Central Australia adventure 1 -the coastal run

Adventure, Australia, Motorbikes, photography, South Australia, travel, Victoria 1 Minute

Coming over the top of the Otway Ranges from Forest

The view from Beacon Lookout over Apollo Bay is a must stop before making the final descent to the Great Ocean Road

I’ve written about this iconic roadway.

But on a windy day the sea around the monoliths at Port Campbell is foaming white.

Crossing the border into South Australia, the pretty fishing town of Beachport provided a pleasant stop

The Coorong is for me one of the most beautiful and mystical parts of Australia

A string of saline lakes separated from the Southern Ocean by huge sand dunes.

At the southern end the lakes are dry salt pans which gather water as one travels north toward the mouth of the Murray River

Crossing the Murray River near where it forms its estuary and the Coorong connects back to the Southern Ocean

At Cape Jervis which overlooks Kangaroo Island it was time to turn in land

And to night the Flinders Ranges are within striking distance and the vista has turned from sea blue to straw yellow

And the buildings in the small towns are of hard stones

And the sunset starting to gain a desert hue

Tomorrow its further inland to the Flinders Ranges!

        Well, safe travels, my friend! Keep the pictures coming. I love seeing photos of Australia.

  2. D.Madland – Oakland, CA – I love to ride my motorcycle, but I love it even more when I'm riding towards a new place to explore. Camping, backpacking and motorcycles are a perfect threesome in my eyes. Hot coffee, sunrises, ghost towns, trail heads, red rocks, desert oddities, UFOs, and Big Foot are all topics you might hear about in my journeys. My hope is to inspire women motorcyclists to get out there and as Nike so aptly put it: "Just Do It".
