  • Mount Hipipamee & Dinner Falls

    July 8, 2024 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C

    One of the coolest things we have seen - an ancient has explosion has created this crater and is super deep. Dropping a rock it parts the green algae but quickly covers over again. Another spectacular waterfall and rainforest walk - had our first leech experience today too 😬Read more

  • Gallo Dairyland

    July 7, 2024 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

  • Point Drummond

    March 11, 2024 in Australia ⋅ 🌬 28 °C

    It's another super hot day today, with temps back over 40. So we unhitched Mabel at the top of the hill, drove down to the beach and enjoyed a cold swim, explored the rockpools and lazed under the awning for a couple of hours.Read more

  • Caiguna Blowhole

    February 26, 2024 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    It's incredible how far the "breath" of wind travels, here we are over 25km to the coast. But as the temperature rises, the cool air breathing out of this blowhole was a really welcome relief, as well as a novelty of a big driving day.Read more

  • The Great Eyre Highway

    February 26, 2024 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    We are a couple of days behind our plan due to the Balladonia bushfire but today we started the journey, one of the great road trips around Aus. So varied in landscape, more undulating than we expected and less wind at the start than planned. We also didn't think we would encounter rain, so a surprising first day!Read more

  • First Day of Rain

    February 25, 2024 in Australia ⋅ 🌧 20 °C

    We've hit solid rain for the first time on our trip. It's literally rained since mid morning, all arvo and into the night. We gave our new rain jackets a try. We even had to take off the tags!

  • Speedway Fun!

    February 24, 2024 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 22 °C

    Tonight we headed to the Esperance Speedway with our travelling family friends the Gilbert's. Flannos were the hit of the night, blending in with the locals. The speed of some of the cars, cornering on a wheels was incredible. We all got a good laugh at being splattered with mud after today's rain showers. Heaps of fun and laughs!Read more

  • Peaceful Bay Fish & Chips

    February 9, 2024 in Australia ⋅ 🌬 25 °C

    The freshest fish 🐟 enjoyed on the very windy beach (our fish and chips were quite gritty thanks to the sand blasting us). Mitch and Mabel wanted to get a piece of the sand action too, heading down for a quick photo 📸Read more

  • Giant Tingle Tree

    February 8, 2024 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    The trees in the SW are next level! Each forrest is so unique, and the trees in the Frankland Forrest are amazing 🌳

  • Giants of Mandurah

    January 22, 2024 in Australia ⋅ 🌬 25 °C

    Today we went Giant hunting and were lucky enough to discover 4 of these amazing works of art! It's definitely a unique attraction that brings so many people to Mandurah, discovering this beautiful town. Olivia loved running down the tracks to find these huge friendly giants.Read more

  • Port Gregory

    November 20, 2023 in Australia ⋅ 🌬 26 °C

    What a windy little town this was! So famous in these parts for its pink lake to the East, but with a picturesque harbour on its West side that was such a contrasting blue. We imagine that it would be very pleasant if the wind wasn't blowing so strongly!Read more

  • Hutt Lagoon Pink Lake

    November 20, 2023 in Australia ⋅ 🌬 27 °C

    Wow, it's definitely fifty shades of pink this lake 💗 from bubblegum pink to soft pastel pink it's a sight to be seen. It was even more spectacular to see from the air!

  • Pelican Feeding

    November 20, 2023 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    Olivia loved feeding the pelicans, she got to throw a few fish which she thought was very cool! We just need to work on her throwing skills 🙄 it was really great to see these beautiful big birds up close and to learn a little more about them too!Read more

  • Kalbarri Coastal Cliffs

    November 19, 2023 in Australia ⋅ 🌬 31 °C

    The cliffs around Kalbarri are amazing, we can imagine how beautiful they would look on a clear day! We enjoyed the quick lookout walks to take in the views, all be it super hot!

  • Kalbarri

    November 18, 2023 in Australia ⋅ 🌬 32 °C

    What a beautiful coastal town, Kalbarri was a welcome stop during a heat wave, all be it with some pretty wild winds! Olivia has loved having Hugo at the same caravan park and enjoyed some chilling in the caravan.Read more

  • Kalbarri National Park - Skywalk

    November 18, 2023 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 34 °C

    What an amazing engineering marvel! Two steel structures perched atop the cliff, allowing you to peer over down to the Murchison River. The breeze was very welcome in the scorching heat too!

  • Kalbarri National Park- Z Bend

    November 18, 2023 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    Mother Nature has dialled up the heat! With temps around 45 degrees in the National Park we took things easy. Its a seriously impressive park, with spectacular views.

    Olivia was once again over the moon to see Hugo (and Vanessa & Matts) orange caravan in the Kalbarri caravan park we are staying in. Hugo & Olivia enjoyed playing and watching Bluey over lunch and a snack 😋Read more
