🧐Can you see us on the top of Tyler Pass? And can you see that crater behind us? Swipe to see the crater 👈🏼 that was caused by a comet ☄️ striking the earth millions of years ago. Our planet is fascinating when you take the time to explore it! 🌏
The Dreamtime story of Tnorala is a little different to that of the comet crashing to earth, blasting a crater roughly 20km across.

Legend says that while stars danced in the Milky Way, a child fell out of his cradle to earth and was lost to its parents, the morning and evening stars, who still search for their baby to this day.

😍 One of Tassie’s most beautiful free camps is this one - the King William Campground near Derwent Bridge.
It’s an epic little camp (free with a National Parks Pass) right on the river.
Access is a bit tight and our advice is if you have a large set up to walk it first to make sure you can fit/turn around) but once you’re in - the sites are wide open and waiting to welcome you 😍
You’ll find this in episode 4 of ADU TOURS TASSIE on YouTube. Link is in our bio 🙌🏼

‼️NEW YT RED CENTRE EPISODE LAUNCHES TONIGHT!‼️
Our Merida eMTB’s are the BEST exploring machines! We rode around the base of Uluru twice and loved every second of it.
We rode through the mud, stopped to check out all the beautiful waterholes that were full to the brim thanks to the recent rains, and yes, I fell off. What would a ride be without me stacking it? And yes, Chris captured it so it will be in the Uluru YouTube episode 🤦🏼‍♀️ He calls me Crash Bandicoot now! 😂

Have you been to Uluru? Did you climb it? Walk around it? Ride around it? What did you think?

👻 Arltunga would have to be the most remote ghost town we’ve taken the time to explore properly - check out the first image. I even explored inside stuff 😅
Way out in the East MacDonnell Ranges, we’ll show you all that remains of what was one of the most significant European settlements in Central Australia. That, plus Chris locks me in a cell, won’t stop playing with his new favourite toy, and smacks his head on the roof of the Joker mine 😂

We also explore the insanely, beautifully, breathtakingly huge Ruby Gap 😁🤙🏼

Annnd … we see a car with headlights coming towards us that never passes us. In the dark. Isolated. In the outback. Yes. The evil laugh and the light blue F150 jokes were flying between Greg & Chris over the UHF! Me? Well. I was a little unsettled to say the least. And then … well, you’ll have to watch and see why I freaked the heck out!! 😱 Swipe to see my ‘I’ve just seen murderers’ face 😆🤦🏼‍♀️

The next episode of ADU Goes Outback launches tonight at 7pm Melbourne time. Link to our YouTube channel is in our bio 😁

This is just one of the incredible ’rest stops’ on Namatjira Drive in the West MacDonnell Ranges (just outside Alice Springs).
Point Howard lookout is free and allows you to soak up the outback views for 24 hours before moving onto your next magnificent campsite. It even has rubbish bins - a rarity out this way😍

⛪️ When you think of a church you might picture a quiet place with a cross, stained glass windows, a baptismal & maybe even incredible architecture. What probably won’t enter your mind is an underground place of worship in the middle of the outback! 😍

As we approached in the Chevy, we thought The Church of Saint Elijah the Prophet that was built in Coober Pedy by Serbs who settled there as opal miners back in 1993, was closed. We crept up to the door and slowly peeked inside. It was open! And - there was a honesty box right beside it.
We went back to the car, grabbed our coins & made our way down the carpeted ramp through what felt like a tunnel, following the sound of low chanting.

We found ourselves alone in the most incredible place, overcome by feelings of reverence, calm and intrigue. It almost felt wrong to be there for any reason other than to worship, so I said a prayer 🙏🏼 as I walked over to the candle that was burning in a pedestal filled with sand. The crackling & popping sounds, synchronised with the dancing flame and the chanting 🕯

This church has frescoes that are cut in the rocks, not painted, and the roof resembles that of a ballroom with large scallops & a gorgeous pattern weaving its way through the sandstone. The iconostasis has been painted on the glass & is backlit. On the balcony there is what seems to be a baptismal, in the shape of a cross, set into the floor & incredibly beautiful stained glass windows. Intricate rock-wall carvings & statues of saints also adorn the church.

The whole church complex encompasses not only a church, & a church hall but also a parish house & a church school – all underground.

