Caiguna Blowhole
February 16 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
After a tiresome 5 minutes on the straightest road, we stopped at the Caiguna Blowhole. This was eloquently described by Alex as "just a hole in the dirt" when we were trying to find it. There was noRead more
90 Mile Straight
February 16 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
The start of Australia's longest straight road. I got a little distracted because the Outback Jazz Man from Tambor QLD was there, so I got chatting to him instead of taking pictures.
Wedgetail Inn "Hotel"
February 15 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 35 °C
Cocklebiddy, right on Nuytsland Nature Reserve... Sorry, that made me laugh, but it was a very long drive.
This was the roadhouse that we were most worried about staying at, actually; it had terribleRead more
Eucla
February 15 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
The first stop was just across the border at Eucla. This was meant to be a visit to see the old Telegraph station and Jetty, but it was also where I learned that March flies love my legs. So while IRead more
Border Village
February 15 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C
Had to get a picture of True Blue Rooey, right? Probably didn't have to get pulled over by the WA Police with a friendly welcome to the state with a speeding fine, though.

I'm not sure which or what tomato cliff is, but it was a nice lookout.

Head of the Bight
February 15 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
It would have been pretty amazing to be here with the Southern Right Whales going past with their calves... However, I still got a little sentimental looking at the huge cliffs at the start of theRead more
Nullabor Plain
February 15 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Finally made it to the beginning of the plain. Leading up to this, I said to Alex that there were a lot of trees for a place that is famous for not having trees... Then they all just disappeared.
Point Sinclair
February 15 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
We went down to find a Pink Lake and Stingrays at the Jetty... But left finding neither.
Penong Windmill Museum
February 15 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
Where else would you find Australia's largest windmill? Queensland. But where would you find a copy of it? Well, here in Penong of course, with all the other shapes and sizes. Alex really liked thisRead more
The Pantry
February 15 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
Get it? Pan-Tree. I know how the people on this road feel, it makes you do crazy things.
Ceduna and 'The Lodge' AirBnB
February 14 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C
That was a long day of driving, 1000 km, and guess what? Another 4 AM start tomorrow for another 8 hours of driving. So we only had the energy for a little sightseeing in Port Augusta, visiting theRead more
Halfway Across!
February 14 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C
Day 38 and we finally made it halfway across Australia, according to this galah anyway.
Outback Discovery Centre
February 14 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C
Trying to fill in the missing gaps in our knowledge now that we are leaving the Outback. Last time we were here it was super busy, but this time we got to play on all the devices like the Morse codeRead more
Australian Arid Land Botanic Gardens
February 14 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
We go to a lot of botanic gardens, but I liked this one from the first time we went there. It is a garden that really highlights the plants that live in arid zones and need next to no water. SayingRead more
Happy Valentines Day
February 14 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
Cute decorations were put up by the staff at the Glendambo Roadhouse. Glad we stopped here for a bite and drink, it put a smile on our face to see.
Random stop

I'm not falling asleep, you are.
Kata Tjuta
February 13 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C
It was still cold and windy, which might have seemed appropriate for the Valley of the Winds walk. But we also had an 8-hour drive ahead of us. So instead, we went to look at and stand on theRead more
Wintjiri Wiru Sunset Dinner
February 12 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C
Well, this did not exactly go to plan. It was a dinner followed by a drone and laser show. It started with some canapes while we watched and waited for the sun to set. But that's unfortunately whereRead more
