The 5 Best Beaches in Australia
The 5 Best Beaches in Australia. That’s a big ask! First we need to define what constitutes a beach that can be considered for this list. I am not talking about the longest or widest or most sandy etc, etc. By the way, the longest beach probably is the Coorong from Kingston to the Murray … Continue reading
Looking at Rockhampton
Locals call this town Rocky. As has been said earlier, Rocky has a population around 85,000. It is a nice size town, but surprises in how neat it is being kept by the local council. It has a lot of ‘old world’ charm. The town center has a large shady main street that is … Continue reading
Baffle Creek
Baffle Creek We left Woodgate early-ish in the morning to go up north some 150km to a remote little place by the name of Baffle creek.

Some more McLaren notes
This morning we decided to revisit Willunga which is only a few kilometers away. The Saturday market was in full swing when we arrived, but very crowded. After looking around we decided to have a coffee and croissant at the Café Terre, a coffee shop styled on the old world French look and feel. This … Continue reading
Mildura
We’re off to explore the Mildura town area. The walking track along the Murray River is well developed and passes through grassy parks with lawns and plants that are well watered. I guess you would expect this along the Murray. We were passed by a few paddle steamers that seemed to drag us into an … Continue reading
