A guide to the Gibb River Road, WA
It was finally time to put the troopy through its first extended off-road adventure, the renowned Gibb River Road. Our first tip for travelling the Gibb, is that if you are entering from the West, we advise stocking up in Broome rather than Derby. We took the second option and the Woolworths was very poorly…

Karijini, WA
It was time to head inland after almost a month on the coast and we were excited, as we had heard good things about Karijini National Park! Leaving Exmouth, we missed out on staying at the renowned Buralla Station, as it was fully booked. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as there…

Quobba Station, WA
Leaving Shark Bay, we were again reminded of how bloody big WA is when we put Carnarvon, our next spot into maps and the hours of driving ahead of us became real! We managed to survive the drive and Lauren had an interesting experience navigating the shopping centre in the chaos that is Carnarvon! Surviving…

Geraldton, WA
Although our time on the farm in the beautiful Chapman Valley has ended, I thought I would do a post to recap on our more than eventful time! So, we originally came to the farm to farm sit while the farmer, Dan was away seeding his wheat crop. He offered us free accommodation in a…

Lucky Bay, WA
After making our way up the coast from Sandy Cape, we decided to make use of the time before Lauren was to start work at the Geraldton Hospital and go for a camping adventure. After doing some research and of course consulting the instagram gods, we decided Lucky Bay, halfway between Geraldton and Kalbarri was…

Esperance Region
After making it across the desert and scrub of the Nullarbor, you better believe it was a relief when the scenery changed to the blue water and white sandy beaches of Esperance! We had booked an Airbnb to treat ourselves after roughing it since leaving Adelaide, but for our first night we decided on a…

The Nullarbor
Well, it was finally time. Time to tackle the dreaded Nullarbor with two people who don’t generally love long non-scenic drives… Firstly, the whole planning of the drive was complicated, as we had to figure out where to camp and where to fill up diesel. The second point being the most important, as I’m not…

Eyre Peninsula
Moving on from windy Port Lincoln, we drove in search of warmer and better weather in the lovely town of Coffin Bay, a 45 minute drive up the road. We had booked a campsite in the Coffin Bay National Park called Black Springs and we were in for a challenge, as it was 15km of…

Adelaide-Port Lincoln
Once done with the Great Ocean Road, we spent a hectic week and a half back home in Adelaide. Even though it had only been around a month since we had left, we had been missing home a little and especially the doggos. I think both sets of parents had also been missing us and…

The Great Ocean Road (and Lameroo)
Back at it again with the close together posts. No chance that it will continue, but here we go. Well, we managed to survive the boat ride back and we were now into an arguably more dangerous situation of driving a troopy through Melbourne… We did however manage to catch up with Alex, one of…
