Larrikins, Landscapes and Loos! Lyndhurst South Australia

July 14, 2015 Red Nomad OZ Lyndhurst, Ochre Pits, Outback, South Australia, Strzelecki Track, Things to do, TOP Aussie Towns, Travel

Last Updated on March 18, 2019 by Red Nomad OZ If you’re passing through Lyndhurst when nature calls, you can’t miss this little Outback Beauty – it’s right on the highway next to the Lyndhurst town sign. That’s how I knew it couldn’t possibly have been there back in 2013 when I first went to Lyndhurst. So after crossing my[…]

Last Updated on May 4, 2021 by Red Nomad OZ How to get from Darwin to Broome! Whether you got to Darwin by plane, train (the Ghan), or my 7 day Road-trip from Adelaide, once you’ve seen the sights – like my TOP TEN things to do in Darwin – you’ll eventually have to leave. But if you’ve got another[…]

Last Updated on May 4, 2021 by Red Nomad OZ Sooner or later, most travellers in Australia will reach the great cross-roads at the head of Spencer Gulf that is Port Augusta. North is the Stuart Highway to the Northern Territory. West is the Eyre Highway across the Nullarbor to West OZ. East is the Barrier Highway to Broken Hill[…]

Darke Peak and the True Blue Two Loo View!

June 13, 2015 Red Nomad OZ Australiana, Darke Peak, Eyre Peninsula, Scenic Public Toilets, South Australia, Things to do, Travel

Last Updated on November 10, 2015 by Red Nomad OZ Swinging a feral cat ANYWHERE in the middle of South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula without hitting a stony peak, hill, bluff, outcrop, mountain, cliff, dome or rock-face is almost impossible. Take the small town of Darke Peak – population 50 – for example. We’d followed the 8-peak Darke Range to the[…]

Port Clinton Sunrise, Yorke Peninsula, South Australia

Why Port Clinton is a TOP Aussie Town!

June 8, 2015 Red Nomad OZ Bird watching, Port Clinton, South Australia, Things to do, TOP Aussie Towns, Travel, Yorke Peninsula

Last Updated on March 4, 2022 by Red Nomad OZ I was once one of the many travellers who, upon driving down the eastern shore of South Australia’s Yorke Peninsula, would pass the Port Clinton turn-off without a second thought. That was my mistake. And theirs. Because it’s only 90 minutes from Adelaide, it’s a great base from which to[…]

The View from the Winehouse, Langhorne Creek, South Australia

A Wedding at the Winehouse! Langhorne Creek

June 1, 2015 Red Nomad OZ Adelaide, Fleurieu Peninsula, Langhorne Creek, South Australia, Things to do

Last Updated on March 18, 2019 by Red Nomad OZ Being a wedding photographer when your main claim to photographic fame is illustrating a book about toilets isn’t easy. There’s a world of difference between casually photographing stationary objects like scenic loos in their natural surroundings at one’s own pace; and trying to navigate a constantly moving target to capture[…]

May 23, 2015 Red Nomad OZ Bird watching, Cambridge Gulf, Five Rivers Lookout, Kimberley, Marlgu Billabong, Parrys Lagoon Nature Reserve, The Grotto, Things to do, TOP Aussie Towns, Travel, Western Australia, Wyndham

Last Updated on August 20, 2019 by Red Nomad OZ I’d only been in Wyndham a couple of hours, but I was liking it already. First up was the 20 metre (65.6 ft), grinning crocodile at the town’s entrance – the most creative way to use up 5.5 km (3.4 miles) of steel rods, 50 kg (110 lb) of welding[…]

Last Updated on May 4, 2021 by Red Nomad OZ For an isolated city, rebuilt twice after being bombed (WWII) destroyed by a tropical cyclone (1974); regularly washed by massive 7 metre tides and monsoonal floods; and hosting a high proportion of dangerous and deadly wildlife; Darwin’s looking mighty fine these days. At least to a fair-weather traveller like me[…]

Ardrossan Jetty Loo, Yorke Peninsula, South Australia

Tour the Yorke Peninsula via its BEST Scenic Loos!

April 24, 2015 Red Nomad OZ Scenic Public Toilets, South Australia, Things to do, Travel, Yorke Peninsula

Last Updated on May 26, 2019 by Red Nomad OZ Road-tripping around Australia isn’t always easy. Long distances with lots of nothing-much between attractions. Hazardous heat, dodgy roads and limited phone coverage. And – unless you’re an exhibitionist who loves squatting by the side of the road in full view – a LOT of leg-crossing between amenities! But it’s almost[…]