As we were leaving we could hear music pumping & the sounds of men laughing & chatting together so we went and said hi 😁The owners were preparing for a huge party that weekend & were stocking the bar & preparing the venue next to the church. But that’s a story for another day.

Mounds Springs aka ‘The Bubbler’ (👈🏼swipe to see it bubbling!) and Blanche Cup Mound Spring we’re such a fun stop towards the end of our Oodnadatta Track adventure😁
It felt like we were on the moon, which was not uncommon for us over the past few months!
This unique and barren looking landscape dotted with these bubbling mound springs is something everyone has to experience at least once 😍

Coward Springs is a gorgeous spot on The Oodnadatta Track in SA to spend a night or two 😍This thermal spa is 29C, much warmer than the 6C ambient temp and people have been bathing here since the Ghan began!

The campground is lovely, the museum is great and like most places out here, Coward Springs is filled with history of the Old Ghan.

Algebuckina Bridge looming outside our windows soaked in the silver light of the moon is a sight we will never forget 🌙😍 Almost as impressive as the sun setting over the Neales River behind this nearly 600 metre long bridge, made from Victorian-era wrought iron!
This is the largest single bridge in South Australia and one of the few bridges on the railways that was never impacted by floodwaters 🙌🏼
📍This mammoth piece of 19th century engineering sits on a disused railway, not far from William Creek on the Oodnadatta Track in South Australia.
Most of the Old Ghan tracks have been ripped up, but many remnants remain, and we think this one has to be the most impressive 😁

Talk about a random way to end our epic adventures along the Oodnadatta Track 🤪 ‘Rust in Peace’ … retired mechanic now artist Robin Cooke has quite the sense of humour!

This is the brilliantly weird Mutonia Sculpture Park in Alberrie Creek, 30 km west from Marree along the Oodnadatta track in South Australia. It used to be a railway siding on the Old Ghan line but no trains live here any more. Nope - this is all about planes. And a bus, a car, a windmill, a dragonfly … ok. It has lots of stuff - just no trains that we could see.

We parked up and headed off exploring the creative randomness that was all over the place. And while we were there, numerous others pulled up, had a quick look at few pieces of art near the gate then left!

What? Nooooo! Just keep walking - at least until you get to the Love Bus (named by Chris♥️). It has ‘GHAN’ HOVER BUS SERVICE painted on the side and a rabbits head, amongst other things, inside.

Plane Henge (2 planes plonked on their tales), the Time Tree, a Windmill Flower, a lady bug, and plenty of other artistic bizarreness is waiting for you when you head off on your own Oodnadatta adventure! 👋🏼😁

How we shed those few pesky kilos during lock down without exercising including a 7 day menu plan! 🙌🏼 (and … we ate crepes every day!)

OK, so we don’t actually know how many kilos we’ve lost during lock downs as we don’t carry scales with us, but what we know we have lost are a few double chins, a couple of muffins tops, some back blubber and the bad moods from being ‘frumpy’ 😅

We have been on the road full time since October 2020 and keeping on top of the healthy lifestyle has been challenging, but, with a little pre-planning you can keep on top of it! 😁🙌🏼

Check out how we did it - link to BLOG in bio 👍🏼

On a side note - how good is Chris’s hair these days? Not a hair cut since we left the Gold Coast (swipe 👈🏼) 😂

You guys all know we love our Alucab rooftop tent ♥️ Well, have we got a surprise for you! 👏🏼👏🏼

👈🏼Swipe to see the preview video 📹 😁

You wouldn’t believe what pulled up beside us when we were at Chambers Pillar, in the middle of the Northern Territory!

It wasn’t just your average Alucab rooftop tent - no - it was the full Canopy Camper set up!! These are super rare in Australia! 🤩

James and Sam, who are Iron Man 4x4 and Alucab dealers in Moree, gave us the full run down of their full set up from kitchen to canopy to shower cube 🚿 James is an absolute character!!

Chambers Pillar - what an incredible place, made even more incredible because someone we know told us their ancestors names were engraved right on it! 😯
We were ready for a treasure hunt, but didn’t have to look far to find the names William and Mary Hayes 😁
They came to Australia in 1884 and took up land in Deep Well. Our mate Richie is one of the descendants mentioned on the info board (swipe to see). How cool is that??

