    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.もっと詳しく

  • Mt. Meharry - Top of WA

    2023年10月8日, オーストラリア ⋅ ☀️ 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!もっと詳しく

  • Dales Gorge Walk

    2023年10月10日, オーストラリア ⋅ ☀️ 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!もっと詳しく

  • Dales Gorge - Fern Pool

    2023年10月10日, オーストラリア ⋅ ☀️ 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!もっと詳しく

  • Hancock Gorge

    2023年10月11日, オーストラリア ⋅ ☀️ 34 °C

    After dropping Mabel off at the Karajini Eco Retreat, we headed off into the NP to do the Hancock Gorge Walk, combining ladders, rock scrambles, water walking, the Spiderman Walk and ending at Kermit's Pool. This was definitely our favourite Walk of Karajini so far. At 1.5km it wasn't too long, but being grade 5 it was a bit of a challenge. Our super hiker Oli took it in her strude and loved it too!もっと詳しく

  • Joffre Falls

    2023年10月11日, オーストラリア ⋅ ☀️ 36 °C

    Our 2nd walk of the day, a 1.3km return grade 4/5 walk and then a 400m return swim in beautiful refreshing water. Again, Olivia was amazing despite a rest, she hiked, scrambled and climbed the ladders and except the swim she did the whole walk herself! Our little trooper!

    We forgot the floaties and go-pro for this walk, but were lucky enough to see another travelling family (from Barn Hill Station) we had met before just leaving and they lent us one of the boys life jackets that made the swim much easier.

    The sheer height of the cliffs is amazing and the photos don't do it justice. The colours, rock formations and landscape are mind blowingly beautiful.

    Tonight we are camped at the Eco Retreat where we enjoyed a warm, flowing shower and we are ready for a good night's sleep!

  • Tom Price

    2023年10月12日〜14日, オーストラリア ⋅ ☀️ 34 °C

    A few days in Tom Price for washing, cleaning and getting our Rio Tinto Road Access Pass. There was big mine machinery to see, locals to say hello to and another big mountain to drive up.

  • Hamersley Gorge

    2023年10月14日, オーストラリア ⋅ 🌬 34 °C

    One of the most accessible gorges in Karajini, this was the perfect end to this area of Aus. Hamersley Gorge & the Spa Pool were gorgeous and well worth the grade 5 scramble to get here. The rock formations were incredible and the colours amazing, but 2 cool swims were perfect of a really hot day!もっと詳しく

  • Hello Uncle Adam!

    2023年10月18日, オーストラリア ⋅ 🌙 29 °C

    We have been planning our trip to Karratha around the arrival of Adam into Karratha for the beginning of his month on at work. Given timing was difficult we picked U. Adam up from the airport and dropped him to his "work home" in Wickham to maximise our time spent for a long overdue catchup. It has been a year since w3 saw each other in Sydney, and only the 2nd time Olivia has had the chance to give her Uncle big cuddles ♥️もっと詳しく

  • Point Samson

    2023年10月19日, オーストラリア ⋅ ☀️ 34 °C

    We headed further around for a spot of lunch at the Tavern with the most spectacular views! The best thing was we were lucky enough to catch an ore ship coming in so we could see Uncle Adam hard at work!

    After a quick swim at Honeymoon Cove it was back to Mitch for more discovering.

  • Onslow

    2023年10月20日, オーストラリア ⋅ ☀️ 37 °C

    Our next town on our journey south (West actually) brings us to Onslow, known for its massive salt production and apparently the Paparazzi Dog's! We will remember the crazy swarm of flies at 4 mile Creek and enjoying a cold drink through the fly net (great idea to stop there mum 🤣).もっと詳しく
