Let’s Roll! [The Nullarbor]

 

Do you like golf?

The Nullarbor. It was hyped up by a lot of people, but it wasn’t THAT great, if you ask me. It was cool driving over this massive road of… nothing. But it wasn’t as long and grand as I thought.

The first night, we stayed at CockleBiddy Roadhouse, where we first discovered something funny. Just for funzies, every single roadhouse on the Nullarbor has a golf hole! Making the worlds longest 18 hole golf course, which stretches over 1,365 kilometres! We, er, didn’t play.

The second night we were staying at Bunda Cliffs, some cliffs. Some crazy people were camping right on the edge  of the cliffs, but I’m allergic to falling onto hard rocks being thrashed by deadly waves from a four story building high cliff, unfortunately. So we parked a little further away. It was quite nice, we just sat down, had some sausages, watched a fire, patted BogDog. All was good.

I’m case you were wondering, yes, there is a fruit quarantine station, but thankfully, they let you actually cross the Nullarbor before taking your food, even if you’re already in South Australia.

Even though it may have not been some sort of grand adventure, it was still really fun driving around and seeing the sight- oh wait. There aren’t any.

Down below are some photos, so take… a peek.
It could be really funky,
If travel is what you seek,
Then head to Travel Monkey!
Man, I’m like, such a rapper.

The FERRIS Wheel We WERE In FELL OVER! (NoT ClIcKbAiT!!! 😮😨🤯) [Cairns]

Image
  Okay... maybe it was clickbait. Scsitneits exlapin taht you're albe to raed sfutf lkie tihs, eevn tguohh the spilleng is ruibbsh. Why am I brigning tihs up? I dnnuo. Cairns was great. Not as great as my hairdresser made it out to be, but still, great. Then again, we didn't do the things she told us to do. We weren't staying in the city of Cairns, but we were close. We did a lot of bike riding, going to water's edge-ing, and trying the Mcdonalds custard raspberry pie thingo. ANYBOG, the park we staying at was right next to a nice creek, we walked and rode down there a lot, so that was cool. What was cooler though was the things we did in Cairns City. On one day we went out to lunch a seafood place on the water's edge. On another day, we took a walk along the boardwalk. There's this place called the Lagoon, which is a massive public pool with sand for a floor. Basically, it's an artificial mini ocean where the crocs don't shine. It had a really good atmo

Rain... THE MOVIE!!! [Ellis Beach]

Image
A certain someone will understand that title. You witness a master at work. A master at doing something incredible. Something most don't have the time to do. Something most do not have the dedication to perform. That something... is writing a useless intro about masters at work. Anyway, let's talk about Ellis Beach. It is great. The caravan park is on the beach, literally. You can walk off a site and you'll be on the sand. Our site was pretty damn good, and we could always hear the waves. But, it's all very fun and games until you realise it was raining the WHOLE TIME.  It's such a nice spot, but the weather just decided to take a massive bog on it. Bruh. On the first day, we went to the nearby Palm Cove for a walk with Jazzy. Palm Cove is noice. Very noice. It wasn't raining there, because why not, WEATHERMAN?  So we hung out for a little while. On another day, we went again without Jaz and had lunch at an Italian joint. We had some pizza, theorised about Ken&#

Never did I think a shopping centre would be so cool… [Treasure Island]

Image
  I like me some treasure. That treasure be gold. The Gold Coast. After leaving our friends (very tragic) we went to Treasure Island, near Surfers Paradise. And oh boy, this caravan park was the most kid-friendly park I have ever seen. - One pool, with a slide. - Another pool, with a water fall. - A third pool because why not.. - A splash park. - Basketball court. - Outdoor cinema. - Jumping PILLOW. - Mini golf. - Go karts. - In-park restaurant. - Staff run activities. - Multiple playgrounds. I could go on. Anyway, apart from the caravan park, the actual location was honestly a bit “meh”. It was nice, don’t get me wrong, but this was the first place that felt like a city. Or, Surfers Paradise did, anyway. Treasure Island was alright . While we were here, we met up with a cousin of mine, Nick. We had lunch with him, and then walked down the beach, as there was currently an art festival thingo, so there was a bunch of artworks to look at, though some were better than others. Some pieces

The most creative name in history!.. ToWnSvIlLe.✨ [Townsville]

Image
First person to name this font in the comments gets a virtual cookie. Now, I'm not trying to poke fun at anyone who lives in Townsville, but seriously, what is up with the name? I know it's was named after someone's last name being Towns, but in my opinion, Townsville sounds like the the most generic place in existence. If I heard "Townsville" and didn't know what it was, I'd think it was the absolute DEFAULT setting for a town. Except, that is not the case. Far from it. Townsville is great, my friends. So, let's talk about the place itself. Townsville was super cool, it remined me a lot of Palm Cove, back at Ellis Beach, but I think that was just because of the road being next to the water. When we first arrived, we checked out the sculpture walk along the beach. Some were quite impressive and interesting. Other's were... let's just say one of them was imported from America, and it can go back there too. While we were in Townsville, we met up

How to melt an infant. (Definitely legal!!!) [Innot Hot Springs]

Image
  Toasty. What would happen if you dropped an uncooked steak into a burning hot spring... would it cook? Maybe turn into a stir fry? What about scare everyone out of the hot spring because they thought that lil' Jimmy had an accident? Well, unfortunately we're not gonna find out. That might be a good thing actually, the steak would taste like rock water.. . Anybog, when we were at Innot Hot Springs, we found out that hotspring + closetoourcaravan = verygood . The caravan park we were staying at was home to a hot spring, which was then divided into six pools. Each pool is a different temperature, so you could spend an hour comparing them. Except the hottest 2 were adults only so no kids burn their toenails off. Bog. When we arrived, we very quickly set up and then headed over to the pools. After that we headed off for a walk, saw a sign that literally said,  "PVRAITE PROEPTRY" ... and found the "Knowledge Tree"... which was very knowledgeable. You can tell b

