Day 119 – The last day! Horsham to Canberra… Home!

Smash somehow woke us up from the comfort of our cozy bed at the Rasmussen abode at 5am (yes, 5am!) and we left Ian to sleep in and got on the road super early to tackle our 902km day. Trundle...

Day 85 – Ningaloo Reef Bay Loop snorkel at Turquoise Bay

Monday morning and we were all go go go to try organise a replacement hire car whilst the Renault was out of action as Exmouth was wearing a bit thin for us. The mechanic called and said he’d discovered that...

Day 80 – Port Hedland to Karijini National Park

Unfortunately we’d had a pretty terrible nights sleep due to the terrifying sound of the tide roaring in just below our camp. It had risen from 0.6 metres to 5.8 metres in 6 hours during the night – yikes! And...
