Приєднався 26 кві 2021
We are 'Staceys Gone Bush', a family of five from Melbourne. We started this account to share stories from our six month journey exploring central and western Australia in 2021.

A Ford Everest Trend and Austrack Tanami X15 are the centrepieces of our gear.
K'gari - Fraser Island (Series 2, Episode 11)
We adventure amongst K'gari, exploring the incredible forests, beaches, lakes and creeks of the world's largest sand island.

We end with a day and night at Rainbow Beach to get most of our mechanical issues addressed and us largely back on track.
Highlights of the locations we visit include Eli Creek, the S.S. Maheno wreck, Wanggoolba Creek at Central Station, Boorangoora (Lake McKenzie), Champagne Pools and Indian Head.
Days 73 - 78.
