Chasing Slow – Part 23: Lamington & the Gold Coast
We couldn't resist the urge to pop in to Queensland and go hiking in the Lamington National Park before finishing what has been a long, incredible time exploring Australia. Byron Bay was meant to be the furtherest north on the east coast that we w...
Chasing Slow – Part 22: NSW north coast to Byron Bay
Byron Bay sits right up the top of NSW where the clear warm water rolls in from the east onto the pristine, sandy surf beaches. Known for long hair and a laid back atmosphere, the place is an iconic Australian surf town and always a lot of fun to vis...
Testing out the BLUETTI EB55 Portable Power Station
Whether it be strapping on the boots and venturing through the wilderness by foot for a day hike or packing up the tent and heading on a camping trip, nothing beats getting outdoors! There's a thrill to be gained from roughing-it, or an unexplaine...
Chasing Slow – Part 21: Blue Mountains
Out of anywhere on the east coast, the Blue Mountains were our most anticipated destination. We've heard so much about the place and the regular comparison to the Grampians in Victoria that we've explored in detail, now we had finally made it there a...
Chasing Slow – Part 20: NSW South-ish Coast
Back to the coast! We've been inland for a while since canoeing down the Glenelg River at the start of the year. Mainly spending our time at high altitude (..by Australian standards), taking it easy at the Grampians, drinking from the natural mine...
Chasing Slow – Part 19: Canberra
Right up in the northern part of the mountains that we've been exploring for the last few weeks, just where you'd never expect it, we found Canberra, Australia's capital city. Designed by the same bloke that was town planner for Daylesford, wh...
Chasing Slow – Part 18: Australia’s Highest Mountain
We hiked up the highest mountain in Australia! ..but, not as planned. Exploring the Australian Alps wouldn't be complete without making our way to the Mount Kosciuszko Summit, the highest mountain in Australia. We left Mount Buffalo and headed ...
Chasing Slow – Part 17: Mount Buffalo
Over the years, we've heard a lot about Bright and how nice the place is, & as it's only a bit over an hour from the farm that we had been helping out at, it made sense to go and take a look! Bright & early, we made it to Bright. The town ...
Chasing Slow – Part 16: Daylesford
We've been roughing it for a while and after getting some well needed rest, we combed our hair and headed for Daylesford. My Dad and his wife, Julie have spent a fair chunk of the last few years exploring Australia in their caravan. They've had a ...
Chasing Slow – Part 15: Great Ocean Road Bypass
Completing the Glenelg River Canoe Trail was a lot of fun, although pretty exhausting! So, we skipped the Great Ocean Road & headed for the hills! Although we were in a perfect location and time of the year to head along the Victorian coastlin...
