Our Next Adventure

In 2018 we headed off on an around Australia trip, mainly with the intention of incorporating Perth in our trip, to finally visit the Brodie family residing over there.  We spent longer in Perth than planned due to our fridge failing us and repairs taking longer than we had expected.  Luckily the fridge failed in Perth which meant that fortuitously we could spend longer with the family there. However, the down side was that we didn't quite manage to complete our round Australia trip before it was time to head home. Several years of COVID ramifications, locked borders etc have prohibited us from continuing on this journey of exploration of this magnificent continent we live in.
However, we are now finally going to head off to continue this journey. Our journey around the coastline in 2018 ended at Ceduna before we headed home, so we plan to head across country to Ceduna and wend our way mainly along the coastline and see how far we get. The plan is to leave on 19th September and return by 12th November.


We plan to travel in some of the areas shown on this map. We have a rough itinerary but have not planned any definite stops or timelines. We will be using Hema Maps to find our way around and for recording our travels. We will be updating this blog when possible as well as posting on Facebook. We will also be carrying a Satellite phone and our old SPOT that we are hoping may still work.

      Wondering who "Anonymous" is here?
      Not planning on going on the Googs track. Maybe would consider if we weren't travelling on our own. Plus it is much further north than we plan to travel to reach Ceduna

Day 3 Dirranbandi to Narrabri

A bit of rain during the night but intensified as the morning wore on Our view from the van window… We had parked on the hard core to ensure that we didn’t get bogged. Checked the water levels of the river and it had gone down a bit, judging by the stick that Bill had put there Had a check of the area down by the river and found this informative sign We didn’t pack up and move on straight away. Took a while to study the maps, study the weather, road conditions etc to decide what we were going to do, seeing as it was obvious that we weren’t going to be able to continue on the route that we had planned.  So, at this point we have decided to completely reverse our overall planned route and travel the opposite direction, hopefully escaping the majority of the flooding Before we left the area, seeing as we were on the road to Cubbie Station and I had often wondered where it was We drove a little way down that road as far as the Ginnery, got a good view of the swollen Ballone Minor river...

Day 40 Walkers Rock to Streaky Bay and stuff in between

Beautiful morning to start the day this was the view from our fabulous campsite which was one of the best from the trip so far When we drove out I took a photo of this sign just to double check that they appeared to be no name for any of the campsites however it was quite clear where the sites were They were just red arrows with the word campsite at each of the turns and we could basically pick where we wanted to be.  there were quite a few people in nice little nooks and crannies but we had managed to find our own away from everyone The beautiful violet coloured everlasting flowers were growing here We drove down to the main car park area and where the toilet and shower block is as Bill needed to do a little bit of a repair work on the Anderson plug. He had discovered that the batteries weren’t charging and when he looked at the Anderson plug he discovered there was an issue with the connection. He had to spend a long time doing a temporary fix as it was in a very awkward positio...
