Cape Leeuwin Water Wheel
22 februari, 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 dramaticLäs mer
Jewel Cave
22 februari, 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 oneLäs mer
Hamelin Bay
22 februari, 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 toLäs mer
Leeuwin Estate
22 februari, 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 kookaburraLäs mer
Busselton Jetty
22 februari, 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 walkingLäs mer
Glowing Rooms 3D Minigolf
22 februari, 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 definitelyLäs mer
Rottnest Island
23 februari, 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 hadLäs mer
Omeo Wreck
24 februari, 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 walkLäs mer
Jetski
24 februari, 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. AtLäs mer
WA Shipwreck Museum
24 februari, 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 februari, 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 weLäs mer
The Pinnacles Desert
25 februari, 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 februari, 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 februari, 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 theyLäs mer
Wedge Island Lookout
25 februari, 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-tailLäs mer
Lancelin Sand Dune
25 februari, 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 aLäs mer
Sunset Reflection
25 februari, 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 epicLäs mer
Kings Park and Botanic Gardens
26 februari, 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,Läs mer
Bell Tower
26 februari, 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 ILäs mer
Perth Mint
26 februari, 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 bellLäs mer
Art Gallery of WA
26 februari, 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 interestingLäs mer
Goodbye Perth
26 februari, 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 heartsLäs mer
The Big Rig
27 februari, 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 ourLäs mer
