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.

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.

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.
