    Murchison House Station and Kalbarri NP

    7.–9. Apr. 2024 in Australien ⋅ 🌬 29 °C

    This is where we well and truly hit the heat (37 degrees!) and the flies (in the millions!). The fly nets and 12V fans had a great workout so that we still managed to enjoy camping on the Murchison River at Murchison House Station, a working goat station founded way back in 1858.

    We visited Kalbarri National Park, owned by the Nanda people, braving the Skywalk in gale force winds and marvelling the Murchison River Gorge and stunning sandstone rock formations from various (also windy!) look out points. Taking advantage of the car aircon, we drove down south to Port Gregory to see the incredible Hutt Lagoon, a pink lake with salt levels around 10 times higher than the ocean! When exposed to sunlight, the beta carotene created by underwater algae gives the lake its pink colour.

    The ocean inlet at Kalbarri was the perfect swimming spot to cool off in the afternoon. We were excited to spot two emus as they headed down for a swim in the ocean on the opposite side of the inlet.    Weiterlesen

    Pinnacles & Sandy Cape, Turquoise Coast

    4.–7. Apr. 2024 in Australien ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    We turned right at Perth and headed 2 hours up north to Sandy Cape on the Turquoise Coast, but spent the first couple of days upgrading/fixing our caravan. Lucky for us, Timo had identified some improvements that would set us up much better for the rougher and more remote roads ahead.

    And so, with some shiny new bits on our caravan, we were free to explore this beautiful piece of the country. First stop was the Pinnacles in the Nambung National Park, a yellow sandy desert filled with impressive limestone formations of various shapes and sizes. Then onto Lake Thetis to see 3.5 billion-year-old Stromatolites, the oldest lifeforms on our planet!

    We spent the rest of our time on the coast, known for its abundant lobsters, great fishing and mounds of smelly sea grass. Our SUP came out for its maiden voyage of the trip as we enjoyed swimming in an ocean that felt about 20 degrees warmer than the south coast; at least until 4 out of the 5 of us were stung by what we think were tiny little jelly fish!

    Wave Rock and bush stopover

    3.–4. Apr. 2024 in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    When Timo travelled to Australia for the first time, he saw a picture of Wave Rock in his travel guide. He checked to see where it was, hoping to add it to his itinerary, and resigned himself to the fact that it was something he likely would never see. So it was pretty special to make it here after all, 23 years later.

    The Dreamtime story explains that Wave Rock, called Katter Kich by the Ballerdong people, was created when the rainbow serpent moved along the rock after drinking all of the water in the land. It’s the wave shaped wall of Hyden Rock, the biggest of a few granite outcrops in the area.    Weiterlesen

    Hopetoun and Fitzgerald River NP

    31. März–3. Apr. 2024 in Australien ⋅ 🌬 19 °C

    After a really busy start to our road trip we enjoyed a relaxing break in Hopetoun, sipping morning coffee by the ocean, sampling the local bakery, jogging on the beach and fishing on the jetty.

    We loved exploring Fitzgerald River National Park, climbing Mount Barren and hanging out at the beautiful Barren’s Beach. It looked like it would have been great for snorkelling, but was too cold for us to find out! Looking forward to warmer weather and hopefully much warmer water on the west coast!Weiterlesen

    Cape Le Grand National Park

    29.–31. März 2024 in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C

    We were absolutely blown away by the bright white sand and crystal clear turquoise waters down here on the WA South Coast. Felt like every new beach, bay and cove was more beautiful than the last. The water was cold and there were tourists galore (Easter long weekend!), but otherwise perfect hot, sunny weather and no wind!

    We climbed the 345m Frenchman Peak for a magnificent 360 degree view of Cape Le Grand National Park and of the many rocky islands dotted along the mainland. There was a massive cave in the granite rock at the top of the peak, the result of ocean wave erosion 40 million years ago when the sea level was 250m higher than it is today.

    The rest of our time was split between Lucky Bay, Hellfire Bay, Thistle Bay and Wharton Beach in the ocean and playing on the sand dunes. Wish we could have stayed longer!    Weiterlesen

    The Nullarbor: Newman Rock

    28.–29. März 2024 in Australien ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C

    Day 2 crossing the Nullarbor we stopped off in Cocklebiddy to visit Samantha and Bruce, wedgetail eagles who were injured by trucks, rescued by Parks and Wildlife and are unable to return to the wild due to their injuries. Quite special seeing them up close as we have marvelled a few wild wedgetails on our travels so far.

    Also enjoyed teeing up on the ‘90 Mile Straight’ hole of the Nullarbor Links golf course, discovering we all need some lessons if we ever hope to play golf for real!

    Ended the day at another beautiful ‘off the highway’ bush campsite at Newman Rock.    Weiterlesen

    The Nullarbor: Bunda Cliffs

    27.–28. März 2024 in Australien ⋅ 🌬 20 °C

    Crossing the Nullarbor… endless flat plains, wind and dust galore, but so exciting to be here. Spectacular campsite right on the Bunda Cliffs, a massive cliff face that we were able to fully appreciate with the help of Josh’s drone. Our favourite campsite so far for its remoteness and beauty. (Not for its winds which kept me up all night!!)

    Have been scanning the outback plains in all directions for camels, but no luck yet. Wildlife we have seen includes a range of birds and a cute little desert mouse.    Weiterlesen

    Streaky Bay, Eyre Peninsula

    24.–27. März 2024 in Australien ⋅ 🌬 19 °C

    Our time on the Eyre Peninsula coincided with a cold front and strong winds pulling through. While it wasn’t the snorkelling paradise that we had hoped for, we were gifted beautiful blue skies and had a great time visiting the sights in and around Streaky Bay.

    First stop were the Whistling Rocks and Blowholes, at the end of a 360m boardwalk through the sand dunes on the Cape Bauer Loop. Next, we wandered through (and over) Murphys Haystacks, impressively large 1500-million-year-old granite rock formations (Inselberg) located on an inland farm.

    Then off to see the Australian mainland’s only permanent colony of sea lions at the Point Labatt Conservation Park. The sea lions sunning on the rocks put on a great show for us, moving in and out of the water and rolling around on the rocks.

    We relaxed while watching the surfers at the beautiful, rocky Granites beach and then headed back to Streaky Bay to eat ice cream and wander down the long jetty for a swim.    Weiterlesen

    Bush stopover

    23.–24. März 2024 in Australien ⋅ 🌬 18 °C

    Beautiful little spot just off the highway for our first bush camp. Josh had a great time building a fire and taking his drone out for its first flight of the trip.

    Just as we were all commenting on the lack of wildlife as we drove out in the morning, an emu crossed the road right in front of us! One of hundreds we spotted along the NSW/VIC/SA outback plains, but the first one close up!!

    Another highlight was driving past the four race leaders of this year’s Indian Pacific Wheel Ride, a gruelling 5,500km road cycling race from Perth to Sydney, on the Eyre Highway.    Weiterlesen

    Nice little oasis in the midst of the endless flat plains and straight roads of the NSW outback. Emus galore and lots of cotton crops, but not much else!

    Hay had one of the largest WWI enlistment rates for an Australian small town, with 641 men serving. In memory of this service, the town built the Hay War Memorial High School which opened on Anzac Day in 1923.Weiterlesen
