Our summary of Tassie – Wk 3

Last one, I promise! This is the final post about our three week trip to Tasmania! Port Arthur New Year’s Day! After a relatively quiet night, and despite the grey and overcast day, we decided to head out to Port Arthur. Port Arthur was intriguing and one day I’ll read about the history a little …

Our summary of Tassie – Wk 2

They get shorter, I promise you!!! Base at New Norfolk So, in my last post, you would have seen us just finish up our Christmas sojourn to Strahan (and the comfort of a hotel room!). But of course, when on a trip like ours, it was time to get moving again. We left Strahan thinking …

A few nights at Mungo Brush

Mungo Brush was a random selection that was made after Corey had read a good review somewhere about it. On the drive over towards the coast from Gloucester we decided we should check it out. It's one of the first National Park campgrounds that we have had to book and reserve a site. After stocking up on some groceries, …

Illaroo – Funny name, stunning camp

As we headed South, we weren’t really sure where we were going to go, but we finally decided upon the Illaroo Campground which is in the Yuraygir National Park. Situated about 1km from Minnie Water (a small coastal village which consists of a general store and a Surf Livesaving clubhouse), Illaroo is one of the …

Hightailing it to Longreach

After we left Gemtree, the mission was on to make it to the coast in time for my 20 year high school reunion on the 1st October. This meant some big days of travelling simply to make the miles, but we also wanted to make sure we saw a few of the things we wanted to …

Farewell Flinders Ranges… we will return!

Warning - epic long post ahead! After nearly a week spent in the Flinders Ranges (including an extra day more than anticipated), it’s now time to move on. This is a place that we will definitely come back to although I suspect that there will be many places on our trip that we will vow …

Time to go home

And before we knew it, it was time to go home.  We had an awesome day the day before, getting out on the paddle boards and spending the afternoon out at the Woolshed Brewery with Mrs & Mr Mone who had come out for a camping adventure on Boxing Day (FYI - Mrs Mone DOES NOT …

It’s here!

So this morning I opened my eyes and woke to this: Can't beat that as the view from your bed on a Christmas morning! My SIL's parents went to a huge effort to keep the magic alive with the SIL's dad making a landing strip so Santa would know where we were! We tracked Santa the night before …