The Dreamtime story behind Chambers Pillar and Castle Rock is also intriguing. The Kukatja-Luritja believe that The Pillar is the Gecko ancestor, Itirkawara, who was exiled for disregarding strict marriage rules and taking a wife from the wrong skin group. They both retreated into the desert, and when they stopped to rest, turned into prominent rocky formations - Itirkawara into The Pillar which towers 50
metres above the plain, and the woman into Castle Rock, found just 500m to the north-east.

And there you have it! It’s more than just a pretty place 😁

We stayed the night in the @alucab at The Pillar Campground which was awesome! We woke up to the heaviest fog we’ve seen in ages. We’d set our alarm for sunrise which wasn’t exactly what we expected, but still stunning 😍

Have you been to special places made even more special with a story? ☺️👇🏼

We’ve never felt so centred … 😂🙌🏼
We’ve been to the geographical centres of Tassie & Queensland and have just ticked off the ACTUAL centre of the entire country!
I guess we have a few more states and territories to tick off yet ✔️✔️✔️
Have you been to any ‘geographical centres’? Were they as underwhelming as this lonely flagpole without a flag? 😆

We woke up at 4:00 and braved the freezing temperatures of the winter outback … and it was so worth it to see The Field of Light at Uluru … and then the sun rise up and light up the rock!

Sure it’s a ‘touristy’ thing to do … but seeing other people’s photos and videos of these colour changing lights just isn’t the same as the wandering through the fantasy-like fields and then drinking your morning coffee as the sun comes up over Uluru. I may have enjoyed it a little more than Chris … but even he admitted he liked it 😅

I’m so glad that what was meant to be a temporary display of 50,000 spindles covering more than seven football fields is now lighting up the outback indefinitely 😍 Bruce Munro - we thank you! Your artwork is breathtakingly beautiful.

Tick tick off the bucket list ✅✅😁 Is this on your list? Have you been? Let us know what you think!!👇🏼

The Pound Walk at Ormiston Gorge ( West MacDonnell Ranges) has to be one of our fav walks ever!! 😍 Chris isn’t a huge fan of walks, but even he was raving about this one. It took us under 3 hours and was just spectacular! Towards the end you have to wade through water so cold it makes your toes numb … and then burn!! 🥶 Swipe to see my reaction and Chris’s fantastic hairdo 😂😂

SWIPE TO SEE video! 😁 Full video has just launched on YouTube this morning! LINK IN BIO 🙌🏼

The Mereenie Loop Road links the Kings Canyon area to the West MacDonnell Ranges and cuts out a whole lot of kms and time. But - it’s 150 km of brutal corrugation, washouts and boggy sand.

In this video we show you how we prepare both the caravan and Chevy to tackle this track. We made it across with absolutely no damage whatsoever 😁😁 and since, have come across a few people who didn’t fare so well😬

You need a permit to drive on this road, and we saw donkeys, brumbys and were warned about camels and roos as well.

We dropped the tyres and adjust the pressures in the air bags, paid careful attention to how we packed inside the van and made it across without a single bit of damage 👍🏼

Having a capable setup sure makes all the difference when it comes to this sort of adventuring 😁🙌🏼

The hardest thing about full-time travel is 100% not being able to see our families. The hardest thing about full-time travel during the Covid pandemic is that when a loved one dies or becomes sick we can’t get home.

My 93 y/o nan had a stroke last night. My dad called me from her bedside this morning and I was able to talk to her. She couldn’t talk back but was responsive. I told her about our travels and her beautiful great-grandkids. Told her how much I loved her and cried and not long after, I received a call from my mum saying she had passed away.

My nan was such a fighter and has proved us all wrong so many times by refusing to die! She was still out walking and even riding on the back of dads motorbike not that long ago. I guess it’s kind of a shock that it’s actually happened. She was such a strong woman and along with my grandad helped raise me when my parents worked and my kids when I worked.

I’m forever grateful for such happy memories and being blessed with such wonderful grandparents.
I love you nanny and my heart is broken 💔 I know you’re in a better place and your pain is now gone, but that doesn’t stop my heart from hurting like it is. Give grandad, Sarah and Ily the biggest hugs from me ♥️♥️♥️

The interesting thing is - my mum ( @karenmacewriter )has written a book about grief called ‘A Grief Revealed’ and it was released yesterday. Shame that we don’t have anywhere she can send it - that’s the other downside about full time travel. We don’t know where we will be over the next 4 weeks so parcel lockers won’t work. ...
