A Covid outbreak and the subsequent restrictions cut our trip short and we had to rush home. By coincidence our overnight stops were small towns all starting with G: Gulgong, Goolgowi and Gol Gol! While we were relaxing and enjoying the Myall Lakes area, we were keeping an eye on the news relating to aContinue reading “Rushing home via Gulgong, Goolgowi and Gol Gol”

Scenic Myall Lakes area
A visit to the scenic Myall Lakes area, including day trips, walks and birdwatching. Due to flood damage in March, all of Myall Lakes National Park was closed. Instead, we chose to stay at the Sandbar and Bushland caravan park which was close by, in a nice lakeside setting and close to the coast. ThisContinue reading “Scenic Myall Lakes area”
Rainforest walks, rain and fog in the Gloucester Region
We walk among Antarctic Beech trees and around an old goldmine site which is being reclaimed by the rainforest. Gloucester is the gateway to the Barrington High Tops National Park, which like Springbrook and the Border Ranges is part of the Gondwana Rainforests of Australia. Although we would have preferred to camp in the nationalContinue reading “Rainforest walks, rain and fog in the Gloucester Region”
Limeburners Creek NP, birds and whale watching
A couple of days of camping in Limeburners Creek National Park included some good birdwatching and whale watching. Driving from the Solitary Islands Coast to Limeburners Creek National Park took us through Coffs Harbour, and via a number of popular headland towns: Nambucca Heads, Southwest Rocks, Crescent Head. Charging at Macksville on this trip wasContinue reading “Limeburners Creek NP, birds and whale watching”

The Waterfall Way runs between Armidale in the west through to the Pacific Highway in the east. As the name suggests, there are several waterfalls along (or not far offContinue reading “Waterfall Way: walks and lyrebirds”
The Pilliga: scrub, sculptures and sandstone caves
We travel north-west from Coonabarrabran to explore the expansive Pilliga Forest. We read about the Pilliga while charging our car at the fast charger in Coonabarrabran (during our stay in the Warrumbungles) and were attracted to visit there. The Pilliga Forest includes over 5,000 km2 of semi-arid woodland. The native cypress pine (Callitris) growing there hasContinue reading “The Pilliga: scrub, sculptures and sandstone caves”
Central West NSW
To explore the region of NSW between Parkes to the west, Cowra to the south and Orange to the east, we decided to stay in Canowindra, which is centrally located. From Canberra we drove to Yass for a fast charge, but instead of looking around, we had a chat with another Kona EV driver whoContinue reading “Central West NSW”
Adelaide to Canberra: 1200 km over 3 days
Driving 1200 km over some long, very straight roads from Adelaide to Canberra. Over the three days of using eight fast chargers, we didn’t once have to pay for charging. We decided to break the 1200 km drive to Canberra into three roughly equal stretches. This trip relied on access to fast chargers (installed byContinue reading “Adelaide to Canberra: 1200 km over 3 days”
