Streaky Bay (cont)
24 de abril de 2023, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C
Today we ventured out to the Whistling Rocks, it was super cool. We had a lovely walk down to the cliffs and spent a good while just admiring the beauty!

On the way back we even found some cheap oysters ($15 for 19 oysters...bargain!!) He said they were awesome and big too.

We went for another fish in the afternoon, unfortunately we didn't catch anything but the girls loved it.

We will start the Nullarbor tomorrow!!Leer más

Roadtrip to Streaky Bay
24 de abril de 2023, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
We missed our turn to Streaky Bay...oppsy!! So we ended up checking out Whyalla and Iron Knob. We will check out Whyalla properly when we come back through but not much at Iron Knob apart from a really big Iron mine...obviously I guess 😆

We finally got to the beautiful Streaky Bay with only an hour or so detour.Leer más

The Nullarbor
25 de abril de 2023, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C
ANZAC DAY today ❤️ there wasnt a dawn service today so we left Streaky Bay early today to get a good start on our Nullarbor journey.

We stopped at Lake McConnell a pink lake in Penong but unfortunately it wasn't very pink, hopefully we might be able to get a better pic on the way back, it was nice though there was definitely a pink tinge to it.

Thank goodness for sausages, we stopped and had another sausage sizzle on the back on the tailgate at Penong, the girls enjoyed some time out of the car at the kids park. Penong also had a windmill museum...so many cool windmills was worth checking out.

We ended up making it to our destination around 5pm. It's a free camp called 52k Peg Camp Area right on the cliffs of the Great Australian Bight...it's breathtaking, the flies however were the worst we have seen so far 😳 totally worth it though!!

Hoping for a good sunrise in the morning, sunset was ok but nothing special.Leer más

Camels finally found
26 de abril de 2023, Australia ⋅ 🌙 15 °C
After 2 days of searching through the Nullarbor looking for camels we finally spotted a herd in Norseman 😃

We stayed at a free camp in the town and walked to the pub for dinner, very small mining town.Leer más

Esperance - Day 1 - Bird and animal park
28 de abril de 2023, Australia
We started our adventures at the Esperance Bird and Animal Park. The kids (big and little) had the best time, they had so many cool birds and animals (mainly birds) that we have never seen before.

They also had a white tailed black cockatoo which was super cool, we didnt even know existed. Apparently WA and SA have these species. In WA they are called Carnaby's Black Cockatoo, they are slightly larger and have a larger upper bill. The SA one is called Baudin's cockatoo. Very interesting stuff 👌Leer más

After our morning at the Bird and Animal Park, we ventured to the Lucky Bay Brewery, it was a lovely venue and Greg was more than happy to sample the beer!

We then drove The Great Ocean Drive. It was 40kms of beautiful coastline, I was driving so the camera work was done by Gregory.Leer más

Esperance Last Day
29 de abril de 2023, Australia ⋅ 🌙 15 °C
Today we drove to Le Grand National Park, was such a cold day but we managed to see all of the beautiful bays without getting wet. We saw Lucky Bay, Thistle Cove, Hellfire Bay and Frenchman's Peak.

We then headed to Bandy Creek Boat Ramp, we had an excellent time fishing we caught about 12 in total but only 2 legal - a Parrotfish (the biggest caught by me - wahoo that never happens) and Greg caught a legal Bream. We caught a heap of different fish including lots of baby trevally and salmon, was a very fun day!Leer más

Wave Rock
30 de abril de 2023, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 21 °C
We had an amazing time at Wave Rock over the past few days. We stayed at the caravan park, and it was well worth it. The Rock was seriously cool, and the view from the top was awesome. We also spent a little time at the Salt Pool. Apparently, it is more salty than the Dead Sea! Greg jumped in, but it was well and truly too cold for the girls.
We explored Hyden and saw some sites like Hippo Cave and Mulka Cave.Leer más

Perth - Beldon with The Krugers
2 de mayo de 2023, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Sorry I have been a bit slack with the updates, we have just spent the last week with the Krugers and what a hoot we have had.

Art lessons with Lis, swimming at Mullaloo beach and seeing dolphins just cruising along super close to the shore. We have enjoyed catching up and making new friends with Lis, Jumbo, Jax, Layla and Tiger (the dog).Leer más
