Kangaroo Island

We travelled with our 11-year-old Kidsetter and friends to Kangaroo Island.  We had heard many great things about Kangaroo Island, and we were hoping that it wouldn’t disappoint.  We were only visiting the island for a day, so we wanted to make the most of our time.  We drove from the main town in Kangaroo […]

The Great Australian Bight !

We were driving the Nullabor road from Melbourne to Perth with our 9-year-old Kidsetter and dog in tow.  We stopped and explored the Head of Bight visitor’s centre. A lovely lady welcomed us and very sweetly minded our dog so we could enter the Head of Bight. Moments later we walked down the zig zagged […]

Eyre Peninsula !

We drove from Port Augusta to Ceduna with our 9-year-old Kidsetter and dog in tow.  We passed through some iconic country locations during the journey.  The first being Kimba.  Known for being the gateway into the Gawler Ranges, we only made a pit stop at the infamous Big Galah to top up on supplies. More […]

Mount Remarkable !

We travelled to Mount Remarkable National Park Alligator Gorge, part of the Southern Flinders Ranges within South Australia with our 9-year-old Kidsetter.  As we were staying in Port Pirie the national park was only a 45-minute drive north. Mount Remarkable National Park is defined by rugged mountain ranges, dramatic gorges, steep vegetated valleys, and exposed […]

Port Augusta !

Port Pirie !

The city’s economy is driven by the […]

Melrose, was officially proclaimed in 1853 and is the oldest town in the Flinders Ranges.  This quiet and attractive town, which is nestled below Mount Remarkable, has had a colourful history characterised […]

Clare Valley !

We travelled to Clare Valley in South Australia with our 9-year-old Kidsetter.  Only a 2-hour drive from Adelaide, we based ourselves at the charming Clare Country Club which is nestled amongst beautiful rolling hills within the Clare Valley wine region.  Immediately our Kidsetter made a bee line for the Country Club’s pool !  A fast […]

Historic Hahndorf

We enjoyed a day out at Hahndorf Adelaide Hills with our 7-year-old Kidsetter, located 25 minutes from Adelaide. Strolling along Hahndorf’s historic main street is like stepping back in time.  Settled in 1839, Hahndorf is Australia’s oldest surviving German settlement and still has a strong German flavour most evident in the smallgoods outlets, bakeries, pubs, […]
