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 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 […]

Weekend: Brindabella National Park

Posted on 10/10/201810/10/2018by rlhydn

It was my birthday, and I was in the mood for finding somewhere new, and in low range. A few hours south of Sydney, or a stone’s throw from Canberra; Brindabella National Park looms, ready for the explorer and escapist alike. After a sleep in, and cafe breakfast, we slowly packed the LandCruiser and pointed […]

Weekend: Yadboro Flats, Pidgeon House, Hyams Beach

Posted on 10/08/201810/08/2018by rlhydn

Claim a beachfront bush camp on the south coast. Our mission; Friday night Impossible. That’s how we ended up at Yaboro Flats camping area, for a humid, but unplugged weekend away. We have camped at Yadboro Flats before, so after finding the beach well and truly occupied we turned tail and headed west. A large […]

Review: Southern Cross Canvas Enclosed Swag

Posted on 04/07/201823/08/2018by rlhydn

Camping (noun) Drive somewhere far from home and electricity, look for nature and build a temporary shelter. Cook on a folding table, or the ground. Sleep on the aforementioned ground, unwashed and wake with the sun.  A glorious, overnight picnic with a sliding scale of comfort. If we’re unfolding the Oztent in the bush, a few […]

DFCE 2018 – Campfires and Community

Posted on 25/05/201808/10/2018by rlhydn

After the successful debut and fine weather of the Drifta Fan Camping Event (DFCE) 2017, we were quick to order our tickets for #DFCE2018. This time, scheduled for the beautiful Camp Cobark in May. The promise of fighting off the Barrington chill with a squadron of fire pits was as alluring as last time. The […]

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 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 […]
