Our mission is to explore Australia one state and territory at a time, and to provide clear, useful information on places to go. We cover a heap of other information as well, but entering Victoria from South Australia brought a renewed sense of appreciation for this amazing country, and we want to share our highlights…
The Grampians National Park is a magic part of Victoria, and after staying at Smiths Mill, and Halls Gap Lakeside Tourist Park we decided to move onto something else, to see more of the amazing region. Plantation Campground is one of the Grampian National Parks most popular free camp, and for good reason. Where is…
We’re a sucker for amazing views, and don’t mind a good hike. After seeing some of the Grampians from Boroka Lookout, Sarah and I were even more excited to see more of it, and we wanted to head to the Pinnacles, which is one of two major attractions in the Grampians National Park. There’s a…
The Grampians in Victoria are truly something else, and pulling up at Boroka Lookout had me completely and utterly lost for words. The sheer beauty is like nothing I’ve ever seen in Australia before, and we could see our next destination way in the distance; Halls Gap Lakeside Tourist Park. We’d heard amazing things about…
After spending over a week in the North and East part of the Grampians, we decided to head to the more remote parts of the Grampians and see what it had to offer. Boreang Campground was our first choice, with it being easily accessible, close to a number of Grampians 4WD tracks and being suitable…
After having a truly amazing time in the Flinders Ranges in South Australia, we were excited by the prospect of seeing what Victoria would have to offer, and the Grampians seemed like another beautiful, but similar region to check out. After much looking around, we decided on spending 3 nights at Smiths Mill Campground, and…
One of the major attractions in the Grampians is Mackenzie Falls, and we’d seen a number of photos prior to arriving. We stayed at Smiths Mill Campground just down the road, and headed to the falls late one morning, after a fairly lazy start to the day. Where is Mackenzie Falls? You’ll find these in…
Victoria has not delivered a single camp site so far that we’ve been disappointed with, and our most recent stay at Glendinning Campground certainly doesn’t break that run. We had pencilled in one night, and upon arrival knew we had to stay another, as its nothing short of perfect. Keen for more amazing camp sites…
After leaving Sawpit Free Campground, we headed north towards the Grampians, and wanted to find a place along the way that we could relax at for a day or two. We’d previously highlighted Annya Campground on Wikicamps, and after stopping at the Bakery in Heywood, filling up our water tanks and hearing a local speak…
Free camps are awesome. Asides from the monetary side of things (which is hugely important when you are doing a big lap of Australia), we love them for their room, amazing views and being out of town. Of course, they aren’t always great, but after speaking to a family who recommended Sawpit Free Campground north…
After crossing into Victoria from South Australia, we were looking for places to camp over the Australia day long weekend, and wanted to lock something in so we had somewhere to stay. McLennans Punt Campground popped up as an option for one night, and looked absolutely fantastic, so we booked it in. After spending a…
After 4 amazing months exploring a huge number of great places in South Australia, it was finally time to cross the border and head into Victoria. Sarah had found a free camp that looked really good, which we decided to check out called Fort O’hare, in Dartmoor. The photos looked like it was beautiful, and…
