Favourite Place #2 – Eulo

May 18, 2010 Red Nomad OZ Eulo, Things to do, Travel

Eulo? Where’s Eulo? Click HERE for the Google map! Only 68 km west of Cunnamulla, we stopped (in true Grey Nomad style) after less than an hour on the road!! We’d seen a locally produced brochure listing Eulo attractions, and thought it deserved a look. Did it ever! How could anyone pass up the opportunity to see the site of the famous lizard[…]

Kata Tjuta view from the Loo, Northern Territory

Australia’s Scenic Public Toilets #2

May 15, 2010 Red Nomad OZ Kata Tjuta, Olgas, Scenic Public Toilets, Travel

Regular readers may notice a theme developing with my Scenic Public Toilet series (click HERE for #1 if you missed it)?! It’s no coincidence that my first two favourites are surrounded by rocks as these are some of the most scenic spots in Australia. But … at Kata Tjuta (also known as the Olgas) near Uluru (Ayers Rock) I was[…]

UFO Abduction Mural, Wycliffe Well, Northern Territory

Why Wycliffe Well is a TOP Aussie Town, Northern Territory

April 9, 2010 Red Nomad OZ Australia, Devil's Marbles, Northern Territory, TOP Aussie Towns, Travel, UFO, Wycliffe Well

Wycliffe Well is one of several roadhouse/diner/pub/motel/caravan park/store complexes on the Stuart Highway north of Alice Springs. But Wycliffe Well is unique. Why? Because it is the self-proclaimed UFO capital of Australia – if not the world. As such, it’s worth stopping over to see if those claims are true. There was once a book in the roadhouse where visitors[…]

Rocks at Karlu Karlu/Devil's Marbles, Northern Territory

Karlu Karlu/Devils Marbles – Australia’s Scenic Public Toilets #1

April 5, 2010 Red Nomad OZ Devil's Marbles, Karlu Karlu, Karlu Karlu/Devils Marbles, Scenic Public Toilets, Travel

Australia’s scenic wonders – such as the amazing Karlu Karlu/Devils Marbles – are generally accessible to the public. That means plenty of nearby facilities such as lookouts, viewing platforms, car parks, campgrounds, picnic tables, BBQs. AND plenty of public conveniences. That’s just one reason Australia is known as the ‘lucky country’! Around the country it’s possible do your business[…]

View from Baldy Top Lookout, Quilpie, Outback Queensland

Why Quilpie is a TOP Aussie Town

March 24, 2010 Red Nomad OZ 7 Days in ..., Outback, Queensland, Quilpie, Things to do, TOP Aussie Towns, Travel

Spending a fun filled week in Quilpie is easy. In the photo above, this Outback Queensland opal mining town is visible way off in the distance from landmark lookout ‘Baldy Top’ just out of town. But just because it (almost) disappears into the distance from any vantage point doesn’t mean there’s nothing to do there. About 955 km (593[…]

How to tell if you’re a Grey Nomad

February 12, 2010 Red Nomad OZ Grey Nomad

Hi again! My blog makes it clear I don’t identify as a Grey Nomad (GN) and I also claimed there were some general features that made GNs easily identifiable. Now I’ve been asked to put my money where my mouth is – exactly what constitutes a GN? Only thing is, there’s so many different ideas about GNs that it’s actually[…]

Red Nomad OZ is GO!

February 3, 2010 Red Nomad OZ Australia, Grey Nomad, Holidays, Travel

Hi there! Welcome to my New Year’s resolution (albeit a little late) – actually, the blog is the 2nd resolution, the first being to get a home computer … yes, sad I know! Now, finally, those who care can access an online update about where I am/what I’m doing without endlessly waiting for those collectors edition email updates. But wait![…]
