If you can get onto a beach by 4WD, we’re always keen, and over Christmas and New Years we stayed in Victor Harbor on the front lawn of a families place, which meant it was just a hop, skip and a jump to Goolwa. What made it even more special though, was that the Murray…
After spending a number of days in Victor Harbor relaxing and catching up with relatives, we headed across to Granite Island, and had a really enjoyable couple of hours. This is one of the more well known attractions in Victor Harbor, and for good reason. The other big attraction is the Victor Harbor Steam train,…
If you’re looking for a great wildlife park to take the kids just out of Victor Harbor, the Urimbirra Wildlife Park is absolutely worth a look. We make a habit of picking up all of the tourist brochures whenever we can, and our kids have started flicking through them as well. Oliver picked up the…
After finishing the Eyre Peninsula and Yorke Peninsula, we were headed towards Victor Harbour to stay with family for Christmas, but needed somewhere to stop on the way as we had a few days up our sleeve. Sarah stumbled across Pink Gum Campground in the Onkaparinga River National Park, and we agreed to call in…
The Flinders Ranges are very well known for their 4WD tracks, and people come from all over the country to explore them. We’ve just had a truly amazing time exploring a number of places in the Flinders Ranges over 3 weeks and would go back in a heartbeat. In this post though, we cover all…
After a much quicker, and less scheduled drive to the top of the Yorke Peninsula to the Kadina Christmas Parade, we had a bit of time to kill before heading to Victor Harbour for Christmas. We’d thoroughly enjoyed Moonta Bay on our way down, and decided to leave the Kadina Showgrounds and head 15 minutes…
The Eyre Peninsula has been a pretty amazing trip, and we’re slowly coming to the end of it. After a couple of nice nights at Walkers Rock near Elliston, we packed up and continued heading north. We called in at the various attractions around Talia Cave, and debated whether to camp a night nearby or…
After a night at Parara Campground just south of Ardrossan and seeing the next week blowing from the South West and East, we decided to head down the Yorke Peninsula more quickly to the top of the boot, and spend a night or two at Burners Beach. I was getting fairly low on fuel so…
After a magic day and night at Wauraltee Beach on the West side of the Yorke Peninsula, we woke to the wind blowing up, and knew it wasn’t going to get any better on that side for almost a week, so we packed up and headed to the East side, to a nice camp site…
After a great stay at Hall Bay (except the fine sand on the last night), we were keen to find another coastal camp site further north. We called into Sheringa Beach to see if it would be any good, and despite it having great views on some of the northern camps, it wasn’t really suitable…
The Yorke Peninsula is well known for its pristine beaches, turquoise water and amazing camp sites, and we’re on a bit of a mission to find the best. As usual, the weather plays a massive role on how much you enjoy a place, and how nice it is, but the stars aligned on our stay…
If you like great coastal camp sites with everything you need for a bargain price, we’ve got another camp site in South Australia that was really good; Balgowan Campground. As it turns out, we stumbled across this purely by chance, and nearly didn’t stay at it because of my (incorrect) first impressions. We’d left late…
