(2017) Timetable Science Loop Road, then Sth Aust etc
We leave soon for another motor-home trip. We plan to spend more time in some
areas that we had to skip over during our 2013 trip around
Australia. First will be a few weeks traveling
the Queensland Natural Sciences Loop Road and then through western NSW (Bourke and Broken Hill on
our way to the Flinders Ranges and Kangaroo Island (Sth Australia). After SA we
will make our way home along the Great Ocean Road through Victoria then NSW.
Clicking on the buttons in the Travelogue/Pictures column will tell of our experiences when we have visited the particular places.
