One of the most well known attractions in Mount Gambier is the Umpherston Sinkhole and Gardens. I’d seen them shared on social media hundreds of times prior to arriving, and had a pretty good idea of what to expect, but they still completely blew my mind. Nothing prepares you for the sheer size, and beauty…
We love places that allow you onto a beach easily, and were blown away by the setup that Kingston SE has. Not only do they have access to some truly magic beaches, but you can drive a 4WD onto them in many places, which means lots of people get to relax by the beach in…
It’s hard to believe that 4 months ago we left Perth in Western Australia to begin our lap around the country, but time flies when you’re having fun. We moved from Perth across into South Australia fairly quickly, and have spent the entire time exploring the coast and some of the inland spots of what…
After nearly 4 months exploring South Australia, we chose our final nights stay before heading over to Victoria, and it was a brilliant choice. Lake Leake was the destination we’d agreed on, for two nights to relax and say good bye to my folks, who’d been travelling with us for the better part of 3…
We’re not usually too fond of Rest Area’s in Australia. They’re often noisy, dusty and full of people, but on the odd occasion you stumble across a good one. After spending two nights at the Bellum Hotel camped for free, we decided it was time to move, and headed off to check out the Kromelite…
After a couple of great nights at Southend Tourist Park, we continued heading down towards the SA/Victorian border (we stopped and did Tantanoola Cave) and were keen to spend some in Mt Gambier. We looked at all of the accommodation options, and whilst the Mt Gambier Showgrounds was our first choice it was full for…
I often see questions posted about whether the Yorke Peninsula is better than the Eyre, and up until now have not been qualified to answer. That’s all changed though, after we spent more than 6 weeks exploring the Eyre Peninsula, and around 3 weeks on the Yorke Peninsula. If you only had enough time to…
After spending more than 6 weeks exploring the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia, we were super excited to see what the Yorke Peninsula had to offer, and in this post we cover the Yorke Peninsula Camping options. As usual, we tried our hardest to find the best of the best camp sites, although the weather…
After spending over a week in the Lincoln National Park, we were super excited to head to Coffin Bay National park and explore it, to see how the two compared. On our way, we spent an incredible night at Mikkira Station with the Koalas, and then rolled into Coffin Bay. With National Park passes already…
I’m not sure why, but I had high expectations of Mount Gambier, and it didn’t take long to realise that its a really spectacular place. Mount Gambier is well known for a number of attractions, with its sinkholes and Blue lakes being one of the most spectacular. Yes, there’s actually more than one Blue Lake,…
Having come from WA, we’re pretty spoilt for caves in the Margaret River region, and I’ve spent many hours exploring them on adventure tours, formal tours and self guided ones, and always loved them. When the opportunity came up to call into a cave in South Australia that is highly raved about, we couldn’t resist,…
On our final leg in South Australia from Adelaide to Mt Gambier, we stopped at some pretty good camp sites, but Southend Tourist Park takes the cake for the most surprising one, and in a great way. I actually went back to the check in office about an hour after we arrived, and we booked…
