In a country that doesn’t know the meaning of small, the Desert of the Nullarbor Plains is a prime example of how vast this land is. Nullarbor means no trees; affectionately dubbed the Nullar-boring. Stretching 1, 200 km at its widest and spanning 200, 000 square kilometres, it is the world’s largest expanse of limestone.…
Sightseeing and travel are fun activities but what do we do when we stop? How do we spend our time when we’re not driving between towns or attractions? Reading and Audio Books Books are a favourite with both Basil and I. While Basil reads physical books my preference is digital and there are a number…
For three nights we camped at the Sporties Club at Tuncurry a perfect spot from which to explore the twin towns of Forster Tuncurry, mid-east coast of New South Wales. So we’re back in what had been our home state since 2003 to visit friends on our way south. The accompanying photos were taken as…
