# The Grapevine

The Grapevine is a corridor along Interstate 5 in Kern County in California's San Joaquin Valley that descends from the Tehachapi Mountains through Grapevine Canyon. Traditionally the Grapevine has included the route from the town of Lebec down to the town of Grapevine, although for organizational purposes this article also includes the nearby towns of Gorman, Frazier Park, and Wheeler Ridge.

## Understand

The Grapevine is a route that leads through Grapevine Canyon, descending at a six percent grade from the summit of Tejon Pass to the valley below. The original steep and winding route was famous for its accidents until it was widened and straightened during 1933-34.

## Get in

Travelers on I-5 arrive from Los Angeles in the south or Buttonwillow to the north. Highway 99 branches off of the interstate heading north towards Bakersfield. During the winter the top of the route is frequently closed by snow, creating long delays (the main alternative route is Highway 101 to the west).

# Alès

Alès is a small town in Languedoc-Roussillon, France.
Although known as the capital of the Cevennes, you may have a hard time getting to Alès, partly because it's off the well-trod tourist track, and partly because everyone will assume you want to go to nearby, and bigger, Arles.
Tourism Office (open 09:00-12:00, 13:30-17:30) Place de l'Hôtel de Ville - BP 345 - 30115 Alès Cedex. 04 66 52 32 15 - Fax. 04 66 52 57 09

# Île Amsterdam

Île Amsterdam (translates to Amsterdam Island) is a mostly uninhabited island of the Indian Ocean, far from almost everywhere. Together with Île Saint-Paul, it forms a district of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands. Its only settlement is a research station.

## Settlements

* -37.877.5666671 Martin-de-Viviès – research station, home to about 30 researchers at any given time

## Understand

Firstly, you'll need to understand that Île Amsterdam is very difficult to reach. The closest piece of land to the island is Île Saint-Paul, which is about 85 km (53 mi) southwest, which also has a population of zero (except for the researchers). About 1400 km further south is Kerguelen, the closest piece of inhabited land, but also mainly the seasonal home of researchers. Otherwise, the closest inhabited pieces are Madagascar, mainland Australia, Réunion and several East African Islands or the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, all about 3000 km away.

### Climate

The climate is usually cold all-year around, ranging between the tens. It mostly rains during the winter months.

### Visitor information

* Official website (in French)

## Get in

There is no air service, and only a small landing pier at Martin-de-Viviès. This is visited four times a year by the support ship Marion Dufresne, which starts from Réunion and visits Crozet Islands, Kerguelen, Île Saint-Paul then Île Amsterdam and back to Réunion. Until 2019 tourist berths were available on these sailings; they were suspended because of Covid and in 2024 it was announced that they will not resume.

## Get around

There are a few roads near Martin-de-Viviès but that's all. There aren't many so it's just easier to get around the entire island by walking or hiking.

## See and do

* -37.8577.51671 Falaises d'Entrecasteaux. Straddling the island's west coast, these cliffs reach heights of over 700 metres and the site has been identified as an Important Bird Area (IBA).

# Nilpena Ediacara National Park

Nilpena Ediacara National Park is a national park in the South Australian Outback. It's one of South Australia's newest national parks, only proclaimed in June 2021, but only opened in early 2023 when visitor facilities were built. The park includes the former Ediacara Conservation Park as well as another 60,000 hectares and is home to some of the earliest animal life anywhere found in the world.
Nilpena Ediacara National Park is rather one unique park, home to fossils from over 500 million years ago — long before dinosaurs roamed the planet. Fossils here have helped discover earliest complex animal life on Earth.

## Understand
### History

The Ediacara Conservation Park was proclaimed on 26 April 2007 over land of what had been declared as a conservation reserve in 1993 and as a fossil reserve in 1958. In March 2019, the Government of South Australia purchased 60,000 hectares (150,000 acres) of adjacent land from the Nilpena Pastoral Company to enlarge the conservation park by ten times, and so the park now extends as far as Lake Torrens National Park.
In June 2021, the entire area was reclassified and proclaimed as Nilpena Ediacara National Park. A visitor hub and Ediacara Fossil experience were developed in 2021, expected to open in early 2023.

### Visitor information

* Park website

## Get in

From the South Australian capital of Adelaide, head north on the M2 Northern Connector and then exit onto the A1 Port Wakefield Rd. Continue on that road up for about three hours up until just before Port Augusta, where you'll turn onto B83 Flinders Ranges Way, continue for about 220 km. Then once you're at Beltana Station, you will see a huge gateway welcoming you to the park.
Access to the park will also only be done via guided tours. See § Get around for more about that.

## Fees and permits

See #Get around.

## Get around

You are only allowed to visit the park on a guided tour that requires bookings in advance (which can be made on the park website). Tours only operate on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays and cost $80 per person.

## See

* Alice's Restaurant Bed. The name of this fossil bed dates back to the 1960s, when Arlo Guthrie released a song called "Alice’s Restaurant", which was about being able to get whatever you want at a restaurant. That context was put into this fossil bed when paleontologists found those fossils. (updated Dec 2021)
* -30.84491138.145491 Randell Lookout will be a lookout constructed at a peak. It's unclear what you'll see from the lookout, though.

## Eat and drink

## Sleep

The town has a largely sea-change or retired resident population, with some residents even doing the daily commute down the highway to Port Lincoln.

## Get in
