New Zealand 2019
Doubtful Sound
After landing in Christchurch we were with a group of 5 cars travelling to the Sound. We split
from the group who were visiting both islands. Doubtful Sound had been very high on our
bucket list & we weren’t disappointed.
Australia
Western Australia 2010
This is a return visit to WA. On this trip we did the Goldfields loop
including many disued towns and working mines. A feature for us was
Western Flora, a 160ac (65Ha) property at Eneabba. At the time the owner
was working with University WA and gave an enlightening presentation
and led a tour of the park.
Willandra 2006
Willandra was an early trip on our own. At this stage we just had
our Toyota Camry and rented an Avan for the trip. There was some
rain and entry to the National Park was a bit dodgy but we
persisted and had a very enjoyable experience.
Ngarkat National Park SA
After a visit to the Victorian deserts it was logical to have a look at the
desert on the other side of the border, Ngarkat NP. There was a wealth
of wild flowers, the Pirtendi Walking Track, Scorpions Springs and
Naman Wells Walking Track.
Lawn Hill 2008
We had joined a 4wd group & met Rob & Anne. We decided to do a trip
to Lawn Hill & Carpentaria country. It was a memorable trip for us, not
having ventured far from Victoria. Thank you Rob & Anne for the time
we shared.
Northern Flinders - Angorichina
In the Northern Flinders Ranges there are a number of private 4wd
tracks, the most widely known of these being Skytrek at Willow Springs.
We met the Fishers of Blinman who introduced us to some other tracks,
notably Angorinchina Station. This track followed a rock strewen creek
bed. A lovely 4wd experience
Canning Stock Route
What a trip. The Heather Highway gave a a wee look at what was to
come. We travelled part of the Old Gunbarrel Highway and started the
Canning at Wiluna. We took the Tallawanna Track across to Rudal River
for a few days respite, visited Cotton Creek before rejoing the Canning
at Georgia Bore.
The Maus Haus (Avan Cruiseliner)
After years of camping it was time to lift the comfort level. We had
many fun adventures in this van. Places like: Waratah Bay, Wilsons
Promontory, Boolcoomatta, East & Wes Maconnell Ranges, Robe, Tarra
Valley & the Grand Ridge Road, Muttaburra…. the list goes on.
Escape After Covid
After years of camping it was time to lift the comfort level. We visited
Sea Lake, Lake Tyrell (to photograph the lake), Pooncarie, Wentworth
and Lake Mungo. We had planned to re-visit the Menindee Lakes but
rain closed the road.
Denniston
Denniston is an historic gold mining settlement on the west coast of New Zealand’s south
island.
