the way we stopped at The Big Rocking Horse (less said the better) and The Whispering Wall, a dam stretching 140m and due to the way it has been structured, on a curve, you can literally hear someone whispering at the other e...

So, you wouldn't believe it! We got rained on! We come the other side of the world to get away from it and it bloody follows us! Admittedly, it was a very light drizzle for about 5 minutes but that's besides the point. Today we headed to the National Wine Centre which to be honest wasn't all it was cracked up to be. We ended up being there no more than 30 minutes and will not go down as a particular highlight. We then headed to the Botanic Gardens for a bit of ...
