🤩Step into a dreamlike underground world at Tantanoola Caves, where nature’s brilliance shines in breathtaking shades of pinks, whites, and browns! This spectacular limestone cave, tucked in South Australia’s Limestone Coast, is literally a hidden treasure!

Once an ancient ocean bed, the cave was shaped over millions of years, leaving behind seashells, pebbles, and even seal bones! But its discovery? Pure luck! A young boy once upon a time stumbled upon this natural wonder while out with his ferret - talk about finding more than a rabbit!

Today, you can explore this magical cave on a guided tour, where expert guides bring its geology and history to life. With easy access (one of the few wheelchair-friendly caves in Australia!) and an affordable family entry, it’s a must-see. Mount Gambier, another popular location brimming with things to explore, is just 35 km away. Tantanoola is situated between Adelaide (420 km) and Melbourne (470 km); add it to your list when in the region. Pssst - many have even said it's one of the most beautiful caves they've seen in Australia!

🦘On the outskirts of Alice Springs, a sanctuary offers second chances and renewed hope for one of Australia’s most beloved marsupials. The Kangaroo Sanctuary is a 188-acre refuge in Alice Springs that is a lifeline for orphaned and injured kangaroos.

Steered by the passion of Chris “Brolga” Barns, the charismatic figure behind the television series Kangaroo Dundee, every sunset tour becomes a lesson in resilience and kindness. He invites you to walk his world, share in his work, and hold the future—small, warm, and furry—in your arms. It’s not just a tour; it’s an invitation to understand, care, and be part of something profound. ✨

You can directly support The Kangaroo Sanctuary’s work of rescuing and caring for baby and adult kangaroos by making a donation!

☀️🌴READY, SET, ESCAPE…to Desert Palms Alice Springs! https://jumpon.online/hotel/desert-palms-alice-springs

When it comes to finding a place to stay in Alice Springs, the Desert Palms isn’t just accommodation—it’s an experience that adds its own personality to your adventure in the heart of Australia. Think Palm Springs but swap out the Hollywood sparkle for a distinctly Outback flair, where the backdrop is all rugged landscapes, and the atmosphere strikes a perfect chord between laid-back and unmistakably Aussie.

Desert Palms close location to town makes it ideally placed to access the town’s cultural landmarks, restaurants, and natural attractions, all while offering self-contained studio villas designed for both comfort and convenience. Each one feels private and personal, with air conditioning to tackle the desert heat, a kitchenette for whipping up a quick snack, and private verandas that practically beg you to kick back and unwind after a day of exploring. And when the heat takes its toll, the palm-fringed pool is a welcome oasis on standby to recharge and refresh.

Desert Palms Alice Springs doesn’t try to dress itself up as anything it’s not; what you get is authenticity, comfort, and an atmosphere that’s all about making your stay more effortless. It trades the sleek pool parties of its Californian counterpart for something far more grounded—more you. It’s Aussie to its core and the perfect base camp for your Outback adventures.

☀️Just a few hours from Melbourne, along winding country roads lined with rolling green paddocks, lies Metung—a seaside village where life slows to the rhythm of the water. Here, mornings start with the gentle hum of boats gliding across the Gippsland Lakes, anglers cast lines with quiet hope, while others sip coffee on sun-dappled decks.

This is a place where your muscles will thank you, too. At the Metung Hot Springs, tucked into a hillside overlooking the lakes, mineral-rich waters bubble up from the depths—a pocket of earth offering pure, unhurried bliss. Sink in and unwind, or, for the more curious, explore the range of treatments designed to soothe, reset, and recharge.

A different kind of stretch awaits at the Metung Country Club. Its 9-hole golf course isn’t just for pros polishing their swing; it beckons anyone willing to swap city noise for the rustle of gum trees framing meticulously tended fairways. It’s less about competition, more about peace punctuated by the satisfying "thwack" of a well-hit ball.

Strolls along the boardwalk reveal the soul of Metung—a waterfront dotted with inviting eateries, boats bobbing lazily in their moorings, and the occasional laughter of kids splashing by the shore.

Metung isn’t loud about its charm—it doesn’t need to be. It whispers through the breeze coming off the lakes, the warm smiles of locals, and the sense, as you drive back out, that you’ve walked straight into a postcard you’ll never forget.
