Just got back from a week Easter Break in the Outback and have new stories to tell. We didn’t get bogged this time on the way to Wyandra. We made it there safe and sound in just over 10hours drive from Brisbane. We stayed at the century old cottage across the Wyandra pub. We always enjoyed having breakfast, lunch and dinner at the veranda and watch the sun go down late in the afternoon as the sky turns into different shade of blue, orange, red and purple. Wyandra is a very small sleepy town. All you can see are red earth, native wildlife, the town pub and few rustic houses. Nonetheless, it’s a nice countryside retreat to unwind and escape life in the city. Visit to McDonald’s Farm - We’ve been once again invited to the ... read more

Imagine a 69 year old woman traveling around Australia on a bicycle. Amazing huh ? I was relaxing on a hammock when an old lady on a push bike asked me for direction. She’s been push biking all day from Cunnamulla to Wyandra, which only takes an hour and a half drive by car. She wanted to camp in Wyandra for the night then head to Charleville in the morning. I showed her the free camp site and gave her a couple of soda water to drink. Her name is Margaret. She is from Germany. She started push biking from Melbourne when I met her in Wyandra. She’s truly an amazing lady. She could have easily qualified in the Guinness Book of Record for the oldest woman to travel around Australia on a push bike. ... read more

Most people spend Easter break at the beach but we decided to head off the beaten track of the Australian Outback….destination - WYANDRA. Wyandra is a very small remote town South West of Queensland. It is 12 hours drive to get there so we left really early in the morning. We used to live in Wyandra (for just over a year) and finished grade 12 (senior HS) in Charleville. We then moved to Brisbane after graduation to start University studies. As we reached Miles, a town halfway Wyandra, I relieved Jamie from driving and took over the wheel. There are quite a lot of trucks on the road driving slower than expected. There was this one truck hogging the road and blocking my view, so I decided to over take him on the narrow two ... read more
