We’re Natalie and Steve, the creators and managers of Curious Campers.
We’ve been travelling Australia for over 10 years and have heaps of firsthand experience on a range of destinations, tours and activities. So, if you want to ‘know before you go’, we can help you out.
From day trips and wildlife tours to accommodation reviews and local sights, we’ll share our experiences so you can put together the perfect itinerary.
How much of Australia have we seen?
We are fortunate to have lived in several parts of Australia including New South Wales, Tasmania, the Northern Territory and South Australia. But the main inspiration for Curious Campers came from a 7 month family trip around Australia. Our lap took us to every mainland state and territory in Australia.
Since our trip around Australia, we have kept travelling. We slowed down a bit as the kids went through school, but now that they are older, we have been able to get back out on the road exploring Australia.
A little about us…
When we’re not travelling, we live in the Adelaide Hills. We love being tourists in our own backyard so if you are looking for information on S.A we’re the local experts.
We love looking around the Flinders Ranges, our home region of the Adelaide Hills, Kangaroo Island, and the Limestone Coast including Mount Gambier, Robe and the Coonawarra.
Our special interest when we travel is wildlife. We’ll try to spot anything from carnivorous black snails in the Otway Ranges to manta rays on Ningaloo Reef. We’re not always successful, but we sure have fun trying!
Our other great love is the water, and we never miss a chance to get out our facemasks and snorkels and to see what is underwater. So, if you like to snorkel, we have lots of great experiences to share from Ningaloo, the Great Barrier Reef and everywhere in between!
Why ‘Curious Campers’?
The beauty of a secluded bay, the thrill of seeing an animal in the wild, the colour of an outback sunset. We all have a favourite travel memory we love talking about.
For us, the key to creating these is curiosity. What’s over that hill? Where does this track go? Will we spot an echidna here at dusk?
So, the name of our website is also our motto – Curious Campers. Does it mean everything we do on our trips is a winner? No! But it does keep our travels interesting, and it means we’ll have some great info – about the good and the not so good – to share with you.
