A 4 Day Itinerary on Kangaroo Island
Bobby grew up on Kangaroo Island in South Australia, affectionately called KI by locals.

Driving from Alice Springs to Darwin is long, dry, and hot, but there are some great stopping points along the way! Break up the trek with these national parks, hot springs, and historic spots.

Camping in the MacDonnell Ranges
After waiting out some rain in Alice Springs, we were searching for some good hiking and camping in the Red Centre. We had a few days to kill until our friends arrived to explore Uluru with us.
