Day 1 Driving
14 kwietnia 2019, Australia ⋅ 🌙 21 °C
The first day of our second Aussie road trip was pretty boring. We drove 870km, an 11 hour drive, all the way from Dromana to just past Adelaide in South Australia. We stopped at a free camp in a town called Lower Light for the night to get some rest for another long drive the next day. Czytaj więcej

Day 2 South Australia
15 kwietnia 2019, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C
This day was also mostly driving with a few stops along the way:
We visited the Wadlata Visitor Information Centre and a giant water tower in Port Augusta. At Kimba we took a picture of the silo mural art and the Giant Galah. Kimba is the halfway point of Australia, (exactly halfway between Sydney and Perth).
We finished up at a free camp right on the beach called Walker's Rocks and put the crab net in down near the rocks. Czytaj więcej

Day 3 Walker's Rocks Campground
16 kwietnia 2019, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
Today we decided to stay at the campground to take a break from the long drives and just to enjoy the area.
First Dad and I went to collect the crab net which was out of the water because of the low tide and didn't have anything in it. Next we went off to the beach to go fishing with Dad while the others went swimming, but sadly we didn't catch anything.
After packing up the fishing rods we went for a walk around the beach where we found a bright orange starfish.
Dad wanted to go on a bike ride down the road to see some geese so that's what we did. I tried to catch one but surprisingly it got away.
After getting back we had dinner then played a game of UNO which Dad kept winning. It was a great day. Czytaj więcej

Day 4 Elliston to Ceduna
17 kwietnia 2019, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
Today we were back on the road getting closer to the Nullabor.
We packed up from the Walker's Rock Campground in the morning and said some goodbyes to some people we had met while there.
Once on the road we stopped at a landmark named Murphy's Haystack for some pictures and stopped at Streaky Bay for lunch on the beach while being entertained by a group of friendly seagulls.
At last we arrived at a Big 4 caravan park in Ceduna. Tomorrow we start on the Nullabor. Czytaj więcej

Day 5 The Nullabor
18 kwietnia 2019, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
To start off the day we packed up the caravan and headed out to a giant display of windmills, which included Australia's biggest windmill and smallest windmill. There was also a swing that pumped out water. This was the last town before we started on the Nullabor.
While driving we detoured for some fun, to a huge area of sand dunes. The sand dunes were huge. We whipped out our boogie boards and, well sort of bolted up the giant dunes. (It was more like clambered up the dunes). They were so steep but is was still really fun apart from the steep climbing and getting covered with sand.
The sand dunes were next to a place called Fowler's Bay where we had lunch and noticed some particularly strange lollies, "Camel Balls" and "Bulls Balls" so I thought "why not?" and bought a couple. (They tasted ok).
Back on the road and Mum made us stop to get a picture of a sign with a Camel, Kangaroo and a Wombat over the words "next 92 km".
The last spot we stopped at was a whale watching place at the head of the Great Australian Bight. We didn't see any whales or dolphins but the views were amazing. We ended up stopping about half way through the Nullabor at a small free camp where we had a nice little fire and relaxed outside,
Tomorrow we arrive in Western Australia. Czytaj więcej

Day 6 Across the Nullabor
19 kwietnia 2019, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
When I first heard about the Nullabor I imagined it being barren desert and boring. It was a long, mostly straight road but it had lots of shrubs and an abundance of road kill to keep us busy counting. Between Jess, Ryley and myself we counted over 160 dead kangaroos.
In total today we drove for about 8 hours, stopping at roadhouses and viewing areas for a break. We stopped at a special Roadhouse on the border between South and Western Australia with a sign showing different cities from around the world and the distance between them. There was also a giant kangaroo holding a jar of Vegemite that was pretty cool.
A few Quarantine Officers went through all our stuff, but thankfully they didn't touch my special peanut butter, unfortunately the carrots also got through.
We are now in Western Australia at a free camp near a town called Balladonia where we played guitar by the fire outside, it was a good day. Czytaj więcej

Day 7 Esperance
20 kwietnia 2019, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C
A lot of driving today to get to our goal destination of Esperance.
Along the way we stopped at a Skylab museum where we learnt about the American research satellite, (Skylab), that fell out of orbit and crashed to earth in the 1970s. Space debris was scattered throughout Western Australia.
The next stop was a town called Norseman which was named after a horse that had discovered the first gold in the area by picking up a nugget in his hoof.
When we arrived at Esperance we couldn't get a spot in a caravan park because of the Easter school holidays, so we ended up in the showgrounds where we booked for four nights. Czytaj więcej

Day 8 Esperance
21 kwietnia 2019, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
Today I woke up to the sound of my sister saying "Kaden, wake up it's Easter", and so after searching the whole caravan we eventually found our Easter goodies... in the truck... sneaky Easter Bunny!
After indulging in chocolate we drove down to the local market to look around. There were chickens, ducks and lots of different food stalls. We even found a shop called "Mermaid Leather" which made a special leather out of fish scales which was interesting.
After saying goodbye to the chickens and ducks we went to the information centre where we found a brochure about a bird and animal farm so we decided to check it out.
When we arrived there were some big friendly Scottish Highland cows in the front of the reception/cafe. We paid for a family pass into the farm and bought a bag of animal food each to feed the animals. Inside were goats, lots of birds, emus, alpacas, sheep, cows, rabbits and more. The emus were my favourite.
Next we went back to the show grounds where I sort of ran some laps of the footy oval. Then we went to a museum about the town's history, war stuff, old cars and machines and the Skylab.
After the museum we went back to the show grounds so Dad and I could grab our bikes and go for a ride. We rode along the foreshore and through the town. It was a nice and relaxing way to see the town. By the time we got back it was late and we were all tired.
Can't wait till tomorrow. Czytaj więcej

Day 9 Lucky Bay
22 kwietnia 2019, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
We are still in Esperance and have been for the last few days, so today we decided to drive out of Esperance to Cape Le Grand to see the amazing beaches.
Firstly we went to Le Grand Beach where we went for a short hike up to some caves. About halfway up we lost the path so we headed back, but even from where we got to the views were breathtaking.
Next we drove to Thistle Cove where we found lots of skinks. We even found two giant skinks that we tried to catch but they were way too fast and wiggly to catch.
The final beach we stopped at was Lucky Bay which was where we spent most of the day. I swam for a while until it got way too cold for my body to handle. While we were there some kangaroos hopped by to say hello, (a mummy with her joey). Their fur was so soft and silky.
After leaving we were all so tired that we pretty much had our showers then went back to the caravan to rest. I think tomorrow will be a day to relax before we start on the road again. Czytaj więcej

Day 10 Last day in Esperance
23 kwietnia 2019, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C
It was our last day in Esperance after spending 4 days here, mostly enjoying its beautiful beaches.
Today we rode down to an adventure playground on the foreshore as a family. We got tickets to ride on a mini train which, by the way, was one of the most humiliating things I have ever done. The train went right through a very popular skate park where all the kids stared at us on the mini train... at least my brother enjoyed it!
Next we went to the playground where I caught a rare sight of Mum on a swing as you can see in the picture. After lunch we went to Twilight beach where I caught some really good waves on my boogie board.
The next stop of our trip is Albany to visit the National Anzac Centre. Czytaj więcej
