Stuck in the middle with you: Part VII

Posted on 30/11/201730/11/2017by rlhydn

The amenities at Yulara were smaller than Erldunda but were clean and we enjoyed high pressure showers. Despite being in a resort, we enjoyed a quiet night with the fiery sunset still lingering, having only gained a few neighbours during our walk. I did some research and decided we would walk Kata Tjuta the following […]

Stuck in the middle with you: Part VI

Posted on 27/11/201728/11/2017by rlhydn

The road headed north out of Coober Pedy was fairly uneventful, bitumen in perfect condition with little deviation, it’s the kind that you can engage cruise control and try and take in the landscape, watching for wildlife. Not long and we had escaped the white anthills. We actually begun to encounter more traffic, nothing by […]

Food for thought

Posted on 24/11/201702/12/2018by rlhydn

My relationship with food is probably as binary as eating. I either am or I am not. So if I am cooking, I am all over it. Loving it as much as the mess I am going to hate afterwards. Aiming for over-achievement, as if there is a gold star sticker on the line. Translating this […]

Coober Pedy Sunset Sky

Need a welder in Centralia on Finke Friday? <insert a witty idiom of improbability here> Best settle for a big breakfast and even bigger coffee at the Roadhouse for a rethink. Our host at Riba’s recommended a workshop, but one of their welders had left for Port Augusta, the other for Finke. Strike one. They […]

Stuck in the middle with you: Part IV

Opal Mounds

Arriving at Coober Pedy for the first time was a mixture of surreality and anxiety. It felt like no other small outback town we had visited, every building had a temporary feel but the flaked paint and old gardens told us the they were temporarily located right where they were, in perpetuity. There were just […]

Lake Hart Macro

We had it in our mind we should check out Port Augusta, the name suggesting authority maybe? So that’s where we headed.  As it happened, we did a load of washing, bought some groceries and kept driving. Now keen to leave the bigger towns in the rearview. Our heading now north, I was feeling the […]

Wollondilly River Station

Last minute write up for a last minute camp out. We caught up with Luke and Kaito from Drifta and a few other like minded Drifta fans for an inpromptu weekend stay at Wollondilly River Station, I had never visited and was excited to camp somewhere new. Wollondilly River Station is a privately run camping […]

Dimboola, VIC Campsite

Leaving Melbourne, we headed west. No particular destination although of the three westerly routes, we decided on Ballarat. A beautiful town, we had lunch and walked the streets, stretching our legs. We also picked up a windup hose for filling our tanks and jerry can. On a reel and flat like tape – it took […]

Gundagai camp ground

As a trip report goes, this will likely be filled with hindsight and a different blend of optimism then felt on the road. Being our most recent tour, a word I would choose to describe a planned circuit over the course of several weeks. Considering the how the trip panned out, I figured this one […]

DFCE 2017: crowd camping, on purpose

Posted on 11/11/201708/10/2018by rlhydn
DFCE Camp Cobark NSW

DFCE, Drifta Fans Camping Event. Camping en-mass by fans and would be fans of Drifta, a booming camping and four wheel drive equipment manufacturer based in Gloucester. We attended its debut at Camp Cobark earlier this year. Generally, my intentions for camping are one of solitary rekindling with nature. In a word (or two) not […]
