25.01.2022 Great news. From today, travellers from South Australia, Queensland, Western Australia, the Northern Territory and the ACT will be able to enter Tasmania without quarantining. But do not make the mistake of thinking travel will be as easy as it was pre Covid.

24.01.2022 Travel is not unachievable. Infact Isolation is available in many forms. Rules do not need to be broken to still see this wonderful land., just a little imagination and smart thinking. Lets look at some camping and caravaning scenarios. BLOWERING RESERVOIR in Kosciuszko National Park.... springtime snowmelt reveals a new high altitude playground where hikers can hit the trails, and four-wheel drivers and mountain bikers reach historic cattlemen’s huts and distant waterholes. Brumbies returning to the High Country excite photographers stalking the Treeless Plains, Yarrangobilly Caves entice adventurers underground, and trout tempts travellers to nearby Blowering Reservoir. This excellent free-camping destination is found on the western edge of the national park, 17km south of Tumut. Head here to park your rig on a foreshore campsite and shake out the fishing rods. Stocked with Murray cod and golden perch, and famous for its catches of redfin and rainbow and brown trout, barely a camper comes to Blowering Reservoir without a tinnie in tow. That’s not to say there aren’t other, equally enjoyable ways to explore this substantial waterway that, when full, engulfs an area 18km long and 4km wide. There are trails to walk and wildlife to watch, and the calm waters accommodate an incongruous mix of kayakers, sailors, water-skiers and swimmers. Eastern grey kangaroos groom the reservoir’s grassy shores and the woodlands harbour noisy flocks of gang-gang cockatoos and crimson rosellas. Five free campgrounds, unrestricted stays and facilities that include toilets, picnic tables and fireplaces (no pets), make Blowering a top place to relax. Closest to Tumut, the first camp at Log Bridge Creek is a shady choice for travellers with small rigs and bushwalkers keen to explore the excellent Blowering Cliffs Walk to Blowering Falls (5km return) and the longer, tougher Warogong Sugarloaf Trail (11km return).Water-skiers favour The Pines campground for its boat ramp and shady free-range sites, while camps at Hume’s Crossing and Yachting Point cater to big rigs, and Yolde campground’s cosy bush sites suit compact campers seeking solitude. Location: Follow the Snowy Mountains Highway 17km south of Tumut. Camping: Open year-round and accessible to conventional vehicles and caravans. Fishing: Grab a NSW recreational fishing licence at www.licence.nsw.gov.au (from $7 for three days, kids fish for free). More information: www.snowymountains.com.au. thank you to withoutahitch.com.au for their amazing site and information.

24.01.2022 today's caravaning escape is the magnificent COOLAH TOPS Coveting a vast, high altitude wilderness of silvertop stringybark forests and crystal cascades, Coolah Tops National Park entices travellers west of Newcastle with great camping and top trails. From the tiny town of Coolah you must climb the Warung Plateau, which, despite its steep appearance, is entirely suitable for conventional vehicles and rigs. When you reach the top, The Barracks is a good place to base yoursel...f, providing a shady circle of spacious, caravan-friendly campsites beneath a canopy of tall eucalypts with sulphur-crested cockatoos and crimson rosellas for company. There are no time limits or fees imposed here, and facilities include fireplaces, picnic tables, a wheelchair-accessible toilet and you can get drinking water from the rainwater tank or boil up water from the small stream flowing past camp. The Barracks’ grassy, free-range camp is home to great mobs of red-necked wallabies and eastern grey kangaroos that welcome walkers returning to camp at day’s end. After dark, greater gliders can frequently be heard calling to each other.Close to camp, a vast stand of hundred-year-old giant grass trees tower 4m high. Ride or drive to the edge of the escarpment at nearby Bundella Lookout for spectacular panoramas of the Liverpool Plains and the Warrumbungles’ distant volcanic peaks. From here, the easy Mullian Track leads walkers on a 20-minute (return) stroll to The Pinnacle Lookout (900m) to stand on a knife-edge of volcanic rock and watch wedge-tailed eagles riding the thermals. Steep cliffs along the escarpment are pockmarked with deep caves up to 60m long. Further afield, the Snow Gum Walk a trail beneath the largest known species of snowgum is worth your energy, as is the short interpretive trail that leads to viewing platforms above Norfolk Falls’ 35m drop (1.1km/25mins return). Four-wheel drives can reach Bald Hill Creek and Boulder Falls, and historical Brackens Hut, a 1937 cattleman’s hut that is available for rent. Spring and autumn are said to be the best times to visit Coolah Tops. Arrive from August to October to catch the park’s silver wattles in glorious golden bloom. Location: From Newcastle, head 275km along the Golden Highway to Coolah and follow Coolah Creek Road for 30km to the east. Sections of this road are steep and unsealed but navigable by conventional vehicles and small to medium-sized rigs driven with care. Camping: Free (no pets or generators). More information: www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au. thank you to withoutahitch.com.au for their amazing site and information.

