The Limestone Coast
This is a top pick! ... . On a boring drive northwest we broke the fuel rule of never dropping below a quarter tank. In a vast country like Australia it's important to keep ample petrol on board at all times. The scenery improved to include seaside lakes surrounded ...
Port Fairy and on to South Australia
This is a top pick! ... as he is still as skinny as a rake. Then back in the campervan and off to Robe. The scenery in South Australia is pretty flat, although the area around Mount Gambier was clearly designated as an area for commercial forestry. ...
Brrr its cold?
This is a top pick! Between Hahndorf and Robe were miles of coastal scenery intermingled with rolling hills and tree lined meandering bends. Robe was another village that had a tinge of European influences, but unfortunately not quite hitting the mark. For example we ...
Week 5 - The longest drive of my life...
... so far. After putting away several bottles of SA's finest we retired to our room in this historical old inn, The Caledonian. Robe was a lovely old coastal town, quite reminiscent of a Cornish fishing village. After a grey breakfast at 'The Cally' (as it ...
Kangaroos and flies

Rye Grass!

Robe - I can't say 'not famous for....'

Roadtrip

The Grampians
... had to turn our clocks back ½ hour, so now we are 9½ hours in front of you guys instead on 10. More on South Australia, Robe and the fantastic YHA accommodation we are staying at tomorrow. I am off to bed, I am knackered and Mortens watching some crap ...
Robe
... poll tax. Once here the Chinese would walk 550kms to the Victorian Goldfields. The rock lobster (crayfish) industry is what keeps Robe alive today along with tourism. Just incase you are wondering rock lobster season is October to May, so we missed out. ...
Delightful Robe
... area North of Grampians is today called The Great Grape road but back in the 1850's it was here they first found gold in Australia and loads of mining towns blossomed soon putting Victoria on the map. Then the mines ran out of gold, but the towns ...
Free Camping
We left Exmouth this morning and drove to a free campsite at Robe River... a few hours drive from Exmouth towards Karratha. This was also a very basic site, it only had two toilets... smelly ones! It was located next to the Robe River, which was ...
The water is blue, really blue, I tell you.
The pictures really say it all. Mount Gambier itself, for us an overnight stop sandwiched between long days driving, is most famous for it's crater lake filled with blue water. Yes, I know, water often is blue but this water is really very blue. Honest. ...

Robe
... wilden rijden. Te ver en vooral te lang rijden over slechte wegen was ons verteld. Het betere nieuws was wel dat we er in South Australia achter kwamen dat we hier 110 mogen in plaats van 100 in New South Wales en Victoria! Dan kom je nog eens ergens ;-) ...
On The Great Ocean Road to Adelaide
... . After traveling for sometime, we knew that we were getting somewhere, when we suddenly saw a giant lobster rearing its sunburned head at us - Mmm, does anyone feel like seafood? Next Up: Adelaide - Australia's most livable ...

Classic Coast Tour: Day 3
... National Park, where we walked along the craggy coastline in the baking heat. Finally, we made our way to our overnight stop of Robe. Given that this was our last night on the tour, the final meal was held in a nice restaurant in town rather than the ...
Anne and Dave
We left Adelaide in the morning and headed for Robe, a small seaside town south of Adelaide where we had arranged to meet Anne and Dave (my Mum and Dad's best friends). We arrived about 1.30pm, and it was really nice to see them... it made me terribly ...
Robe
... anyone, and that's normal! We made our way North along the Costal Highway until we got to the beautiful town of Robe, just inside South Australia. Before I talk about Robe I'm going to rant about SA. It is HALF AN HOUR behind Melbourne, at GMT+9.5 ...
Weather
What weather would you expect in Australia? Well, it wouldn't be rain, gales, hail,wind and yes, we've had all that, and most of it last night. So if you think we were too smug in Asia when you were freezing in UK, well now it is your turn. The tent ...
Limestone Coast
... We drove north to check out Naracoorte and stock up on groceries. We met up with Ben and Tina once again in Robe - a small seaside village with an interesting history on the Limestone Coast. Chinese landed here during the gold rush and walked 100 ...

Back to the coastline
Mittlerweile habe ich die Fahrt nach Melbourne in Angriff genommen, dies bei bisher perfektem Wetter und 27°C. Ich hoffe es bleibt so schön, auch wenn die Wettervorhersage anderes sagt. Heute bin ich etwas schreibfaul, darum lade ich nur ein paar ...
Day 5 -7 of 306 Port Fairy to Robe (via Naracoorte
... !) We also visited Poplars, had coffee and frogs in ponds and then set off to set up camp at the highly recommended (in Camps Australia Wide) Bool Lagoon Game Reserve. It was meant to be a cheap or free alternate to staying in Caravan Parks. Well it was ...
South East coast of South Australia
EN: We were driving along the SE coast of South Australia with no plans, not knowing how far we would get and where would we sleep that night. On the way we stopped at Lake Albert and the Coorong National Park which were amazing. Our short afternoon walk ...
Another territory - South Australia
... Blue Lake which had been made as recently as 4,000 to 5,000 years ago as a result of a massive volcano, the youngest in Australia. It has been mystifying scientists for years as to why it has such a magnificent colour. I fear the photos don’t do it ...
