According to the original plan, there should have been a report about our second Outback route (Coober Pedy -> Lake Eyre -> Flinders Ranges) by now. Unfortunately, we had...

For the next days we wanted to explore the Flinders Ranges. As the information in all the booklets, Lonely Planet and websites we have read were pretty sparse on the walks, we...

With electricity back on despite the rain and storm outside we had a lazy start in the day doing some laundry and catching up on some sleep. Just after lunch time the weather...

The purchase of a camper turned out to be a bit more difficult than expected. We had imagined that we would use the first week in Australia to find a car, buy it, and register...

25.01.20 Our stay in Adelaide was rather short...but there was also no time to unpack the suitcases. That's why this morning everything is going quite quickly and we arrive...

After about five weeks in Adelaide (where nothing significant happened because we mostly worked there), our journey continued. The destination was Kangaroo Island. From...

Yesterday morning we landed in Adelaide after a rather exhausting flight. Luckily, we were able to check into our hotel room directly. 12 hours at 32ºC and a perceived humidity...

After successfully completing our ride through the desert without any problems, it was actually nice to see civilization and people again.

We slept in, it's Monday morning!!! Our first destination today is the Blue Lake, a crater lake that is popular among locals for fitness walks. We hike the 4 km on a paved...

25.01.23 With thin walls and noisy neighbors, we wake up at 7 a.m. We try to drown out the noise with an audio play. It works moderately well and we doze off for a bit. Then we...

Stuart in der bemalten Wüste

From Adelaide, we went directly back into nature: With the car ferry to Kangaroo Island - an island where many species of Australian wildlife can be found in the wild. Besides...

We definitely went to bed too late yesterday. The kids, and therefore we, only wake up at 9:15 am. There's not much time left until check-out at 10 am. We quickly pack up and...

We all slept very well and didn't wake up until 8 o'clock. It is already quite warm outside. Even during the night, it was 32 degrees. I march to the roadhouse to update our...
