Is this the best place to spend a 40th birthday? 🚐

We Spent My 40th Birthday in the Australian Outback… Not Vegas 😅 #FlindersRanges #SouthAustralia #australianoutback Welcome to Week 14 of our Australian lap adventure! 🚐🇦🇺 This week takes an unexpected turn as we leave Adelaide and head deep into the South Australian Outback to explore the incredible Flinders Ranges… but first, my husband somehow convinces us to visit one of the creepiest places we’ve experienced in Australia — Gladstone Jail 😳 Also… it’s my 40th birthday week, and instead of Vegas (where I wanted to be 😂), we celebrate surrounded by red dirt, rugged mountains, muddy kids, incredible sunsets, and an unforgettable outback adventure. One of the most amazing things we did this week was walk in the footsteps of dinosaurs and visited ancient gorges from the days of the dinosaurs. In this episode we explore: 📍 Gladstone Jail (possibly the scariest stop of our trip!) 📍 Melrose & Mount Remarkable National Park 📍 Flinders Ranges, South Australia 📍 Alpana Station – an authentic outback station stay 📍 Blinman – South Australia’s highest town 📍 Sacred Canyon Aboriginal rock engravings 📍 Bunyeroo Gorge & Razorback Lookout 🌅 Stunning outback sunsets & rainbow clouds 🦘 Wildlife spotting (did you spot the animal? Comment below!) This was one of the most memorable weeks of our family road trip around Australia — from creepy jail vibes to spectacular mountain hikes and muddy birthday memories in the outback. 💬 Did you spot the hidden animal in this video?
