De Mazing Adventures

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

The track opened Monday morning and after a big cheer we hit the road.  I was driving, Fred decided that it would be a good road to practice on and he was right.  With all the muddy and water sections I racked up hundreds of gear changes. Our first night Continue Reading

We’ve been back in Birdsville for 9 days now and are here for a few more yet while we wait for the Birdsville Track to open.  We could be lucky as they are assessing it again tomorrow. Unfortunately we have missed out on our desert adventure, everywhere out here is 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
