We never tire of the wonderful portrait Australia’s colourful landscape paints. An endless blue sky, touching the parched-red earth on a faraway horizon…magical, hey!

About us…
We love the colours of the Australian Outback, the red earth touching a blue sky on a faraway horizon; and the fabulous coastline of our sunburnt country, where a golden sandy beach is washed over by a warm turquoise blue sea…
A few years ago we graduated from work and re-entered the classroom of life where an education is guaranteed and all that is needed is an open mind.
Back to the basics in the Australian Outback, cooking over a flame.

One of the most enjoyable things about heading off into this wonderous land we call Australia is the anticipation it brings, of things that we will see, experiences to be had, and of course the characters you meet along the way.
Over the past month or so we have been thumbing the pages of our well-worn Australian map book as we plan an adventure to the Northern Territory, Gulf Savannah, and the Atherton Tablelands.
And yes, as some of you might recall we were recently touring the Atherton Tablelands, but with so much to see and experience in that part of Australia, you can’t visit enough! Besides, it is much warmer than the cold temperatures of southern Australia at this time of year.
COVID-19 restrictions aside, as they come and go, we have had a forced ‘lay-up’ as our touring vehicle undergoes an overhaul of the essential ‘bits and pieces’ to ensure it remains well prepared for remote area touring. Having it in tip top condition before driving out the front-gates goes a long way to ensuring (relatively) trouble free travel.
In the meantime, as we count down to pointing ourselves northwards, we’ll enjoy photographs of past trips into this great country, Australia…

We’ve been hiding away in paradise these past couple of week’s with no Wi-Fi, but a wonderful connection...!
Warm days filled with walks on beaches fringed with coconut palms and along tracks in the World Heritage Listed Daintree Rainforest to swim in cool mountain streams and waterholes…and balmy tropical nights under a canopy of stars – perfect!

The Australian Outback is a dry and parched land, but add water and it puts on a brilliant display of colour…

A spectacular sunset in Outback Australia captured from Stony Hill on Pine View Station.
Pine View Station, located in the Strzelecki Desert approximately 200 kilometres north of Broken Hill, is a sheep station that borders the dingo fence in far-western New South Wales.
Fortunately the property has had some rain in the past couple of months, two-inches, and it is the first rain they have seen in four years…

This coming week we are heading out to tour this wonderful part of Australia, although the Corona Virus restrictions will limit our travel to New South Wales only…
Our plan is to meander through Western New South Wales, and then north along the border between New South Wales and South Australia.
There is so much history in the region to explore and with recent rains we expect the country will be in great shape.
Hopefully we’ll get some warmer weather…!

We love the colours of the Australian Outback, the ochre red earth touching a deep blue sky on a faraway horizon; and the fabulous coastline of our sunburnt country, where a golden sandy beach is washed over by a turquoise blue sea; and the characters you meet in a quiet country pub, where it is nothing flash, but you are enriched by the encounter…

A few weeks back I was wandering around in the Outback enjoying the big sky country when I snapped this shot along the old Cobb & Co Coach Route between Broken Hill and White Cliffs.
Taken nearby to the old Rockholes Hotel, a refreshment point for travellers along the dusty route in days long gone but little more than rubble these days, I just laid back in the red dust and closed my eyes.
In an instant I was transported to another time, lost forever!
Strewth, you just wouldn’t be caught dead for quids, hey!
