The Old Barn Paddock – A Must Stay Campground!
The Old Barn Paddock is a must-stay campground near Hobart, Tasmania. Named after the very old barn that Callum and Natalie have painstakingly transformed into a superbly rustic function venue. Don’t miss this beautiful spot!
Mutonia Sculpture Park, Oodnadatta Track, SA
Is this the most bizarre park in Australia? It used to be a railway siding on the Old Ghan line. But no trains live here any more. Nope – this is all about planes. And a bus, a car, a windmill, a dragonfly … ok. It has lots of stuff – just no trains that we could see.

The coastline between Sydney and the Sunshine Coast is incredible! Here are a few of our favourite holiday destinations. Happy exploring and safe travels!
Crocodile Harry – Coober Pedy’s Hugh Hefner!

Riverina Hotel Free Camp, Holbrook NSW
We ended up doing 600km from The Great Ocean Road to Holbrook and flicked open wiki to find somewhere close by. This free camp popped up and the reviews looked good so we thought we’d give it a go. We always enjoy pub camping; chatting to and having a beer with the...
We Loved the Historical Anchor Stampers in Lottah, Tasmania
A short walk in the Blue Tier on Tasmania’s East Coast will take you to these old rusty tin stamping machines that loom up from the forest wall, inviting you to experience a glimpse of life long gone.

Long Weekend with the Crew at Habitat Noosa

Fressingfield, Qld. A relaxing bush camp.
We loved our stay at Fressingfield! We knew it was going to be great from the minute the host, Wayne, phoned us to make sure we would be arriving at a time when he would be there to show us to our campsite. We arrived right on 1:00 and Wayne met us at the front...
Moreton Island

The Gorge, Clarence River NSW
We were so lucky to stumble across The Gorge on the Clarence River! After spending some time on the stunning white sandy beaches of the NSW North Coast, we felt it was time to head inland and swap sand and saltwater for grass and the fresh, running waters of the...
Hosanna Farmstay
Hosanna Farmstay is where we just spent the most incredible weekend. We have been once before, over 5 years ago with the kids and always said we would return. I have no idea what took us so long! We did notice a few pretty big changes this trip with the main one...
Helensvale Meet Up
Our very first ADU Meet up was at Helensvale with some absolute legends who love the outdoor lifestyle as much as we do!
Woody Head, NSW
Woody Head is one of those places you visit and start to plan your return trip within moments of setting up. It really is the perfect beach holiday spot.
White sandy beaches, rock platforms, a boat ramp, grassy areas, rain forest, shallow reef (perfect for snorkeling) and lots of kangaroos roaming around … plus awesome surfing and great fishing place Woody Head right near the top of our beach side camping list.
Kangaroo Valley and Buladelah, NSW. By Charli
The first time dad has ever been worried ... of course we're all scared to death. We were driving through a mountain range down an extremely steep, slippery road and were all scared for our lives. When mum had found what sounded like an amazing free camp on Wikicamps...
Tasmania Summer 2018

Sarah Island Tasmania
We love old stuff! And boy is Tasmania full of it 😁 An isolated penal settlement established in 1821 known today as Sarah Island was a huge hi light of the Gordon River Cruise for us. In fact, when making up our mind as to the cruise being worth both our time (which...
Return to Williamsford
This is a very special post written by my mum, Karen. In a blog post about ghost towns of Tasmania, Andy, the blogger, writes two paragraphs about Williamsford. In the first couple of lines he dubs Williamsford ‘an embarrassment, as if it was a mistake best...
The Tarkine Drive, Tasmania

Highfield House Stanley, Tasmania
Today is our first full day in the cosy coastal village of Stanley here on the North West Coast of Tasmania. The weather has been typical for a Tassie Summer with rain, strong, gusty winds and cold temperatures broken up with moments of brilliant blue sky...
The Nut, Stanley Tasmania
Driving along the windy coastal road through the misty rain we see The Nut through the low-lying clouds and it’s time to pull over, brave the wind, rain and the oncoming traffic (all 3 cars) to get ‘that’ shot. 'That' shot is meant to be a jump shot - but...
Boat Harbour Beach, Tas
Magic. This one word sums up where we are, and where we wish we could stay for more than the one night we had planned for. From the moment the ocean glimmers into view as you wind your way down the road to the minute your toes hit the cool, blue...
CSIRO Telescope Adventures
Our kids love learning, especially when it’s hands on. And for Cooper, anything ‘sciency’ is right up there on the list. So when we were planning our trip from Brisbane to Tassie and back, and the Paul Wild Observatory (home to CSIRO's Australia Telescope...
Sawn Rocks
When we were planning our trip from Brisbane down to Tasmania, there were so many factors that came into play. Of course, we wanted to spend Christmas with my family in Grindelwald, a gorgeous little Swiss Village just 15 minutes north of Launceston, but...

North Stradbroke Island
Straddie – this trip for me can be summed up in one word. SMELLY! Let’s just say Chris won’t be eating salami and sleeping in the rooftop again any time soon. It’s making my brain work overtime to gain enough oxygen to think straight so I can write! My...

I Shot Them in Their Undies!

The Outback. So Much More Than Red Sand.
Nothing says Australia quite like our outback. The open spaces that seem to stretch on forever tell the story of the exploration and development of our wide, brown land, and reflect Australia’s pioneering spirit and unique identity. We have just finished...
Hastings Point by Aylah
Hastings point is one of the best places on earth. It only takes about an hour and a half to get there from Brisbane which is great as you don't have to spend ages in the car! Do you want to know what you can do there? I'd love to tell you :)...

North Qld 2015/2016
We have travelled to north for Christmas 3 years in a row now. Why? Because we LOVE IT! The rest of Australia (and most tourists) tend to steer clear of North Queensland and it’s ‘scorching summer heat’, while we embrace the heat, the availability of sites...
