With a background in Digital Tourism I have to say that I expected to find some pretty good maps when googling for ‘Digital maps Australia’. As we are in the planning stages I am trying to find out which roads are sealed and which roads are NOT! Sounds easy right? Haha. I have now been […]

Living the dream exploring Australia
G’day, we are Warrick, Fabienne, Celeste and Charlotte, an Aussie family who is 9 months into a 2 year roadtrip around Australia to explore the extraordinary beauty our continent has to offer.

LARC Amphibious adventures
We spent an afternoon with Neil Mergard, owner of the LARC in 1770…. This is his story. On a cool factor, from 1 to 10, what is it like to drive the LARC? That’s a pretty obvious one isn’t it? Straight up. It has to be a 10 for sure. What else does it? Nothing […]

The beachfront aspect of the park is a big winner. The beach is clean and has a great point break for surfing or stand up paddling. There is a grassy knoll between the park and beach where you can take a camp chair and read a book or have nice picnic in the shade.
The cafe has million dollar views of the beach and is a great place to have a morning pick me up of fresh tasty coffee or fill your belly with a mountain of pancakes.
Lifesaver Local Knowledge

I like coming to the beach every day, working by the ocean, giving information, helping out people, telling people where to swim, […]
