• Rottnest Island

    2019年7月10日, オーストラリア ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    We went to Fremantle and caught the ferry to Rottnest Island. The hop-on hop-off bus was very crowded at first but quite a lot of people got off at the early stops. We saw quokkas, ospreys, seals, peacocks, seagulls, and crows. On the way back the boat had to slow as apparently there were whales, but we didn't see them. Rottnest has solar and wind power and tank water, only the vehicles use diesel.もっと詳しく

  • Coogee Beach

    2019年7月11日, オーストラリア ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C

    We were offered our accommodation at a greatly reduced rate for an extra night so we took advantage and had a relaxed day. We walked from Woodman Point to Coogee Beach, then back, and drove the car back to Coogee! Morning tea at the beach, then back to the unit where we sorted out all our maps and planned the next week or two.もっと詳しく

  • Coogee to Bunbury

    2019年7月12日, オーストラリア ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    A chilly morning and it didn't really warm up all day. We went south through Kwinana and Mandurah then inland to the Harvey Dam where we had morning tea. There were lots of parrots and butterflies. We walked up to and along the dam wall. The area had lots of livestock - sheep, beef and dairy cattle, pigs and alpacas. We didn't see much of Bunbury except the waterfront so we'll go for a walk tomorrow.もっと詳しく

  • Walpole via Bridgetown

    2019年7月15日, オーストラリア ⋅ ⛅ 11 °C

    We ran out of south- west today, visiting Cape Leeuwin where the Indian Ocean meets the Southern Ocean. Thete were whales swimming past but a long way out. We had lunch at Bridgetown then stopped in Shannon National Park to look at some Karri trees about 85 metres high and thought to be over 300 years old. Staying the night at Walpole YHA.もっと詳しく

  • Walpole to Esperance

    2019年7月16日, オーストラリア ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C

    This morning we did the Valley of the Giants treetop walk through red and yellow tingle trees as well as lots of other native plants. It is also quokka habitat but it was morning so we didn't see any. We went on to Albany for a quick look at the silo art, more at Ravensthorpe, then drove to Esperance. It's the first time we have arrived in the dark but our accommodation gave us a free night as some of the showers weren't working.もっと詳しく

  • Esperance to Fraser Range Station

    2019年7月17日, オーストラリア

    A little while after starting off this morning we decided the car sounded a little 'whiney'. After investigating under the bonnet at a service station we phoned the RAC. The mechanic who came suggested we were burning oil so go to see another mechanic, who put oil in, suggested a sevice when we get across the Nullarbor and that we get more oil. That meant going down the road to Repco, after which we stopped at Bunnings for coffee as it was close. No more noise from the car but we took it slowly to Norseman. Lovely salmon gums along the way (and a place called Salmon Gums). Norseman was named after an early goldminer's horse - the street signs have a horse and a gold nugget on them.もっと詳しく

  • Ceduna to Port Lincoln

    2019年7月20日, オーストラリア ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

    A bit windy when we left Ceduna, but quite nice at Streaky Bay where we stopped for morning tea. There were the most aggressive seagulls we've ever encountered and staff said a few things had been snatched the day before. We walked along the jetty then did a side trip to Murphy's Haystacks at Mortana. Another jetty walk at Elliston then stopped for the night at Port Lincoln.もっと詳しく

  • Port Lincoln to Clare

    2019年7月21日, オーストラリア ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C

    Lots of cereal crops and sheep on the Eyre Peninsula then the contrast of Whyalla, which was very industrial. We went up Hummock Hill lookout for a great view of the city and the Spencer Gulf. We had lunch at Port Augusta and our walk along the jetty. We took the Horrocks Pass road through the Flinders Ranges, stopping at a monument to the Goyder Line, then on to Clare for the night.もっと詳しく

  • Cunnamulla to Goondiwindi

    2019年7月28日, オーストラリア ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C

    Around 7 degrees when we left Cunnamulla but it felt warmer. We couldn't find a rest area within 100km so we just pulled off the road for breakfast. Of course there was a truck pullover spot 13km later! We had lunch at St George at a pub with a fireplace in the beer garden - seemed to be a very popular spot just across from the river. Although this was the Adventure Way, the road was not in good condition. Saw a few dead feral pigs on the side of the road and lots of live emus.もっと詳しく
