Memory Lane: Interior Motives (Part 5)

Posted on 17/06/201917/06/2019by rlhydn

Heading down the main street of Birdsville, my tastebuds already anticipating a fresh pastry and maybe, if we’re lucky, an espresso. After a precursory lap, we parked back at the Birdsville Bakery and made our way inside. It’s not until you venture inside a building that you begin to notice how grimy you’ve become. Three […]

Memory Lane: Interior Motives (Part 4)

Posted on 18/05/201918/05/2019by rlhydn

Backtracking from Mt Dare, it wasn’t long before we found fresh track. We were now heading to Dalhousie Springs. The track shortly deteriorated and our pace slowed. It was as good, or bad, as promised. Water and the lack of, caused great cracks and softness. Coupled with the hard gibbers and corrugations, it was wonderfully […]

Memory Lane: Interior Motives (Part 3)

Posted on 19/03/201919/03/2019by rlhydn

After an obligatory photo at the Road Conditions sign, we were off. The famed Oodnadatta Track open before us. Progress was stilted. This track is, without a better word, littered with memorabilia. From the sentimental to the strange. Railway sidings held more mystery and romance than that of the scrapyard sculptures, but then we hadn’t […]

Memory Lane: Interior Motives (Part 2)

Posted on 27/12/201819/03/2019by rlhydn

Having packed most of camp the night before, we were ready to break our Willow Springs camp fairly efficiently. Folding the Oztent under a swollen, threatening sky. Seeing the track we had taken into camp, to finish Skytrek, poking up into the clouds brought a smile, we had rambled down there in the dark, having […]

Memory Lane: Interior Motives (Part 1)

Posted on 08/11/201819/03/2019by rlhydn

Once upon a time, we packed the LandCruiser for a three week expedition to the Interior. A lasso rather than a lap. Our Expedition would take us into the ancient and stunning country of Central Australia. Since our outback baptism, we had learned a few things. About ourselves, and how we travel. A few changes […]

Memory Lane: Finding the Dig Tree (Part III)

Posted on 22/05/2018by rlhydn

Well rested, we cooked and enjoyed pancakes with lemon and sugar. A fitting breakfast for our waterfront abode. I used a bucket to wash our clothes. Draping them on the gnarled and low branched eucalypti that afforded our shaded camp.  Stoked with our tranquil site, the area all to ourselves. We decided we would stay […]

Memory Lane: Finding the Dig Tree (Part II)

Posted on 12/04/201816/11/2018by rlhydn

The self drive tour of the Sturt National Park, NSW was a first for us in every sense. My Co-pilot reading the historical, geographical facts of the area whilst we ambled along, leaving the township for the beautiful and transfixing country surrounding. Not only were we thrown into a stunning and diverse corner of NSW […]

Memory Lane: Finding the Dig Tree (Part I)

Posted on 02/04/2018by rlhydn

You always remember your first time right? Some years ago now, we started getting a touch of the red dirt wanderlust. We had rocked and rolled up and down the local tracks and bush bashed around NSW, but we wanted to go…. out there. Initially planning a convoy with fellow explorers we began plotting a […]
