SkyWatch at Lake Pamamaroo OR 13 photos of the same thing … Menindee Lakes, NSW

September 1, 2011 Red Nomad OZ Lake Pamamaroo, Menindee Lakes, New South Wales, Outback, Travel

Lake Pamamaroo Sunset #1 Ever wondered what happens when an amateur photographer points an automatic film camera directly at the sun and presses the shutter? Well, wonder no more! It might be amateurish, but I kinda like it … although I would, wouldn’t I?! Yes, I’m the photographer, and this amazing sunset on the first night of my virgin visit[…]

Signs #7 – Today’s the Day!

November 23, 2010 Red Nomad OZ Queensland, Signs, Tambo

Note to overseas visitors: DON’T PANIC! This ISN’T a standard Australian road sign. In fact, it just MIGHT be the only one of its kind in Australia! Let me know if I’m wrong … Other than consistently having the coldest minimum winter temperatures in Queensland, the town of Tambo on the Matilda Way is also on the map as home of Tambo Teddies, a[…]

Why Wycliffe Well is a TOP Aussie Town, Northern Territory

April 9, 2010 Red Nomad OZ Australia, Devil's Marbles, Northern Territory, TOP Aussie Towns, Travel, UFO, Wycliffe Well

Wycliffe Well is one of several roadhouse/diner/pub/motel/caravan park/store complexes on the Stuart Highway north of Alice Springs. But Wycliffe Well is unique. Why? Because it is the self-proclaimed UFO capital of Australia – if not the world. As such, it’s worth stopping over to see if those claims are true. There was once a book in the roadhouse where visitors[…]

Freddie and the Flight over Lake Eyre! Coober Pedy, South Australia

January 23, 2022 Red Nomad OZ Coober Pedy, Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre, Lake Eyre, South Australia, Travel

I suspected it when I first saw him in the distance. Then he slipped on his super-cool aviator sunnies* and I knew it for sure. Our pilot and tour guide for the flight over Lake Eyre was a dead ringer** for Freddie Mercury! Of course looking like the Queen ex-frontman didn’t guarantee anything. But a top priority—not just for Freddie[…]

10 Beautiful Kangaroo Island Beaches

November 13, 2021 Red Nomad OZ Antechamber Bay, Beaches, Kangaroo Island, King George Beach, Penneshaw, Pennington Bay, Snellings Beach, South Australia, Stokes Bay, TOP Ten, Travel Hints and Tips, Western River Cove

Much of Kangaroo Island’s 509 kilometre-long (316 mile) coastline is rugged and rocky, with dramatic and spectacular scenery. The soaring cliffs, towering dunes, dense coastal vegetation, and rock formations that make up much of the shoreline are frequently battered by strong winds and pounding seas. And several active lighthouses scattered around the island indicate further offshore hazards. The conditions are[…]

My Top 7 Things to Do – Ormiston Gorge, Central Australia

May 6, 2021 Red Nomad OZ Central Australia, Glen Helen Gorge, Gorges, MacDonnell Ranges, Northern Territory, Ormiston Gorge, Things to do, Travel, Walks, West MacDonnell National Park

For a good time, spend a few nights at Central Australia’s Ormiston Gorge and surrounds. On our stay, we managed 6 fun-filled days (and nights)! Here’s how! A geologist’s fantasy, the long line of Central Australia’s Western MacDonnell Ranges stretches out across the desert plains from Alice Springs. It’s full of spectacular scenery, gorges, rivers, mountains and rock formations. 135[…]

London, Paris, Thargomindah - Flags at the Thargomindah Hydro Station, Outback Queensland

Things to do in Thargomindah, Outback Queensland

February 19, 2021 Red Nomad OZ Outback, Queensland, Thargomindah, TOP Aussie Towns, Travel

Thargomindah is conveniently located between Eulo and Noccundra – two other Outback Queensland localities you’ve probably never heard of. At over 1000 km (620 miles) west of Brisbane, it’s not a place you come across by chance. But there are plenty of things to do in Thargomindah. As part of the Adventure Way, a self-drive trail from Brisbane to Innamincka[…]

Best Australian Sunset Spots … and the stories that go with them!

February 6, 2021 Red Nomad OZ Australia, Australian Round Up, Australian Sunsets, Travel

The best Australian sunset spots are easy to find. Road-trip almost anywhere downunder, and sooner or later the three main conditions for a great sunset – wide open spaces, big sky and a prop (or two) – will come together. According to me, anyway. Don’t know where to find the best Australian sunset spots? No problem! Over the years I’ve[…]

The day we got to Kununurra WA started WAY too early. As the clock ticked over past midnight, Are You Lonesome Tonight and I was only 19 thundered from (respectively) the vehicle cab and the top-of-the-range caravan parked next to us in Timber Creek. Yes, you’re right. You’d have to be VERY drunk for that to sound good. A couple[…]
