  2. Photo Junket: The Nullarbor Plain, Australia

    Blog: The Travel Project - 11 July 2011

    The Nullarbor Plain appears at first to be an open wasteland, a shrine to a dead sea that once inhabited this part of the world. A place of isolation where thoughts of solitude dances with the notions of going walk-about. For this week’s photo junket I thought I’d take you on a road-trip across the Nullarbor, and for me, a trip down memory lane.

  4. Purple Water?

    Blog: 2 Wheels - 1 World - 0 Money - 18 December 2010

    Red sand, red rocks, blue oceans, blue skies and white beaches, I did anticipate in Australia, but not purple water. I swear I did not alter the colour of this image. These purple lakes just behind the South Australian coastline, not far from Adelaide are very shallow. They seem to be fed by the ocean and are tidal and I have been told that some kind of bacteria cause these very salty lakes to appear purple. Usually, bacteria causes me to go pale.

  8. Are the wild days over?

    Blog: 2 Wheels - 1 World - 0 Money - 1 November 2010

    I know, I have neglected the OE travelogue for quite some time and it’s not that Australia isn’t interesting or supplies insufficient stories to tell, but compared to the last exciting and challenging months, the fifth continent is merely and utterly…     civilised and hugely relaxing. And this is great because this is what I need right now – rest and recreation.

  9. First day in Australia

    Blog: 2 Wheels - 1 World - 0 Money - 31 October 2010

    Wow, what a change. I am suffering from a serious culture shock. After being in Asia for about a year, I am back in the western world, though this time it’s down-under. The most noticeable difference is the people–space–ratio. Australia has got soooo much space and a population no greater than twenty million. If you take only two Asian cities, for example Bangkok and Jakarta, you’ll get about the same number. I cannot describe how fantastic it feels to have this extra space.

  10. South Australia: Kangaroo Island

    Blog: Pommie Travels - 13 August 2010

    One of the most beautiful places I have been without a doubt in Australia is Kangaroo Island. Whilst I had fun in the Whitsundays and on Fraser Island, the less well-known Kangaroo Island had a much more rugged, picturesque, back-to-nature feel. Powder white sandy beaches, seals, kangaroos, rivers, sand dunes, koalas…Kangaroo Island is a naure [...]

  11. South Australia: Port Elliot

    Port Elliot is a beach resort on the Flerieu Peninsula just about an hour south of Adelaide and a great place to escape the city and enjoy the ocean. It’s a small, sleepy town with a couple of shops, pubs and a bakery but the main attraction is its beautiful white sandy beach and good [...]

  17. Day 3 & 4: Adelaide to Kangaroo Island

    Blog: Vagabond3 - 8 June 2010

    Waking up at 5:25am in Adelaide’s Shakespeare Hostel was actually easier than I thought it’d be.  We were going to Kangaroo Island, or K.I. as the locals call it, and I was so ready to feed kangaroos, walk with seals at Seal Bay and see the magnificent Admiral’s Arch.

  20. Adelaide, our base in South Australia

    Blog: nateniale { reflections on my travels and everything else I love } - 28 February 2010

    {Australia Feb/March 2009 - Day 5 - Adelaide, South Australia}  The first thing I noted about Adelaide was how deserted the roads are! It reminded me so much of Canberra where I spent around 4 years in university. The second would be the heat and the cloudless sky. We arrived in Adelaide on 25 Feb 2009, after spending four days in Sydney for business. Adelaide would be our base in between our travels to Kangaroo Island and Barossa Valley.

  22. Nude Olympics at Maslin Beach, South Australia

    Blog: Rice and Rock Concerts - 28 January 2010

    The Nude Olympics. And not in Athens, but at the beautiful Masiln Beach, just a 30 minute drive south of Adelaide. I have seen many things travelling, but sometimes the quirkiest things are in your own backyard. For some, sadly, the event hasn't been held for the last three years due to a lack of volunteers to stage it - time for intrepid travellers to help out! ***Please note there is some nudity, but it's pretty tasteful.***
