Sometimes, oh and without warning of course, the whole town just separates from the mainland and becomes an island for a few months…so you want to watch out for that.
and the largest gator (sorry…CROC…because it matters while it’s eating you…) ever caught in the history of the planet? Yeah, right down the road.

Welcome to Karumba
Tiffany’s been having a craving for rice pudding lately. For some weird reason she gets this craving every few months (this and Mexican food. Nope, not supposed to make sense). In our previous lives this was easily and promptly solved by a trip to Trader Joe’s…
Unfortunately for her, they have not yet expanded to Australia. So she took her tastebuds online. Now, Tiffany prides herself as a rather “uncomplicated” cook. She can cook, and very well thank you, but generally she looks for what both Greg and her agree are the “3 hallmarks of good food” –

Downside, it’s hard to go wine tasting when your wheels decide it’s time for retirement in mid-trip. And led us to get creative in our transportation options
However even with the limited exploration range and curtailed time frame, SA did surprisingly well. (to be fair, we had the inside scoop)
Sydney, the Blue Mountains, Bondi beach and an Opera house – New South Wales is pretty much what all of us think of when we hear the word “Australia.”
Between driving the coast, bumming around Sydney and working in the ski resorts, we spent a good amount of time here and got to taste our way around. We even got a chance to check out their most famous wine region: The Hunter Valley.
New South Wales was also the first time we found a grog that 2 sailors would choose to pour out instead of drink. So, from our highest rating to inventing a new low there was quite a spread for New South Wales:
