We are embracing retirement, and making the most of it.

We knew we were never going to sit still for long, so whilst we are happy and healthy we will be out and about seeing the world………… full time.

We are out of the fast lane and taking the slow road ahead

Nullabor News

We were pleasantly surprised by our 4 day trip across the Nullabor. 






Lots to see, not much “Nullabor” as in “Tree Less”, not flat, sea views, beach, sand dunes, few wildlife, barely any road kill - 3 kangaroos in 4 days, winds behind us, average 23°C, tons of great free camps, and enough geocaches to find to take us off track and into the bush.

The signs




Windmill museum, Australia’s largest windmill, one of 12 originally.


As close as we were going to get to the other end of the dog proof fence....30km down this road, then it drops off a cliff, the road is rough and not suitable for the caravan


End of fence. Not my photo


Bunda Cliffs camp spot for a night...awesome and hard to beat, only 6 of us this night, and the most magical stary night we have ever experienced




Occasional crossing..haa for the Royal Flying Doctors, use highway as landing strip, but couldn’t resist


The beach, old telegraph station getting swallowed up by sand dunes, and evidently a fabulous fishing spot we were told by one caravanning couple parked up for a few days in the lower photos


The gnomes by one camp spot


The geocaching




The random piece of Skylab space station which landed near Balladonia in 1979


Ever changing landscape




The odd road works


And 10km of evidence of the recent bush fire which closed the highway for a week in February


This awesome shell embedded....couldn’t get it out without excavating


And the odd van maintenance after we lost our ensuite dome due to weathering




History was in abundance, by the way no camels, wombats or emus this time. Definitely do it again
