We were back on the dirt roads, our favourite, and our next stop was Mutawintji National Park.  We stayed at the Homestead Camping Ground and it had a great vibe about it.  Serene and relaxed, the biggest thing we had to worry about was what walk will we do.  We Continue Reading

Willow Springs Station was such a fabulous place it was sad to leave but we needed to move onto Broken Hill to prep for our week at the Mundi Mundi Bash. Our drive had us passing the Waulkaringa Gold Mine Ruins.  We drove in for a good look around and Continue Reading

Let me just start with WOW bloody WOW!  The Flinders Ranges are amazing! We left Arkaroola (Gammon Ranges) to have a few nights in the Flinders Ranges National Park.  This did not disappoint and so far would be my favourite spot of our trip.   Our first stop was Mount Continue Reading
