Swimmers Beach, Yorke Peninsula, South Australia

7 Days … on the Southern Yorke Peninsula, South Australia

February 14, 2011 Red Nomad OZ 7 Days in ..., Brentwood, Coobowie, Corny Point, Edithburgh, Innes National Park, Minlaton, Port Moorowie, South Australia, Stansbury, Things to do, Travel, Troubridge Island, Yorke Peninsula, Yorketown

South Australia’s Southern Yorke Peninsula (SYP) can get pretty tedious – day after ho-hum day of blue skies, mile after punishing mile of spectacular coastal scenery, more and yet more (almost) deserted beaches. Seal and dolphin watching, fishing, museums, shipwrecks, snorkelling, surfing, wildflowers, markets and country shows. A well preserved, documented – AND fascinating history. And it all comes with arguably[…]

Sunset over the Richmond River, 10 Budget Travel Tips

7 Days in … Ballina, NSW

November 1, 2010 Red Nomad OZ Bakery, Ballina, Bird watching, Byron Bay, Lennox Head, Lighthouse, National Parks, New South Wales, Richmond River, Things to do, Travel

Thank goddess for Byron Bay! The Byron tourist magnet sucks a conglomerate of backpackers, yuppies, new age-ists, surfers, whale watchers and regular local and overseas tourists into its vortex, leaving the fabulous, diverse and bakery-filled Ballina region relatively uncrowded. This is good. This 7 day teaser is only an introduction – complete with ‘bakery alerts’ – as a week isn’t[…]

Entrance to Innes National Park, Yorke Peninsula, South Australia

Favourite Place #5 – Innes National Park, Yorke Peninsula, SA

September 29, 2010 Red Nomad OZ Bird watching, Innes National Park, Inneston, National Parks, South Australia, Things to do, Travel, Wildflowers, Yorke Peninsula

It’s a mystery to me why Innes National Park (INP) isn’t on any Top 10 Australian National Parks lists. At the south-western tip of Yorke Peninsula’s ‘toe’ (you’ll see what I mean on the map) its wild and remote beauty is unique. BUT … perhaps the unparalleled coastal scenery, historic buildings, walking trails, shipwreck sites, deserted beaches, fishing, lighthouses, wildlife[…]

Favourite Place #2 – Eulo

May 18, 2010 Red Nomad OZ Eulo, Things to do, Travel

Eulo? Where’s Eulo? Click HERE for the Google map! Only 68 km west of Cunnamulla, we stopped (in true Grey Nomad style) after less than an hour on the road!! We’d seen a locally produced brochure listing Eulo attractions, and thought it deserved a look. Did it ever! How could anyone pass up the opportunity to see the site of the famous lizard[…]

View from Baldy Top Lookout, Quilpie, Outback Queensland

Why Quilpie is a TOP Aussie Town

March 24, 2010 Red Nomad OZ 7 Days in ..., Outback, Queensland, Quilpie, Things to do, TOP Aussie Towns, Travel

Spending a fun filled week in Quilpie is easy. In the photo above, this Outback Queensland opal mining town is visible way off in the distance from landmark lookout ‘Baldy Top’ just out of town. But just because it (almost) disappears into the distance from any vantage point doesn’t mean there’s nothing to do there. About 955 km (593[…]