23.01.2022 This is very exciting news. Can’t wait to hear that it’s Adventures turn.

23.01.2022 the 3rd best Caravaning site in NSW is MORTON NATIONAL PARK Rising dramatically alongside New South Wales’ popular south coast, Morton National Park’s mind-blowing sandstone wilderness woos travellers with grand vistas and short walks through 200,000 hectares of colourful heathlands. In Moreton’s accessible south-east corner, three favourite bushwalking trails lead beneath towering turpentine trees and through rainforested gullies to the edge of arching escarpments etched wi...th waterfalls that drop breathlessly away. Travellers based at one of the coastal holiday parks in nearby Ulladulla can take a very scenic drive that loops alongside the Clyde River to lofty lookouts over the flattop peaks of the remote Budawang Wilderness. En route, you can wrangle bass on the Clyde River and explore the ghost town of Old Brooman, a weathered collection of old mill worker’s cottages. If a leg-stretch is in order, easy-to-reach Granite Falls demands little effort, accessed via an interpretive trail that meanders through summertime blooms of fragrant boronia and banksia. Spot the historical tin mining shafts and enormous stumps of turpentine trees en route. At trail’s end, Wandandian Creek appears suddenly, lurching 63m over the edge of a vast stone amphitheatre. Further along Twelve Mile Road, George Boyd Lookout captures a vast vista from Lake Conjola to the coast. From here, the Rainforest Trail drops beneath the escarpment’s flaking face, skirting beneath arcing rock overhangs into a fairy garden of glossy ferns and chiselled, lichen-covered cliffs (30-40 minutes return). The trek to Mount Bushwalker is a more challenging affair (7km return) that rewards with dramatic views of Shrouded Gods Mountain, the Castle and Pigeon House Mountain. This collection of prominent peaks got their distinguished names courtesy of Captain James Cook on April 22 1770, and they have been impressing visitors ever since. Location: Morton National Park stretches west of the Princes Highway between Ulladulla and Nowra. Camping: The private campground at Shallow Crossing on the lower reaches of the Clyde River charges modest fees and there’s a good choice of holiday parks on the coast between Ulladulla and Nowra.

20.01.2022 Some VERY exciting news.

19.01.2022 Karri forest is a tall open forest type dominated by Eucalyptus diversicolor (karri), one of the tallest hardwoods in the world. Karri forest occurs only in the south-west corner of the Southwest Botanical Province of Western Australia, in the Warren biogeographic region. From the 1880s onward, karri forest supported timber and firewood industries when access to the forest was improved by a network of the state's railway lines. Small settlements such as Karridale, Deanmill and Pemberton were established around timber mills, and have since become centres for regional tourism. Some of the remaining areas of karri forest are now protected in reserves such as Brockman National Park, Warren National Park, Beedelup National Park, and Gloucester National Park.

17.01.2022 Dove Lake, Cradle Mountain and Barn Bluff

16.01.2022 I feel like we are a part of this little ones life, as we were one of the last ships to sail into Tauranga. Such a beautiful gesture from the New Zealand people. If I were to suggest a name for her it would be Manawa Ora, meaning Breath of Life or Hope...

16.01.2022 Being a Tassie specialist means that I can share some of the wonders that this gorgeous state has to offer, and even move amazing travel deals. This is the first in my Tasmanian Adventure, and each day i would like to introduce you to some of what Tasmania has to offer. We cant travel the world, but we have incredible scenery and people right here at home. Get out there and find your adventure... Cant wait to get down there and explore the place in the very near future.

15.01.2022 Kerid Crater Lake in Iceland, known as "The eye of the world"

14.01.2022 Australia's Coral coast Situated at the northern gateway to the Ningaloo Coast World Heritage Area, Exmouth is the perfect base to explore the grandiose landscapes of the Cape Range National Park and the underwater wonders of the Ningaloo Marine Park. Visitors come from around the world to swim with the awe-inspiring gentle giants of the sea - the whale sharks, manta rays and humpback whales. If Coral Bay's strengths are the water then Exmouth is really about the Range and th...e Reef - a National Park that abuts a Marine Park, wrapped up in a UNESCO World Heritage listing based on both marine and terrestrial (land) based qualities that need to be preserved. Ningaloo Reef, the largest fringing reef in Australia, sits just a short drive from Exmouth town, making it the must-see destination for keen divers and snorkellers. Home of one of the world's top ten shore dive the Exmouth Navy Pier is referred to as the aquarium without glass. Here divers will see more species fish in one site than possibly in their entire diving life. The Ningaloo Coast World Heritage Area is Australia's largest fringing reef system, stretching 300kms from Red Bluff north of Carnarvon to the Muiron Islands off the coast of Exmouth. To add to this list of acknowledgements, Ningaloo is also Australia’s newest Hope Spot - Ningaloo Coast and Exmouth Gulf, with the region now home to 2 of the 6 Australian Hope Spots, being global locations considered critical to the health of the ocean. The world heritage-listed Ningaloo Reef and adjacent Exmouth Gulf were designated as having global significance, and together have been cited a Hope Spot by international marine science organisation Mission Blue, which is run by legendary oceanographer Dr Sylvia Earle. Covering more than 50,000 hectares, the ruggedly beautiful Cape Range National Park features breathtaking canyons, limestone ranges and 50 kilometres of unspoiled coastline as well as stunning Yardie Creek. Wildlife such as emus, wallaroos, red kangaroos, dingoes, echidnas and a variety of birds and reptiles are sighted daily. The park comes alive with wildflowers in winter and boasts 630 species of plants and wildflowers (including 12 endemic and six near endemic species) with the Sturt desert pea and green bird flower as highlights. Camping sites within the National Park are available for a small fee, all of which can be pre-booked online via the Parks & Wildlife website with pre-booking encouraged to avoid disappointment. Please drive slowly at dawn and dusk when native wildlife, particularly kangaroos, are most active.

14.01.2022 South Australia SEE IT TO BELIEVE IT. Listen to the whistling sounds of South Australia’s ancient rugged outback. Feel the world drift away as you dive to the depths of a crystal-clear sinkhole. Submerge yourself in a shark cage and feel the adrenaline of coming face-to-face with an apex predator. Taste the tannins of a bold Shiraz straight from the barrel. And feel the excitement of wading through the shallows to shuck freshly plucked oysters for your lunch. You’ll only eve...r believe it when you hear it, taste it, see it. Start planning. https://southaustralia.com/
