Tyres on the Hilux
The hilux was gifted with a new set of tyres a while ago. I took some photos of the old set anticipating to write an article on how they fared but never got […]
The New Guy
It’s been a while between blog posts, and since the last post we’ve pumped out a new guy. Here he is on his first camp: Don’t worry, all the photos displayed here […]
Yeagarup Beach Camp

Salmon Fishing Camps
Our trip across the Nullarbor to South Australia and Melbourne is over and we’re back home. Now what? Rat race? No way. How about fixing the house up interspersed with camping trips and […]
From the Nullarbor back Home
By the time we hit Ceduna Sharni was practically crowning and ready to bust out our second kid. She was ready to go home so it was a fairly swift trip across […]
Yorke and Eyre Peninsulas

Nullarbor, Twilight Cove and Eyre Bird Observatory
From Perth we embarked on our adventure, first stopping in Merredin for a night, then a few days in Kalgoorlie visiting family. Brimming with fuel, water and food ready for our cross […]
Vehicle prep for big trip
We’re heading off on an expedition to Melbourne and back but there’s a few things on the ol’ girl that need to be addressed: Now we’re ready to hit the road. We’re […]
Salmon Fishing Camp
Would you believe this salmon fishing trip is the first time I haven’t caught a salmon on a salmon fishing trip since 1963. You probably wouldn’t believe it, not if you knew […]
Tassie South, East and North
From Tahune Airwalk we travelled to the southeast corner of Tasmania to a camping spot called Cockel Creek. Here you can really feel your proximity to Antarctica with the wind, grey skies […]
Tahune Airwalk, First Trout
Tahune Airwalk is a big tourist attraction in Tasmania. It’s most notable for the trout I caught there! Watch out Tasmanian trout stocks, now that I’ve got my toes wet I’ll be […]
