A Quick Tour of Our Caravan

So now that we’ve been on the road for many months, maybe it’s time for a tour of the inside of our caravan!  We have a Bailey Pegasus Ancona, it’s a European six-berth on-road van.  It’s lightweight, we could tow it with the car we already owned.  It was made in the UK to be sold in Australia which means it is made to Aussie standards.  So yes, we even have Aussie plugs inside!  Those who buy their European vans … Read More

A Quick Swim in Bitter Springs

On our way to Katherine we made a quick stop near Mataranka to swim in the Bitter Springs.  It’s just off the main highway and it’s such a lovely place.  The water is so clear and the perfect temperature.  You hop in at one end and let the springs carry you to the other end.  You can hop back out and walk up the trail or you can try your luck at swimming against the current.  I have more pictures … Read More

The Devil’s Marbles – Karlu Karlu

If you drive the Stuart Highway you literally can’t miss the Devil’s Marbles since the highway cuts right through them.  When we drove south after our stay in Tennant Creek we oooh’d and ahhh’d at the sight and made plans to stop here on our way back north.  I really had my heart set on camping here for a night because the sunset hitting these rocks is supposed to be beautiful.  During peak season this campground fills by early afternoon.  … Read More

Road Tripping: Alice Springs

Between Yulara and Alice Springs we stopped in Erldunda to refuel.  There’s supposed to be a Big Thing there, a Big Echidna.  When I asked about it at the petrol station they had no clue what I was talking about at first.  Finally they realised what I was asking about and they told me it had been ruined by mice and the like.  It used to be where their emu farm is now.  We were happy to see the emus.  … Read More

Flynn’s Grave

Our last stop during our visit to the MacDonnell Ranges was a quick one.  Close to Alice Springs is John Flynn’s grave.  He’s the man who started the Royal Flying Doctor’s Service.  We’d just visited the RFDS tourist facility, so the name was fresh in our minds.  When John Flynn was 70 he climbed Mt Gillen (see it in the background?) and declared he wanted to be buried here.  This spot is about 15km west of Alice Springs.  (Look at … Read More

Simpson’s Gap

After our walk at Standley Chasm we made our way to Simpson’s Gap.  The MacDonnell Ranges are a nice backdrop as you drive along.  So many lovely gorges hiding in there! Every so often we see these roadsigns that have been added to in a lovely fashion.  :)  They nearly look like they were designed this way! During the dry season you can walk down the riverbed.  It’s full of sand, on a warm day that sand is very hot … Read More
