    Bungonia

    6 mars 2023, Australie ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    Our first night on the road! After a last minute scramble to get everything ready (I.e. shoving it all in the car for us to sort out later😅) we left in the arvo and made it up to a sweet little free camp near bungonia that looked down into a beautiful river gorgeEn savoir plus

    Sunshine coast

    11 mars 2023, Australie ⋅ 🌧 26 °C

    Making use of Dad’s wonderful shed to do the final finishing touches to the car and the setup (sadly no Dad around as he was traipsing through Asia at the time) and exploring different climbing spots around the sunshine coast with my old pal Paul. That children’s python came slithering by when I was doing a bush wee 👀En savoir plus

    Fraser Island

    14 mars 2023, Australie ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    10 days on Fraser! A great amount of time to explore all the gorgeous different camping spots and ecosystems of freshwater lakes, forests, beaches and sand dunes. Liberal quantities of bogans in 4WD’s and March flies added to the novelty and slightly diminished the enjoyment, but not too much.En savoir plus

    Mackay/Eungella

    27 mars 2023, Australie ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    Mackay wasn’t really much to rave home about, except their exquisite orchid garden! However Eungella, about an hour or so inland, was incredibly beautiful. Lush rainforest teeming with bird life, turtles and platypus! And the waterfalls and bushwalks at Finch Hatton Gorge were incredibly beautiful. I would recommend Eungella to anyone passing that way on the coast❤️En savoir plus

    Airlie beach

    29 mars 2023, Australie ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    We camped on Whitsunday island and Hook Island for 3 days, with not much to do besides snorkel, read and snooze in the hammock and try to escape the extreme humidity 😅 seeing such vibrant coral off Cairn Beach on Whitsunday island was a real treat, and we met a guy who had walked/cycled/scootered and trolleyed all the way from Perth!En savoir plus

    Hinchinbrook Island

    12 avril 2023, Australie ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C

    Pete and I hiked the Thorsborne trail on Hinchbrook Island over 4 days and it was stunning. Steep mountain peaks that drop straight into pristine beaches and coral create almost a Jurassic vibe. We got eaten alive by mosquitoes and the sweltering humidity but the numerous waterfalls and the gorgeous landscape were our saviours.En savoir plus

    Cairns for diving

    21 avril 2023, Australie ⋅ 🌬 30 °C

    It was quite unfortunate that Pete’s GoPro failed whilst we were out on our 3 day diving trip from Cairns but it meant we were able to soak up the incredible marine world without worrying about capturing it properly. Turtles, stingrays, reef sharks, countless fish and I caught a glimpse of the moray eel, and we met the nicest people on board! The video was from our friends footage of seeing the moray. Despite the boat ride out and back being some of the roughest boat time we’ve ever spent (Pete chucked up his breaky on the side of the boat🤮🤣), it was so worth it!En savoir plus

    Atherton tablelands pt2: Yungburra

    25 avril 2023, Australie ⋅ 🌧 22 °C

    After our diving trip in Cairns, we headed back to the tablelands to do a week’s WWOOFing in Yungaburra. We stayed with the sweetest old couple on this beautiful 5 acre bush block out of town and had the loveliest time getting to know them, helping them rebuild an outdoor garden set of stairs and doing bushwalks around the area. I stupidly forgot to get a photo with them. The husband, Anthony, was kind enough to take to teach us the early steps of welding and he took us out to an old quarry and rock art site near his area for a day trip. We were sad to leave those guys as we had such an amazing time with them.En savoir plus

    Cairns pt. 2

    5 mai 2023, Australie ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    We then headed back to Cairns to catch up with friends and see one of their live shows at a local gig - which was awesome! Cairns had some incredible talent. We managed to run into some pals from down south which was such a treat 😆
    We also managed to catch the local fire-twirling and live drumming circle that happens once a month. About 100+ people gather and watch countless fire performers of all levels get up and perform to the live drumming.    En savoir plus

    Mossman Gorge

    7 mai 2023, Australie ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C

    This Indigenous-owned gorge has controlled access and charges tourists to access the gorge but we were happy to pay knowing that it employs First Nations staff and that hopefully the money goes back to community. The bush walks were amazing too, such pristine forests.En savoir plus

    Daintree

    8 mai 2023, Australie ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

    More lush tropical rainforests up here, although sadly we found that most parts of the area could not be accessed without paying a bunch of money to tourism companies who controlled access. We did love spotting this big Amethystine python and coaxing it off the road. We also loved our $30 Coopers Creek croc cruise where we were able to spot these females. Our first croc sighting on the trip! Can you see the hidden croc in the 3rd photo??? 👀En savoir plus

    Cooktown

    11 mai 2023, Australie ⋅ 🌬 28 °C

    Beloved old Cooktown! We had such a nice time exploring this quirky little town, we walked around the botanic gardens, walked up Mount Cook and out to the lookout to the neighbouring bays. We met up with one of Petes old family friends and enjoyed a morning sunrise from the lighthouse. This old fella also cooked us the most delicious prawn pasta for dinner!

    We also got word from a local ranger on where we could go to spot a local croc. After an unsuccessful initial trip, we were lucky the second time round to see part of the big bull in the water! It was quite a tease though, we waited for half an hour but unfortunately he must have been feeling a bit shy.    En savoir plus

    Chillagoe

    13 mai 2023, Australie ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    Due to many of the great national parks on the way to Cape York still being closed due to the wet season, we decided to head south to the red centre. First stop is Chillagoe with its fascinating caves and rock formations. And also our first popped Tyre! A very kind truck driver pulled over and offered to help us, offering us fresh, organic mandarins as well. We’ve met the nicest people so far on this trip ❤️En savoir plus

    Fossilbrook

    14 mai 2023, Australie ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C

    Very remote-feel driving toward Mount Surprise, without phone signal or a GPS to find out how to get there! We eventually found our way.. We are starting to get into the Red Dirt now! But we also found some beautiful bush camps, complete with a lovely sunset, where there was no one else around, these type of campsites have been some of our favourite parts of the whole trip.En savoir plus

    Normonton

    15 mai 2023, Australie ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C

    Normanton had a beautiful lagoon that we got to spot heaps of birdlife from (including magpie geese and Brolga’s) and then we got bogged 😆 all part of the journey. We got very muddy and thankfully the Maxtrax helped us get out in about 25 minutes. We had another beautiful sunset on our way toward Camooweal Billabong near Mount Isa.En savoir plus

    Karlu Karlu (Devil’s Marbles)

    16 mai 2023, Australie ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    We officially crossed into the NT! We made our way down the Three Ways toward Karlu Karlu, to see the beautiful and distinctive rocks that are sacred to the Traditional Owners of 4 different clan groups. The boulders are not to be photographed in certain areas due to their significance, which we were more than happy to respect as we were grateful to be able to see them from so close and for both sunset and sunrise❤️En savoir plus
