About Us

Australia
Whenever you mention overseas that you are from Australia, people think “the opera house, skippy and the beaches” but Australia is not only that, Australia is the bush, the outback, the country people, and its wild life and lots more. Ten years ago we joined one of the best four wheel drive club in the country. Being members of the Subaru Club, we have met exceptional people, whom we consider our second family; we learnt how to go camping, four wheel driving and more, now is time to put our skills to the test. We will be travelling to the rainforest, the outback, the world famous great barrier reef, we will go through some remote areas with rugged terrain, we’ll see lots of wild life including the legendary salt water crocodile, furthermore the famous road trains, they are 53 metres long, of course meet the country people, we will be visiting cattle stations; one of them is one and a half million acres and obviously we will be going to a lot of country pubs so we can enjoy a coldie while we meet some of the locals and some adventurous travellers, we are very excited and cannot wait longer to “Go and See Australia”......well...part of it.

COBBOLD GORGE

We left Undara and headed to Cobbold Gorge, we stopped at Georgetown to update the blog a bit more, re-fuelled and had a quick bite. The Off Road Granny Flat was exposed to its first dust test, we didn’t have many problems thanks to all the dust filters Gabriel installed on all the air vents, so far so good.

We arrived late afternoon to this awesome place called Cobbold Gorge it is a located in Robin Hood Cattle Station. This cattle station has 14,000 head of Brahman cattle, 1284 square kilometres and up to date they have erected 300 kilometres of fence. When we expressed our surprise of how big is the property, they told us the station is just a small property, there are bigger in the Northern Territory!!!!
Our tour was very unique we had the opportunity to have an overall view of the flora and fauna in the Gorge by foot, then after we went on a boat cruise through the Gorge which is fed by several springs keeping the water level constant, allowing boat access all year round, we saw native fish abound in these waters and many fresh water crocodiles, it was just unforgettable experience. After the tour we returned to the camp site for a relaxing afternoon, it was so hot that we decided to enjoy the pool with some coldies.
