Day 19 – 8,252 KM. Town 28: The first destination for today was Brindabella. Brindabella is located some 68 KM west of Canberra and with clear blue skies above I was optimistic of a good journey as I set out. However, without warning when about to reach the peek of a...
Day 18 – 7,982 KM. Town 27: Wollondilly is not actually a town but a shire consisting of some 27 town, villages and locales. I decide to visit the ‘capital’ of the shire – Picton. Picton is some 80 KM south of Sydney and driving through the town is...
Day 18 – 8,116 KM. Town 26: After much research, I managed to locate Yarra Yarra as being a parish within Goulburn County in NSW. Source: Geographical Names Board of NSW with thanks to Mr Barker. Sadly the only trace I could find of Yarra Yarra was a single signpost...
Day 18 – 8,025 KM. Town 25: After stopping at Picton it was off to Canberra with a couple of stops before arrival, the first one being at Mittagong. Mittagong is a larger town with a population of around 7,500 and can be reached by taking a turn down the old Hume...
On my trip from Rocky to Gin Gin I came across my first Driver Reviver station where I was met by Peter (an exchange student from Sweden) and locals Glenn and Ken. These three jovial folk were happy to share a tale or two and also serve me with free coffee and...
Day 17 – 7,816 KM. Town 24: Tuggerawong is another of those places near to me that I have not previously visited. Its a little gem. Small and sleepy by nature this suburb is located on the western banks of Tuggerah Lake. The lake is also connected with two...
DAY 16 – 7,758 KM. Town 23: Ettalong is one of those places that is just on my door step but I’ve only visited there three or four times previously. It is located on the New South Wales Central Coast (central as half way between Sydney and Newcastle) and...
DAY 15 – 7,704 KM. Town 22: This is addictive! I’ve been home for 3 days and I’ve already had the urge to go and visit another of the ‘Ive been everywhere’ locations. I’ve been sensible though and just returned from a local trip to...
When touring around Australia I guess the initial thought is to do the trip in an old trusty (or is that rusty) VW Kombi Van. However, I don’t have one and with the high average age and milage of such vehicles, I’m not sure they are that trusty. When my...
After 14 days and 7,644 kilometres I have managed to visit 20 of the 93 ‘I’ve been everywhere’ destinations. Thankfully some of these 20 locations were in some of the more remote parts of Australia with many of the remaining 73 locations being...
