Day 117 – Nullarbor: Bunda Cliffs to Hancocks Lookout

5 Dec

Last day on the Nullarbor! It was a lot quicker and less painful than we had anticipated, which was nice. Nullarbor translated means no trees, and the Nullarbor Plain is exactly that. Well lots of scrub. But definitely no trees. … Read More »

Day 116 – Nullarbor, Norseman to Bunda Cliffs

4 Dec

    First day on the Nullarbor! Feels good! Pretty intensely straight roads right from the start – then we hit the 90 Mile Straight. 146km of dead straight road, the longest straight stretch in Australia. That was straight. Very … Read More »

16 Nov

From Lake Douglas we headed off back through Kalgoorlie and started on the road out to Menzies to fuel up at their self serve 24 hour fuel stop at the abandoned road house with all the number plates stapled up … Read More »

Day 90 – The Blowholes to Hamelin’s Pool

8 Nov

Our morning alarm was the sound of road trains roaring past the highway, but we were keen for an early start anyway so got straight on the road to the Blowholes – a spot north of Carnavon where the King … Read More »

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 … Read More »

Day 83 – Car repairs in Exmouth

1 Nov

Morning arrived in the caravan park at Exmouth and we watched the local emus pick through peoples campsites trying to find scraps from the night before. It’s really strange to see emus up here since we haven’t seen any in … Read More »

Day 82 – Driving Tom Price to Exmouth

31 Oct

Another 5am wake up call for Trundle (unintentional – just couldn’t get back to sleep!) to watch the sunrise from the RIP lookout over the nearby mountain range, which was spectacular. It was eerily that it was so quiet yet … Read More »

Day 81 – Karijini and car issues

30 Oct

We left for Weano Gorge from the campground in the park, which we had been told was a sealed road but turned in to graded dirt after the turnoff – however it was very smooth going for the most part! … Read More »

Day 67 – Windjana Gorge and Tunnel Creek

16 Oct

Woke up in the Derby caravan park (we arrived too late yesterday to find anything else..) to a luxurious breakfast of Kununurra mango! Amazing! And watched the resident albino peacock strut around and fuss which was hilarious. We checked out … Read More »
