On August 20, 2025 By Born to TravelIn Art, Australia, Photography, Roadtrip, Travel, WalkingLeave a comment

On previous trips to Adelaide we had visited the winery area of McLaren Vale to the south but had never gone further, so as we had a spare day, Karen and I decided to head down to the Fleurieu Peninsula to have a look. After clearing the city and passing through the vineyards of McLaren …

By the next morning the rain had ceased which was a good thing as we had a pretty big day (about 400 kms) of towing ahead of us again. After breakfast we were soon packed up and on our way north. The first town we passed was Augathella. We'd heard nice things about their town …

Beppu – Day trip to Yufuin

Beppu – Day trip to Yufuin

After another excellent sleep and a slow breakfast in our apartment we walked to the bus station and caught an extremely crowded bus 36 to go to Yufuin. It was a very windy road up to the Beppu Ropeway. Karen managed a seat but I had to stand the whole way. I managed to secure […]

Beppu’s ‘Seven Hells’

Beppu’s ‘Seven Hells’

Had a great sleep, waking after 8am in our lovely apartment. After a breakfast of granola, yoghurt and banana with juice for me and tea for Karen we walked down to the Tourist Information Centre at the station. We spoke with a young guy who organised us with 2 day bus passes and a booklet […]

Taipei

Taipei

As we drove to Melbourne Airport in my brother’s car we noticed peak hour was just about over. So we arrived in good time to check in just after 7:30pm for our 10:35pm flight direct to Taipei. The flight was about two thirds full and took off a few minutes behind schedule. As late dinner […]

Two Glaciers and a Chilean Ranch

Two Glaciers and a Chilean Ranch

We took an early breakfast and then walked into town to the travel agent’s office. From there we joined a busload of fellow travellers and were bussed out to Puerto Bories. Here we boarded our boat for the day. It wasn’t the most modern but had plenty of tables with seats. We sat down with […]
