It was time to hit the road, Birdsville bound for the Big Red Bash.  Our convoy of two is now three with Gary and Kelvin joining us.   Tonight saw us camping at Toompine Pub.  Perhaps Cunnamulla didn’t  want us to leave as the weather turned and it began crying Continue Reading

In the last blog I said I would elaborate on the Eulo Mud Baths.  The quirky experience is different from your typical hot springs.  We found it in Eulo and the place itself has heaps of character with plenty to look at. There are lots of options, single bathing, group Continue Reading

We woke to a chilly morning, 2 degrees but with pure blue skies and no wind, it was lovely in the sun.  We were heading a huge 100kms today, our destination being Condamine.  We weren’t in a hurry to leave and Gilly took us on a walking tour of his Continue Reading

We hit the road, Saturday 1st June 2024.  I finished work on the Friday and we plan to be away for around 4 months.  We have a trip planned that will take us back to the Simpson Dessert, visit the Flinders Ranges for the first time, go bashing at the Continue Reading

It’s so bloody exciting, we hit the road this Saturday 1st June for a 4 month adventure.  We will be bashing, visiting the desert again, hitting up the Flinders Ranges, visiting where Mad Max was made and more.  Unlike our previous travels, neither of us will be working this time Continue Reading

Well as you can tell from the blog title, I’m a bit stoked as we got our internal fit out in this weekend.  It’s looks great and I’m happy to report that the bike box doesn’t look monstrous at all, (was I concerned, maybe a little lol) and the big Continue Reading
