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 117 – Nullarbor: Bunda Cliffs to Hancocks Lookout

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....

Day 116 – Nullarbor, Norseman to Bunda Cliffs

    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...

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...

Day 83 – Car repairs in Exmouth

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...

Day 82 – Driving Tom Price to Exmouth

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...

Day 81 – Karijini and car issues

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!...

Day 67 – Windjana Gorge and Tunnel Creek

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...
