    I would love to begin 2013 with a trip to Australia’s Southwest, the Capes, and around to Albany, Esperance and across the Nullarbor. Then north from Port Augusta, through the centre, and across Queensland to the far Northeast for the winter, and back around the north and through the Kimberley and south for the Spring Wildflower season! <3

      It’s great to see some wildflowers that can’t be found anywhere else in the world.

    After travelling to the Birdsville Races via Broken Hill on the way up and The Birdsville Track on the way back – ive taken a huge interest in the working life of Tom Kruse. I’d love to be able to get to The Birdswood Museum to see ‘The Badger’.

      Tom Kruse was such an intrepid Aussie character. He would have seen so much of Australia that many never get to see!

    I would love to try out our new camper trailer on a trip across the Nullarbor from East to West. We have flown to Perth in the past but have never gotten over the sheer vastness of our great land, so much so that we want to see what’s out there.

    • http://www.exploreaustralia.net.au ExploreAustralia

      We hear some people say the Nullarbor is a boring trip, but we completely disagree. It’s such a uniquely Aussie drive!

  • Cornor

    Our dream is to experience as many wonders that QLD can offer us in 2013. We enjoy the unique bushland that changes from k to k.
