Flying out of Hobart back to the mainland, we did a scenic over Wineglass Bay then popped into St Helens for lunch, just North of Wineglass Bay and 30 min from Hobart. Beautifully maintained clay/gravel strip near the coast. There is a great bar/cafe a short walk away with very tasty and generously portioned food. Parkside Bar and Kitchen was an easy 1.5km walk along the foreshore. Read More
Almost directly beneath the most direct route between Bankstown and Hamilton Island, but in line with Emerald and Rockhampton is a little dirt strip nestled behind the Dingo Roadhouse. There are no refuelling facilities for the plane, but the food was fabulous. A great pit stop to stretch the legs and refill the belly. There were also cabins if you wanted to stay for the evening.

Departing our little slice of heaven, we headed further West to Cape Leveque/Kooljamin. The only destination I had visited before, I had to return again to the peninsula where the red dirt meets the sea, where one can watch both the sun set and moon rise over the ocean. Read More
On the remote and wild east coastline of the Kimberley’s, as you fly north along the rocky and cliffed red coast, your suddenly see spectacular large white sand dunes perched on the edge of a river delta. You’ve arrived at the luxuriously wild and spectacular Berkeley River Lodge. To add to the exclusiveness and remoteness, there is no land access – only air and sea. Read More
People refer to El Questro as an outback theme park. In ways they are right – tours are rather routine and formulaic (to the point where the sunset tour viewing place is permanently signed as such, reserved only for paying tour guests) and the place is built to accommodate hoards of campers. That all said, they have got the formula right. Read More
