Introduction

This site contains records of several years of caravan travelling around Australia. It records our travels and provides useful information to other travellers. More than 600 photographs of many parts of Australia arranged by location give a potential visitor some idea of what to expect. Photographs and fact sheets dealing with more than 110 bird species most often seen by travellers along the road, near camping grounds or while walking in the bush or along the seashore, will assist the curious in identifying birds and finding out something about their lives. An ever-expanding collection of fact sheets dealing with places, animals, birds, land formations and reptiles encountered in Australia will often help answer those common (but too often hard to answer) questions; "What is that?" and "Why?" Narratives and daily journals of caravan trips in and around Australia include observations on the scenery and activity may be entertaining or informative to experienced or intended travellers. We trust you enjoy the results of our work. Conventions Links are indicated by blue coloured text.

This site is best viewed with screen resolution of 1024 x 768. Text pages (summaries, journals, directory and fact sheets) are satisfactory at 800 x 600 resolution but photographs may overfill the viewing area. For most convenient viewing, users may wish to minimise the page header on their screen. Users accessing this site using a low-bandwidth connection, such as a dial-up line, may find downloading photographs a lengthy process. Journal pages and most fact sheets are mainly text and should load fairly quickly, most summaries include a few photographs and may take a little longer to load.
