The Plan So much planning has gone into the next rushed trip to Rainbow Beach. The plan was to drive 4WDaus there and back, spending 2 weeks enjoying SA. This was because WA would allow us back in if we had NOT been in Qld for 2 weeks, Luckily SA would let us in from...
4 - 10 September 2021 It was certainly great to arrive at the familiar surroundings of Nambung Station. Time to rest up, catch up with friends, and do some much-needed maintenance on 4WDaus. Luckily for us, we had left our old set of tyres on Nambung Station, and so...
5 August 2021 I guess the one thing we disliked about Gunn Point was the hooning that occurred, particularly on weekends. The previous weekend a young girl was seriously injured after an accident on a quad bike. Other campers told us this was not unusual, and things...
In Memory of Bob Bliss I think one of the hardest things about growing older is the loss of loved ones from your life. Today I lost my friend Bob after a short fast decline in hospital from liver issues. I am deeply upset and saddened by his quick departure. Bob had a...
1 - 4 July 2021 We just loved Epenarra Station and with all the craziness going on in Australia it has been a welcome escape just sitting here without a care. Daily walks and rest without other people. Nice! It's also interesting to see the station staff get on with...

1 June 2021 Camped near Kulgera, the weather has been overcast. This has tested our new battery system, and we currently used more than 50% of our 300ah capacity, something we would have never previously entertained. Last night we had a few drips of rain and it was...
21 May 2021 This part of the trip, due to time restraints will be a lot quicker than we would have liked. The Tenterfield incident was 6 weeks ago and has compressed the time we have to get to the Finke Desert Race. Also with the constant threat of border closures due...
1 - 8 May 2021 With repairs still to commence on 4WDaus we headed for the Gold Coast for a change of scenery. We found a nice hotel room in the Rhapsody building with a northern view up the coast. This week we got news the repairs to 4WDaus should be finished by...
