Jim's track - been resurfaced recently, in dry conditions it was fine, a fun drive with some short'n'sharp steep climbs and descents. Steep Track - track was in good condition, no ruts and washouts, so was fairly easy. Some steep climbs but nothing crazy.
Leaving Willow Springs, we entered the Northern phase of our trip. Our plans were looser from here, possibly a stay at Mt Freeling station off the Strzelecki track, but little information was available on that station. So we were winging it to an extent. Day 11 After a quick stop
Day 7 Today we said fairwell to Bendleby and headed for our next station stay at Willow Springs, on the main drag of the Flinders ranges around the Ikara Flinders National Park. But first, a pub lunch at the remote Cradock Hotel. On route, Rob had a lucky escape with
Day 5 Waking up a little before dawn in Warren Gorge, I decided to beat the mild hangover (campfire beers had escalated a little) that would settle in if I let it, and do the walk up to the Smoke-Oh lookout before we headed off at 8am. The woodlands around
Day 3 Another big day of driving ahead, we set out from Lake Bonney for Port Germain at 8am. The landscape changed dramatically as we traded the red sands along the Murray river for lush green south Australian coast line. Impressive fields of agriculture once again dominated the landscape..but

Straight roads that gradually became narrower and narrower, until we arrived at Wyperfeld.

For years, I've been itching to go look at some damn snow. The last time I saw it up close I was 5 years old, which may as well be a different lifetime. So when Club 4x4 announced their snow trip up Mt Skene, I booked immediately. Mt
Plenty of rain = plenty of mushrooms 🍄
This was an amazing hike I did back in 2024, my first solo overnight hike. The Bluff walking track isnt particularly long - the climb to the top, and walk back down via Bluff Link rd could be done in a day, but I wanted to take my time and
Finally! I went with a DJI Flip, and I'm already quite glad I got something with protected props as I've crashed it a few times. 😅 Super impressed with the picture quality. Of course it's not on par with my "real" cameras, but
Camping on the Goulburn river around Murchison, I was stoked to see Sacred Kingfishers for the first time. Loads of them! They're so much smaller than I realised, very difficult to photograph! I really enjoy the head/beak to body size ratio on these little guys 😂
