Cape Leeuwin Water Wheel
22 lutego, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 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 dramatic Czytaj więcej
Jewel Cave
22 lutego, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 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 one Czytaj więcej
Hamelin Bay
22 lutego, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 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 to Czytaj więcej
Leeuwin Estate
22 lutego, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 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 kookaburra Czytaj więcej
Busselton Jetty
22 lutego, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 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 walking Czytaj więcej
Glowing Rooms 3D Minigolf
22 lutego, Australia ⋅ 🌙 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 definitely Czytaj więcej
Rottnest Island
23 lutego, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 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 had Czytaj więcej
Omeo Wreck
24 lutego, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 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 walk Czytaj więcej
Jetski
24 lutego, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 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. At Czytaj więcej
WA Shipwreck Museum
24 lutego, Australia ⋅ 🌬 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 lutego, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 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 we Czytaj więcej
The Pinnacles Desert
25 lutego, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 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 lutego, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 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 lutego, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 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 they Czytaj więcej
Wedge Island Lookout
25 lutego, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 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-tail Czytaj więcej
Lancelin Sand Dune
25 lutego, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 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 a Czytaj więcej
Sunset Reflection
25 lutego, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 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 epic Czytaj więcej
Kings Park and Botanic Gardens
26 lutego, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 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, Czytaj więcej
Bell Tower
26 lutego, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 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 I Czytaj więcej
Perth Mint
26 lutego, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 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 bell Czytaj więcej
Art Gallery of WA
26 lutego, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 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 interesting Czytaj więcej
Goodbye Perth
26 lutego, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 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 hearts Czytaj więcej
The Big Rig
27 lutego, Australia ⋅ 🌙 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 our Czytaj więcej
