Meningie

It’s becoming rare to find airstrips close to town centers – Meningie is one of those rare gems! The airstrip is only 2km from the town center. We hadn’t planned to stop at Meningie, and it was not a town we’d ever heard of until a few days earlier. You won’t find it featured on the front page of travel magazines, […]

Kangaroo Island

When planning what things to do on Kangaroo Island we totally underestimated how big this island was – It’s huge! It’s Australia’s third largest island after Tassie and Melville Island, NT. Over one-third of the island is a protected nature reserve which makes it a great destination to experience an abundance of native Australian Wildlife in its natural habitat. We […]

Murray Bridge

Murray Bridge was never on our list of ‘must see’ travel destinations. Our relatives had pre-planned a family House Boat Cruise on the Murray River, so a stop at Murray Bridge was added to the itinerary. As it turns out this destination goes on our list of favorites and it’s one place we’d definitely like to return to someday. While […]

Episode 10: Unexpected Flight Home

Wilpena Pound – Rawnsley Park Station

We can sum up the Wilpena Pound with only one word – Spectacular. Located in the Flinders Rangers, this natural amphitheatre provokes the imagination to conjure up 101 different ways this ‘out of place’ land formation could have come to be. Surrounded by desert, the spectacular Wilpena Pound is guaranteed to impress, especially from the air. Flying around Wilpena Pound was […]

Episode 10: Unexpected Flight Home

A tourist hotspot that only the locals know about

Unless you grew up in the northern NSW region, or are a mad keen surfer, you probably have never heard of the town ‘Angourie’. As a child, living about 40 minutes down the road this would have been one of my favourite beach locations to visit during summer. It’s a place i haven’t visited since leaving my home town well over […]

Making Aviation History: Jon Johanson and his RV4

A nurse-midwife from Adelaide is probably not the likely candidt for a world record setting aviator… but when you combine ambition, determination and a dream, anything is possible. Meet Jon Johanson, who has been named Adventurer of the Year (2004) and awarded an FAI Gold Air Medal. “Dare to dream, and never give up” Jon Johanson About Jon Johanson Jon […]

Cobar

For a town of it’s size, it is surprising what Cobar has to offer. Located right in the middle of NSW you get a taste of mining, farming, the outback, and some good old-fashioned country hospitality from the friendly locals. The tourism is primarily built on mining history, but there are a few modern attractions in the mix. Don’t miss […]