FRY THE ENDS. GET YOURSELF SOME FRIENDS. [Rainbow Beach & Noosa]

Image
  Nooooooooooooooooooooosa Super Dooper Dummy Koopa Trooper Cooper here! In Noosa, we had some friends. I like friends. Without friends, you'll be sad. But before we get to Noosa, we stayed shortly at Rainbow Beach. Rainbow Beach was pretty chill. Unfortunately, the sand is not rainbow, and if it was, some kid would definitely mix up the colours, so I'm glad. Just like 300 metres from the park was a little water front restaurant, which was really nice. Jazzy could come, too, so that makes it extra nice . We were all hanging out eating dinner watching the impending d o o m - I mean, storm roll in. Luckily, it got bored and went in a different direction. As for the food, very nom nom. Dad had some fish tacos or something, which was apparently "I'd have that again" worthy, in Dad terms. I had a curry, which was quite spoocy (spicy) but I was fine with it. Anybog, let's get to Neh-neh-neh-NOOSA. As I said, some of our school friends - the Wrigleys, who had moved t

The Air is full of Midgies! [Airlie Beach]

Image
  Try our new special, Sunshine with a side of Awe! Airlie Beach. Very slay, as they say.  Airlie Beach had a really awesome feel in the town. There was a market every Saturday, heaps of amazing restaurants, and grass clearing next to the water. In our time, we explored the market, when on bike rides, went on some sunset cruises of debatable quality, and MORE. （⊙ｏ⊙） - One sunset cruise was nice… but just nice. After the sunset, all that was left to do was sit and wait to dock again while listening to cringe music. I don't even know what you would even call the music. Bog. - Dad & I were planning to go JetSki-ing at some point but the company said the  the water was too choppy,  so they suggested we didn’t go. Second bog. I was looking forward to that. Anyway, m y favourite part of Airlie Beach was just the atmosphere. The waterfront cafes, the bars, everything was just so alive. Even the caravan park, with bird feeding every day and food trucks every night.  We went to out t

ThIs PlAcE iS aMaZiNg! [Bourke]

Image
  Bruh. Bourke is... interesting. We were going to stay for 2 nights, but we've changed our plans. Now we're headed to Charlotte Plains early. What I'm saying is, you can't write a good review for Bourke without lying. COME TO BOURKE, THE ULTIMATE GETAWAY! ENJOY HEAPS OF FUN ACTIVITIES, SUCH AS TRYING TO FIND A PLACE TO GET DINNER. SPOILER ALERT, THERE'S ONLY TWO. AND ONE OF THEM IS A PUB. THE OTHER IS CHINESE. TAKE A STROLL DOWN THE DOG OVERUN STREETS, AND HAVE FUN SAYING TO YOUR FRIENDS THAT YOU'RE IN THE BACK OF BOURKE. THIS PLACE MAKES GOTHAM CITY SEEM NICE. COME TODAY! I don't mean to offend anyone who lives there, but Bourke needs a glow up badly. Anyway, since we only stayed there for a night, we didn't do much but have dinner and go back to van. \_(ツ)_/ I'm writing this in the car to Charlotte Plains now, actually. We woke up pretty early yesterday (when we were still at Darlington Point) to go to Bourke, so we were driving in darkness. That

MASH UP TIME! LET'S A GO. 🎤📣💬🏃‍♂️ [Emu Park, 1770]

Image
  The time has come for a mash up. Hey guys, it's me, your favourite messy hair blogger. This blog is a mash up, not because these places were bog or anything, but just because some of them were pretty short and don't really need their own blog. EMU PARK / FISHERMANS BAY Emu park was pretty chill. We played some chess, looked at a tree and realised that the leaves were actually bats, visited an island, sold some stuff. All that jazz. When I say island, I mean Great Keppel Island. Though, if we're being honest, it wasn't that 'great'. The only place there was to eat anything was pretty dodge, the place felt like it had some missed potential. Despite that, we set up on the beach for half the day and it was great. Jaz dug herself into a hole for some reason, Dad also dug up a chair for some reason, and I was trying to balance on a rope tied between two trees... for some reason. We walked around, Mum and Dad had a swim, and then had lunch. Even though the restaurant

Why have Mission Beach when you could have Mutarnee? [Mutarnee]

Image
  Rain is sadness, Have sun instead. Here's a fun fact-o-rama for you; Rain is bog. The title says it, the little description thingy up top says it, and I says it. Rain = not good time. I bring this up because we were meant to go Mission Beach after Cairns, but it was all raining, raining, raining. So instead, we made a last minute plan to go to a place called Mutarnee instead. It was a very good last minute plan. Mutarnee had awesome weather like sun, sun, and more sun. Anyway, we did some stuff in that sun, such as... ROCK SLIDES / CRYSTAL CREEK / WHOOSH. We visited this gorge type thingo which was home to some rock slides. What I mean by that is a spot in the gorge where the water's path goes down a small and smooth channel, safe for gliding down. Dad had a slide down, which was great. What wasn't great is that the leaf I was betting on in the Rock Slides Leaf Race didn't win. Bog. There was also a few cool rocks around the place, so I did some tarzan climbing. By th
