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.

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.

Blog: Travels with a Nine Year Old - 3 December 2010
[tweetmeme source=”@mummy_t” only_single=false]Like a lot of Londoners, I’ve always taken a sort of lugubrious, self-hating pride in coming from one of the world’s most expensive cities (third in 2008, seventeenth...

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.

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.

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 [...]

South Australia: Port Elliot
Blog: Pommie Travels - 8 August 2010
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 [...]

South Australia, Ocean to Outback
Blog: Pommie Travels - 31 July 2010
Trent & I made the mission to Glenelg, known as the Bondi of Adelaide, and spotted some wild dolphins with Temptation sailing. We hopped aboard the sailing boat and donned our wetsuits to swim with the happy sea creatures up close. Every time the crew shouted “Swimmers ready!” we had to lower ourselves into the water [...]

During our trip filming for Vantastic Adventures, Trent and I stopped in Robe, South Australia. We crossed the South Australia border and left Geoff the Van in the parking lot to stay in an 1880s manor house in Robe. This YHA was the best we’ve ever stayed in. Lakeside Manor has a TV room which used [...]

Seal Bay: www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKiTU-Mo0SA EXPERIENCE: MUST DO! PRICE: $$ LEVEL OF DIFFICULTY: ZERO! Everyone’s opinion is different, but if you ask me, Seal Bay was the coolest part of Kangaroo Island. Definitely take the guided walk, which will run you about $28 AUD, but totally worth it.

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. We walked from our hostel to the [...]

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.

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.***
