Dubbo

A town not too close to home that we have now visited the first time in our life, though camping in Australia since 1998.Why (not)? Dubbo is a small country town in the West of New South Wales, Australia. Some people know this town only by passing between Melbourne or Adelaide visiting their families at Christmas during the longer Xmas vacations: A typical Stop Over Country Town. Why (not) live in Dubbo? We were interested to find about the past and visited the Old Dubbo Goal (jail), where about 150 executions are nicely documented between 1865 and 1930. Interesting, indeed … The colonial past of Australia. Another highlight is the unique open plan Zoo in Dubbo. And last not least the Flying Doctors Service life and in Action on large screen. Now you know, why a stop over on the roads to Melbourne or Brisbane is a great idea. Where to stay? There are huts on the camp sites there, we used the G‘Day Parks. With our best wishes and more on our Blogs With our kind wishes from the Gold Coast Peter Hanns with Maria Ines Linked Updated Fri 24 Jan 2025.

Walkabout

New South Wales in Australia. Coffs Coast | Credit phb A Lifetime of Camping Adventures: From Holstein to the World At 75 years young, my passion for camping has remained a steadfast companion throughout my life. It all began when I was 9 years old, embarking on simple camping trips from Holstein in North Germany with my family. Our trusty VW Beetle and a small tent designed for five people were all we needed to create lasting memories under the open sky at the Baltic Sea near Flensburg. The Early Days in Germany Holstein, with its serene landscapes and rolling hills, was the perfect backdrop for my introduction to the outdoors. Our family camping trips were a blend of simplicity and adventure. We explored lush forests by hiking, serene lakes, and charming small villages and farmland, each trip etching itself into my memory. The smell of pine and oak trees and the sound of crackling campfires became synonymous with happiness and freedom. Expanding Horizons in Europe As I grew older, my camping journeys expanded beyond Germany, taking me across Europe. From the majestic Alps in Switzerland to the picturesque fjords of Norway, each destination offered a unique experience. I learned to appreciate the diversity of nature, from the sun-kissed beaches of Spain to the rugged coastlines of Britain, where I stayed a full calender year. My adventures in Europe were marked…
