| Adelaide city tours Posted 21 Oct 2009 by Justin Francis We took a walking tour with a local guide - Chris - who showed us all the places of interest. He was a mine of information and gave us a wonderful insight into the history of Adelaide, the important buildings and museums. He also showed us the coolest places to get a coffe and to shop. We found it a great way to quickly get our bearings in Adelaide and get an insight into the city. Chris, wh...more... |
| The most luxurious hotel in the world Posted 18 Oct 2009 by Justin Francis  I work in travel, and have been lucky enough to stay at some really stunning places - but the Southern Ocean Lodge really takes the biscuit!the views as you walk in will take your breath away - ocean to one side, wild bush to ther others - and not a building in sight. If its a really special occasion then the Southern Ocean Lodge is a place that you will never forget. Their environmental c...more... |
| Kangaroo Island highlights Posted 18 Oct 2009 by Justin Francis  Kangaroo Island (over 100km long and 50km wide) is a short flight south from Adelaide.

| Rawnsley Park Station, Flinders Range Posted 18 Oct 2009 by Justin Francis  Rawnsley Park is a 60,000 acre working sheep (Merino) station in the Flinders.

| Prairie Outback hotel Posted 18 Oct 2009 by Justin Francis  This is the quintissential outback bar and hotel. Depending on the time of your visit you are just as likely to find the bar full of local cowboys as tourists.

There are some really nice rooms at the back, I was pleased to see how eco they are too. Book th...more... |
| Flinders National Park Posted 18 Oct 2009 by Justin Francis  The Flinders National Park is a paradise for those who love to walk, the hills are ancient (some of the oldest rocks in the world dating to 550 million years) and the scenery quite stunning. We drove through the Brachnia Gorge and drove high into the hills to look at views over Wilpena Pound - a formation of rocks that's encloses an areas of land (used for grazing in the past) in the centre. ...more... |
| Wadlata Outback Museum at Port Augusta Posted 18 Oct 2009 by Justin Francis  This is one of the best museums we visited anywhere in Australia. Its particular strength is around the history of outback life, there are some very good exhibits. Really this is a must for anybody heading into the outback.. We especially enjoyed the old Ghan railway carriage - what a beautfully designed thing it is, memories from when travel really was a luxury, and this one of this most lu...more... |
