Leaders Creek
After four months in Darwin, we finally figured out at which water level the boat ramp at Buffalo Creek is best to use. (No, haven’t mixed up the creeks 😉 I just wanted to include the Buffalo Creek experience in the same blog.) Buffalo Creek boat ramp can be tricky. If there is less than […]
Cape to Cape
In 2019 we conquered the Cape to Cape track. The hardest part was to find the time to do it and the logistics of being dropped off and picked up. It was a great experience on this awesome multiday hike with stunning views, wildlife and ever changing weather. Shortly after the start point you come […]
Perth – Cervantes by push bike
I was always undecided what to think about the cyclists riding around Australia or even through the red centre. Some days I was amazed by the determination, other days I questioned their sanity. I decided I had to give it a go myself to be allowed to judge. Since I wasn’t planning to circumnavigate the […]
4WD Adventure – Esperance to Israelite Bay
In 2023 my dad visited us from Switzerland and amongst all the trips we took him on, one was the 4WD adventure along the coast from Esperance to Israelite Bay. I haven’t done the whole stretch, and my partner did it decades ago, so it was good fun for all of us. We started off […]
Karijini National Park
The first time I visited the Karijini National Park was in December 2017 while I was travelling Western Australia as part of my around the world trip. I fell in love with it right away and couldn’t stay away when I got back to Australia in 2019. In 2020 I visited three times, but I […]
Fitzroy River
The first time my partner took me to the Fitzroy River was in 2019. We have been there a few times since. I will try to put all the adventures at the river into one blog. Our usual camp is Langi’s Crossing, you can find it on Wiki Camps app. Coming from Broome, you take […]
Mary River – Shady Camp and Corroboree Billabong
Finally, our first break since we got to Darwin to explore our new backyard! And what a backyard it is – scenic rivers and abundant wildlife, not only crocodiles, but birds, insects, wallabies, buffalos etc. We decided to head to Shady Camp at the Mary River, about 200km from where we are living in Darwin. […]
Yorke Peninsula
After our Tasmania trip and before heading back up north, we had a look around Yorke Peninsula in March 2025. Despite starting our trip on a long weekend finding a camp site wasn’t as hard as we expected. Port Julia bush camp is a nice spot and the camp hosts a very welcoming friendly couple. […]
Eyre Peninsula
After our long road trip down towards Adelaide in December 2024 we explored the Eyre Peninsula before heading into town for Christmas. We came in from Port Augusta side and drove down to Whyalla, where we visited the Hummock Hill Lookout from where you can see the square Whyalla Jetty and overlook the top end […]
Cobourg Peninsula (Garig Gunak Barlu National Park)
Yes, this blog is completely out of chronological order and takes us back to September 2021 – our big adventure to Cobourg Peninsula in Arnhem Land in the Northern Territory. The journey of this blog begins in Port Hedland. On his last break before the adventure my partner drove the Ute and camper trailer from […]
