Postcard Views: the Breakaways

Looking like gummy bears vomited on some hills, the Breakaways conservation park near Coober Pedy is definitely worth a visit. Two hours are well spent on the stunning views. Every lookout feels like a journey into a painting where pastels rule the world. Truly AWESOME! We even saw an amazing bearded dragon, sunbathing on the side…

Gorgeous Gorges part 4: 18km of Remarkable Hiking

On our first visit to Mount Remarkable, we weren’t that impressed. We didn’t even blog about it! We were always jokingly referring to it as Mount Not-so-remarkable… how wrong we were! Looking for a cheap campground, we realized we camped on the wrong/less remarkable side of the mountain back in January. The actual National Park…

Back on the Yorke Peninsula: Chilling and Fishing

Rocking Rocks: Uluru

The Red Center is a special place. Lots of red sand and then all of a sudden the immense rocks. I know it’s just rocks, the Olga’s and Uluru, but damn, there are worse rocks to look at. Especially at sunset Uluru is breathtaking. You can climb this beautiful giant, but we preferred not to,…

King’s Canyon

Termite Mounds Part 2: Dressing up!

When you drive in the NT, you see a lot of termite mounds dressed up. Sometimes it even looks like there is someone standing in the bush, but don’t be mistaken: it’s just a dressed up termite mound! Obviously we HAD to do that as well! So after Tom’s AWESOME birthday party yesterday (we were…
