- Melbourne – Our Indian colocation and finally a city which is worth it going there
So we arrived in Melbourne, our last stop in Australia. Having slept accordingly, we were relaxed and talked to everyone. We weren’t in a rush, as 1 week to explore a city should be enough time. The two British couchsurfers (one of them Scottish with a really difficult accent) couldn’t find another accommodation in Melbourne ...
- One night in Melbourne and two nights in a luxurious camper
After the last night in our camper (again on a parking spot along the highway), we had to clean the camper, do the luggage and drive to Melbourne in order to return our camper. It figured out to be a not too easy process. The poor guy from the renting company didn’t know anything about ...
- Great Ocean Road
After visiting the Grampians we drove until late night towards the Great Ocean Road (which was apparently quite exciting because of all the night active animals in the park). When we finally found a good spot to park, it was close to midnight why we all fell asleep immediately. The next morning was waiting with ...
- Grampians National Park
You have two options if you want to drive from Adelaide to the beginning of the Great Ocean Road. One of them is to drive around 600km along the coastline, the other one goes inland before leading to the coast through the Grampians National Park. We chose the second option since Kyle (couchsurfer from Esperance) ...
- Adelaide
We finally arrived in Adelaide after our two days driving adventure. We spent the evening at the Brighton Beach south of the city centre to relax and watched the sunset on the beach of the camping site. After having a refreshing shower the next day, we headed to the centre of Adelaide via Metro in ...
- On the Road for 26 hours and crossing the Nullabor
It’s quite a long drive from Esperance to Aidelaide, so to say 2268km. Just to set this in a better context, the distance between Garmisch-Partenkirchen (the most southern city of Germany) and Flensburg (the most northern city of Germany) is 1000km. So we crossed Germany twice in 2 days. The difference between Esperance and Adelaide ...
- Esperance
It’s an around 5 hours’ drive between Albany and Esperance which was so far the longest at the south coast, but we’ll beat that, promised. So we arrived in Esperance at around 4PM but since our couchsurfing host had to work we spent the time with a drive on the Ocean Drive. This one makes ...
- Albany
When we arrived in Albany we got a bit disappointed. Even though we arrived at the mechanics almost one hour before closing they told us to come back the next day. A bit annoyed, we made our way to a couchsurfing host, who let us stay for one night. Rachel was super kind and helpful ...
- Shannon Forest & Valley of the Giants
After seeing and tasting Margaret River, we wanted to start our journey towards Albany. We were really looking forward to seeing the ways, because they should lead us through a huge forest area, the Shannon Forest. The ways were indeed really nice, until at some point, we saw thick smoke clouds above the forest. Probably ...
