From surf to sand, explore the gentle edges of Australia’s coast with us,.
There’s something about Australia’s coastline that never gets old.
The salt, the light, the way small towns lean into the sea and everyone knows when the tide’s turning.
These are the places we slow down for sometimes, just for a swim and fish and chips, sometimes for weeks.
A quick coastal stop turned into seven relaxing days camped beneath palms in Seaforth. Beach swims for Zoe, fresh scones, friendly neighbours, and a kangaroo tourism reality check made this one of our favourite unexpected stays.
A roadside rescue, a closed pub, and a peaceful night in St Lawrence. Our trip from Rockhampton to Mackay was a reminder to slow down, lend a hand, and savour the road’s unexpected moments.
Mindil Beach Markets is more than just a market—it’s an experience that captures the spirit of Darwin.
Dundee Beach is a laid-back coastal escape where sunsets steal the show. With fishing boats bobbing offshore, soft sand underfoot, and that endless Territory sky, it’s the perfect spot to pause and breathe.
Riding through Dhilba Guuranda–Innes National Park gave us windswept cliffs, hidden coves, and open coastal roads — the kind of day that sticks with you. Our motorbikes made it even better.
Coastal charm, striking silo art, and a slice of history! Our loop through Stansbury, Edithburgh and Wool Bay gave us quiet beaches, quirky sculptures, and a deeper look at South Australia’s hardworking past.
Port Willunga gave us the perfect blend of beach time, wine country rides, and coastal charm. From vineyard-hopping on the bikes to salty swims and surreal art, this stay was all about slowing down and soaking in.
We explored the world’s largest sand island with K’gari Explorer Tours, hitting all the highlights in one unforgettable day. Clear lakes, lush rainforest, wild beaches and even a scenic flight over the island.
Beach strolls, market browsing and a breathtaking afternoon spotting whales off K’gari. Hervey Bay gave us sun, salt air and sea life in spades. It’s a relaxed spot that delivered more than we expected.
A few days around Yeppoon gave us time to reset with a cave tour, a solid brunch by the sea, and just enough space to slow down before rolling into the next leg of the journey.
Tilba Tilba cheese, Bermagui’s Blue Pool, and tall pub stories marked the moment we started finding our rhythm on the road — and learned that good cheese might just be worth every detour.
In Merimbula, we traded busy travel for slow days by the sea. We fixed our first flat tyre, ate oysters by the dozen, and learned that quiet time can be the best part of the trip.
Our first motorhome trip from Geelong to Eden was equal parts chaos and discovery. We packed too much, sang off-key in a winery, and learned fast that the road has its own rhythm.
Camping at Newell Beach set the scene for exploring Mossman. We browsed markets, braved Mossman Gorge, detoured back to Cairns on a stunning coastal drive (with a giggle at Yorky’s Knob), before heading inland towards Cooktown.
