Cape Leeuwin Water Wheel
22. februar, Australien ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
Interesting little artefact of an old water wheel used by the nearby Lighthouse keepers originally. Not it has been calcified by the salt spray and barely recognisable. A bit of a windy and dramaticLæs mere
Jewel Cave
22. februar, Australien ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C
We've been on a good number of cave tours now, pretty much a standard on every holiday we've been on at this point. But to my surprise, all of them have had a uniqueness one way or another. This oneLæs mere
Hamelin Bay
22. februar, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
Where the stingrays come up almost to the beach, we were able to watch a couple swimming past in the short time that we were there. I think this was our third attempt to find stingrays, a callback toLæs mere
Leeuwin Estate
22. februar, Australien ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
A little bit luxe, why not, when in the Margaret River region. A beautiful estate, the oldest vineyard in the region, and a really delicious, albeit expensive, lunch. We were joined by a kookaburraLæs mere
Busselton Jetty
22. februar, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
We came, we saw, and we left. Unfortunately, this does not seem like the type of place you can arrive at on a Sunday afternoon unprepared. The train was sold out, and there was no chance of us walkingLæs mere
Glowing Rooms 3D Minigolf
22. februar, Australien ⋅ 🌙 21 °C
This was really interesting. It can't be seen in pictures, but the 300 hours spent painting the rooms with special paint meant that when wearing 3D glasses, it made the room pop to life. It definitelyLæs mere
Rottnest Island
23. februar, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Anyone who has heard about Rottnest will know just how stunning the beaches and island are. We were lucky enough to have almost perfect weather for the day, which made the aqua blue water glow. We hadLæs mere
Omeo Wreck
24. februar, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C
The intention was to have a snorkel here, but lying in bed seemed more important today after the exhausting Rottnest day yesterday. This is a wreck of a ship that is basically shallow enough to walkLæs mere
Jetski
24. februar, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Trauma alert. Well, not for me, as you can see, since there is no photo of me. I realized 5 minutes into trying to jetski that it was far too unnatural to speed up in order to control the craft. AtLæs mere
WA Shipwreck Museum
24. februar, Australien ⋅ 🌬 28 °C
Continuing on today's theme of water, wrecks, and traumatic experiences, we came here to the WA Shipwreck Museum. Also, because it's the home of the Shipwreck Hunters TV series that I loved.
Yanchep Koala Boardwalk
25. februar, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C
Alex said this was our best chance to see a Koala in the wild, and yes technically they were surrounded by the wild sure... But the koalas were happily in enclosures. But look at this cutie that weLæs mere
The Pinnacles Desert
25. februar, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C
They don't look as big in pictures, but a lot are taller than me for sure, and literally everywhere you turn in this alien-like desert. Sure, they are rocks, but they are pretty cool rocks.
Lobster Shack
25. februar, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Can't come this way without sitting down to enjoy a lobster from the Lobster Shack. Even Juanes, who usually doesn't eat seafood, really liked it.
Lake Thetis Stromatolites
25. februar, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Cool rocks in water this time. Something Alex and I have wanted to see since we were kids, fascinated by these microorganism-filled colonies that are the key to the earliest life on Earth. Sure theyLæs mere
Wedge Island Lookout
25. februar, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C
I didn't know anything about Wedge Island, and at that distance I think I needed the 30x zoom in my camera to get a picture. But the stop did give us an opportunity to meet this very social bob-tailLæs mere
Lancelin Sand Dune
25. februar, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
Leaving Juanes to sandboard on his own here. For some reason I had a premonition of twisting my ankle, so I just walked around the dunes. The business and guess running the activities here felt aLæs mere
Sunset Reflection
25. februar, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C
It wasn't our last day, but this was a place where we stopped and watched the sun set over the water, a rare treat as an East Coaster. We talked about the adventures and memories of this truly epicLæs mere
Kings Park and Botanic Gardens
26. februar, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 24 °C
The ducks seemed to love the little shower that made us run for cover. But thankfully, it passed quickly, and we managed to go up the DNA tower and over the Federation Walkway to see the Giant Boab,Læs mere
Bell Tower
26. februar, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
The ANZAC tour of the bell tower included being able to ring the bells ourselves. It was actually more emotional than I was expecting, for me anyway, but I'm a big crybaby at the best of times, but ILæs mere
Perth Mint
26. februar, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
This was a great tour that covered the origin of the mint and mining in WA. It included the 1-tonne, 99.99% pure gold coin and a demonstration of making a pure gold bar. As part of the ANZAC bellLæs mere
Art Gallery of WA
26. februar, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
Warned we only had 30 minutes before closing, we did a run around the Art Gallery. A couple of the galleries were currently closed, so that made it a quicker journey. There were some interestingLæs mere
Goodbye Perth
26. februar, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 27 °C
The last walk in Perth and the end of our trip. We sat for a moment at the edge of Elizabeth Quay to enjoy the scenery and adventure that we've had. We were exhausted and tired for sure, but heartsLæs mere
The Big Rig
27. februar, Australien ⋅ 🌙 22 °C
The Ford Everest Trend got us through 13,000 kilometers without an issue, starting every new trip of the day with the power songs "The Nights" by Avicii and "Send Me On My Way" by Rusted Root. On ourLæs mere
