Zoek NIET naar een slagboom of lichten Wees alert en check of er verkeersborden staan Kijk rechts, links en dan weer rechts (of is het hier omgekeerd?!) om te controleren of er een trein aankomt (Dit terwijl je 110 km/u rijdt op de autoweg) Trek een foto Geef voorrang aan de trein Herhaal bij de…

To get the most out of Tom’s “Coober Pedy Golf Membership”, which he got for his birthday, we decided to do a “small” detour (500km one-way), so he could play the 18 holes. Besides the oversized vehicles, wildlife is another challenge in remote areas. You don’t want to hit a kangaroo, emu, sheep, horse, goat,…

When tripping down under and being on the road for a long time, you don’t always feel like cooking. To have a quick bite that tastes AWESOME, we have this great recipe. Buy some “pizza-like” rolls when they are on special in Woollies($4 for 6 or $3 for 4) Park your car in the sun…

On our recent hike in Mt Remarkable National Park, we had several encounters with goannas. These large monitor lizards like to bask in the sun, and hide in the trees when humans approach. This is especially hilarious when you didn’t notice a goanna sitting next to the walking track, and the goanna didn’t notice you…

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…

We were sitting in our tent, when we saw a beautiful stumpy tailed lizard looking for a cool spot to chill around noon. Apparently, our tent is one of the best spots… Half an hour after we gently chased it away, we heard a scratching sound at the back of our tent. Not just one,…

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…
