In the first half of 2017 we visited these fantastic Australian places:
We drove to all of these places from Melbourne and camped in each and had a wonderful time. Flinders Ranges was definitely our favorite trip with magnificent scenery and beautiful places to explore ( even in 45 degrees).
Dave’s back injury in July put a halt to any camping for the latter half of the year. After months of rehab and hard work he is stronger than ever. Looking forward to getting back into camping in 2018 and finding some new places to explore!
Here are some highlights from our travels in 2017:
