Happy (outback) campers
It is 11.23 am, we have been up since almost 8 hours, done a 6km rim walk and are now on our way back to the hotel Alice Springs. But this is only the conclusion of our 3-day camping trip around Uluru! This adventure, also know as my […]
Adelaide and Kangaroo island
On December 6th we woke up quite cheerfully and moved on to Adelaide. We checked into our hotel, dumped our luggage again and returned the car to the rental agency. Since we were downtown already, we hit the arcades for some lunch and shopping. Since I can’t buy […]
The Barossa Valley
After finishing the great ocean road in Port Fairy (where we saw neither elves nor obvious gays) we headed up North to Adelaide. We took the scenic route along the Grampians, which was great! We did some nice rock climbing and enjoyed the stunning views. I mean, […]

We decided to stay in Melbourne for almost a week, which gave us plenty of opportunity to finish the walk mr. Scientist had planned, do some wine tasting in the Yarra Valley and do the Phryne Fisher tour! Since mr. Scientist also likes to try wine and getting […]
Melbourne on a budget
Traveling can be expensive, but it turns out that you can spend an entire day in Melbourne almost for free. Today we did an extensive walk through the city, visited some highlights and ended our day at a free concert. Total expenditures: A$10,- on public transport and an […]
Hello Melbourne!
After about 8 or 9 hours of travel, we have arrived in Melbourne! Although Melbourne is only a 55-minute flight from Hobart (Tasmania), it took us practically all day to get there. We started off in Devonport at 8.00 a.m. After a good 3 hour drive and a […]
