Kata Tjuta
13. februar, Australien ⋅ ☁️ 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 theLæs mere
Random stop

I'm not falling asleep, you are.
Happy Valentines Day
14. februar, Australien ⋅ ☁️ 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.
Australian Arid Land Botanic Gardens
14. februar, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 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. SayingLæs mere
Outback Discovery Centre
14. februar, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 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 codeLæs mere
Halfway Across!
14. februar, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C
Day 38 and we finally made it halfway across Australia, according to this galah anyway.
Ceduna and 'The Lodge' AirBnB
14. februar, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 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 theLæs mere
The Pantry
15. februar, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
Get it? Pan-Tree. I know how the people on this road feel, it makes you do crazy things.
Penong Windmill Museum
15. februar, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 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 thisLæs mere
Point Sinclair
15. februar, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
We went down to find a Pink Lake and Stingrays at the Jetty... But left finding neither.
Nullabor Plain
15. februar, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 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.
Head of the Bight
15. februar, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 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 theLæs mere

Tomato Cliff Lookout
15. februar, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
I'm not sure which or what tomato cliff is, but it was a nice lookout.
Border Village
15. februar, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 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.
Eucla
15. februar, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 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 ILæs mere
Wedgetail Inn "Hotel"
15. februar, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 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 terribleLæs mere
90 Mile Straight
16. februar, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 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.
Caiguna Blowhole
16. februar, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 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 noLæs mere
Scotty's Goanna
16. februar, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
Esperance
16. februar, Australien ⋅ 🌬 20 °C
Oh, Esperance, this was the only part of the trip that we really needed to have beautiful weather, as this is the swimming part of our trip since Esperance has like 4 of the most beautiful beaches inLæs mere
Cape Le Grand National Park
17. februar, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
Early start today, of course, because it's about an hour drive to the National Park, dodging the kangaroos that should be on the beach we were trying to get to.
Lucky Bay Beach
17. februar, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
Didn't end up getting in early enough to see the kangaroos. Need to probably camp in the park to get that privilege before people start driving their 4WDs onto the beach for no obvious reason. ThereLæs mere
