TABERSTRAVELS IN THE LAND OF THE LONG WHITE CLOUD
NORTH ISLAND (Click on images to enlarge.) Having talked about going overseas for several years, and with covid interrupting any thoughts of doing that in a hurry, New Zealand as our nearest neighbour, but still overseas, was an obvious choice. Then when friends from Canada were going there and (in their words), we “couldn’t be…
Tabers Travels Go West
Click on images to enlarge. Western Australia. It had been over 36 years since we had travelled over there (except for a brief stop in Perth airport on our way to Broome for a Kimberley Cruise) and we had a few places on the list that we had never been to, so we packed up…
Outback 2022 – Part 2
Continuing our 2022 journey into the red dust of the outback, we leave Oodnadatta and cross into Queensland on the Plenty Highway.
Outback 2022 – Part 1
Home to Oodnadatta. Most years when we head off in Roxy, we head “north for the winter,” generally up into Queensland to absorb some warmer weather, but last year we had a different idea, namely, to travel a loop incorporating some of the National Parks we had missed the year before. However, the weather impacted…
Destination Cape York – Final
Rinyirru-Lakefield NP – Cooktown – Home (Click on images to enlarge) Coming back down the Cape, we took a detour. Turning eastward from Musgrave Roadhouse onto Lilyvale Road, we headed towards Rinyirru-Lakefield National Park, another of the CYPAL (Cape York Peninsula Aboriginal Land) National Parks. Not far from the turnoff, we pulled into a side…
Destination Cape York – part 4
Thursday Island and Pajinka -The Tip (Click on images to enlarge) So here we were – we’d made it to the Tip of Cape York, well ALMOST! Camping at Loyalty Beach, or anywhere this far north, brings different weather conditions than we are used to. Being tropical, our first couple of days were overcast and…
Destination Cape York – Part 3
Karumba to Cape York (Click on images to enlarge) By the time we hit Karumba, we had travelled around 6000 kilometres in two months and Karumba was our final familiar place before we started heading up Cape York Peninsula into territory we had previously not visited. Before leaving Karumba, we called in at the caravan…
Destination Cape York – Part 2
Hungerford to Karumba. (click on photos to enlarge) Having spent about three weeks in outback NSW, following the Darling River for much of that time, we had now crossed over the border (through a gate) and into Queensland at Hungerford. Our plan was to have a short lunch stop there and then continue into the…
Destination Cape York
Part 1 – Home to Hungerford, Qld. (Click on images to enlarge.) Back in May last year, (2021) we seized a window of opportunity and took off, heading northwards towards warmer weather. The week after we left home, Victoria closed under lock down, so we’d made it out just in time, and although NSW closed…
Sydney to the High Plains
(Click on images to enlarge.) The year is passing so quickly and despite the restrictions placed on us again with Covid-19 outbreaks, we have still managed to escape a couple of times and get out there in Roxy. Our first getaway for the year was a couple of days in Melbourne, not in Roxy of…
