First stop this morning was Cape Le Grande National Park. Notable for its granite rock formations and pristine white sand beaches. The first stop was Thistle Cove. Further into the park, the roads became corrugated dirt. But it was worthwhile…
Day 14 – The End of the Nullarbor and into Esperance
After another night camping out, I was finally able to finish the 90 mile straight first thing in the morning. It’s marked by a simple bend sign, but well needed after almost 150km of straight line! Although the Nullarbor doesn’t…
Day 13 – The Nullarbor Plains
The day started just as the last had ended – with the sound of the waves beating on the cliffs that make up the Southern coast of this land. I quickly packed up camp and hit the road. In several…
Day 12 – Entering the Nullarbor
That morning involved a very early start, around dawn, so as not to be noticed by locals camping out in their sports field sheds. After a quick breakfast in town (it seems food and petrol are about the only things…

Day 11 – The Flinders Ranges
Warning – lots of photos ahead! The day began with the end of the RM Williams Way, through gently rolling pasture land, with a distant promise of what was to come. There are dozens of these abandoned stone houses scattered across…
Day 10 – Escaping Adelaide

Day 9 – The Adelaide Hills
A poor nights sleep (the result of country bogans using the campground to party on once the pub had closed) turned into a beautiful day as I headed back in to Adelaide. It was time to explore what made the…
Day 8 – Back on the mainland (eventually!)
Although it was an early night, it wasn’t a particularly early morning – I was slow to get going (which would bite me later). I decided to head back to the mainland today, probably getting the lunchtime ferry to Cape…
Day 7 – Kangaroo Island Part 1
The morning started on another boat – this time they strapped the bike down so I didn’t have to stay and hang on! Then once we landed in Penneshaw it was straight back into exploring. The roads were mostly straight,…
