    Dales Gorge - Fern Pool

    10. lokakuuta 2023, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 35 °C

    WOW! One of the most beautiful swimming spots in a gorge to date. A short 5 min walk upstream from Fortescue Falls brings you to this beauty! The bonus was you got to climb up and sit behind the waterfall in a fern lined cave! Loved it so much we relaxed, enjoyed a couple of swims before the big Ascend up the ladder stairs to the top of the gorge!Lue lisää

    Dales Gorge Walk

    10. lokakuuta 2023, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C

    We had the whole day to tackle the Dale's Gorge Walk. Starting with a spectacular but hot gorge rim walk, followed by a rocky descent into the gorge and a stroll through paperbark lined creek beds (we got a bit wet and miss Oli slipped several times which caused a right tantrum). But to end up at Fortescue Falls for a swim was worth the hard effort!Lue lisää

    Mt. Meharry - Top of WA

    8. lokakuuta 2023, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C

    Today was an adventure afternoon for Dad, with a tough 4x4 track up Western Australia's highest mountain - Mount Meharry. It was a tough, steep track with step ups, it was only for the experienced driver. The views from the top were spectacular, and was amazing to think we were the highest people in WA at that moment in time!Lue lisää

    Marble Bar

    7. lokakuuta 2023, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 36 °C

    It holds the record as the hottest town in Australia, and it's pretty hot today 🌡 but loving the dry heat (not humid), makes it feel like being in a Wagga summer!

    We had a wonderful afternoon fossicking and exploring the sights around town. We found some jasper for our collection but sadly not enough water at Chinaman's Pools for a swim, but checked out the views of the town from the Water Tank Lookout.Lue lisää

    Port Hedland

    6. lokakuuta 2023, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 35 °C

    We lobbed into the Turf Club free camp in Port Hedland early and got about seeing a few things and doing our odd jobs before we set off East for a few days. We loved watching the long ore trains roll past, and then watching the huge ore ships load and then head out to sea while Oli played in the park. Today she tackled the big slide all by herself! She was so very chuffed with herself 😍

    Another swim, this time at Pretty Pools (Oli literally dropped off the kids at the pools 🫣🤫😂🙄🫢💩), a nice cool off and some good laughs 😃.    Lue lisää

    Cape Keraudren

    5. lokakuuta 2023, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

    A wonderful camp in the East Pilbara Region. Our camp-site was stunning, with the ocean literally a stones throw away. We spent the afternoon checking out the other sites on tge Cape, drove down to Mosquito Creek (no we didn't stay there) before heading to the beach where we found another beautiful rockpool to relax, cool off in and splash around. Afternoon swims are the perfect time to find one when the tide drops and exposes them!

    The weather was perfect, a cool sea breeze kept the heat at bay so we could sit out and enjoy our view. The little bird boxes were perfect to see birds nesting and we got a visit from a kangaroo too! The stars were out and looking amazing too!    Lue lisää

    Barn Hill Station

    3.–5. lokak. 2023, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 33 °C

    We are lucky to be able to stay at Barn Hill Station as its their last week for the season, as the temps warm up, the humidity rises and the rain starts brewing. Olivia loved the playground and the goats, and mum and dad loved sitting in the shade, cool sea breeze on our face planning the next leg of our journey. We had our first real "full day of relaxing", playing, reading researching, cooling off in the rock pools and watching the sun set with another travelling family from Freshwater and a lovely older couple we met as we got on the Horizontal Falls Seaplane.Lue lisää

    Coconut Wells

    30. syyskuuta 2023, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    We chanced an over 9m high tide this morning to experience Coconut Well "filling up" with super salty ocean water. It was a fun stop on the way back down Dampier Peninsula onroute to Broome. The turquoise warm waters were a delight for Olivia to float in.Lue lisää

    Horizontal Falls

    29. syyskuuta 2023, Indian Ocean ⋅ ⛅ 32 °C

    Sir David Attenborough calls them “one of the greatest natural wonders of the world” and we can definitely see why – the fast moving, surging waters of the Horizontal Falls are truly remarkable. The massive volume of water squeezing between the narrow cliffs on Talbot Bay cause this natural phenomenon and unbelievable "sideways" falls. Bucket List item definitely checked off 👌Lue lisää

    Sea Plane to Horizontal Falls

    29. syyskuuta 2023, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

    A late Anniversary gift to each other, we had a childless morning (thanks to Nanna & Grumpy) while we enjoyed low level flying over the amazing islands of the Buccaneer Archipelago before our seaplane landed safely in Talbot Bay. The seaplane was just part of our magical day out to Horizontal Falls. The colours and perspective you see from the air is breathtaking, we saw Cygnet Bay from above and even spotted 2 whales frolicking in the waters far below.Lue lisää

    Dinner @ Matso's

    26. syyskuuta 2023, Australia ⋅ 🌙 27 °C

    When it comes to beer and Broome, the famous Matso's comes to mind. We decided we must check it out during our time in Broome. We tried a few of the famous beers like the Mango 🥭 and Chilli 🌶.
