Onze tent was een koopje in het begin van het jaar, maar na de vele kilometers en het vele opzetten en afbreken, begint ze beetje bij beetje af te takelen. Zo scheurt er af en toe wel eens een naad, of komt er door een stommiteit een gaatje in de buitentent. Gelukkig komt de aannemer…

Our first stop after leaving the Barossa was the Yorke Peninsula. We already visited this AWESOME place back in January, but we liked it so much, we came back for seconds! Cheap campsites, great live music, hospitable happy hours with old and new friends, (supposedly) great fishing spots, amazing wildlife, and cheap golf. What else…

We knew it would be hard to leave the Barossa. We made some amazing friends with whom we had great barbies, beautiful paté-moments, lots of fun, movie-nights and even trivia nights (still miss the ones in the Hale Road Tavern in Perth, though!). My job was fantastic! On top of that we got to enjoy…

Playing golf in the Barossa is as AWESOME as you can expect from the Barossa! Just because the Barossa is amazing. Forty kangaroos around sunset make sure that the grass is fertilized and short. They do their best to make your game unforgettable. Yes, Barossa, you did it again. It will be very hard to…

Serving gelati is quite a different job than being a vet. For instance: every client leaves with a smile on their face! Working in the gelateria/coffeeshop (no guys, stop thinking about Amsterdam!!!) is just so much fun. On my first day I had to taste all the flavors, so I am aware of what I…

One of the best things in the Barossa is having a meat platter with your favourite paté buddies around 23h. According to Tom and Josh the AWESOME homemade paté from Musque is the best they ever had! Personally I don’t really get it since I don’t eat paté. But lately I feel this paté-buddy-thing is…

After our separate trips (Claudia’s through the desert, Tom and Erwin’s on the East Coast), we were reunited in AWESOME South-South Australia, where there’s a winery around every corner! This is excellent for my dad as a wine connoisseur, and Claudia and I don’t mind a good wine tasting either 😉 We started in the…
