Hari 2
Mossman to Hughenden
7 Februari 2023, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C
Worn down by the 6m of monsoonal rainfall in Mossman and a shortage of work in the off season we decided to head to WA.
Day 1 we packed up in the rain. A brief respite from the showers when we stopped for lunch in pretty seaside Cardwell but otherwise a longish wettish day.
Day 2 brought us to Hughenden where we admired the sculpture trail and the many dinosaurs.Baca selengkapnya

The next day was clear and sunny but there was still plenty of water around. We headed through Mt Isa and in to the NT after a stop for the mandatory border photo.
There was no one on the roads (perhaps the flooding puts tourists off). We stopped at Avon Downs for our first night and Bonney Well for the second. The dogs enjoyed a paddle at the historic stock route watering point and a spectacular outback sunset.Baca selengkapnya

Hari 5
Cloncurry
10 Februari 2023, Australia ⋅ 🌙 25 °C
We hit a nasty storm cell not long after leaving Hughenden and there was flash flooding at Richmond and Julia Creek. Our planned overnight stop was flooded out so we pushed on to Cloncurry.
On the way we saw a pig, a man walking his horses in the middle of nowhere and lots of dinosaurs 🦕 .
In Cloncurry we visited the museum and the lookout and basically just bunkered down while the storms came through.Baca selengkapnya

Hari 12
Stuart Highway
17 Februari 2023, Australia ⋅ 🌙 22 °C
Travelling through Central Australia in an extreme heatwave is not ideal. We did our best to combat the temperatures by getting up at 5am and aiming to be off the road by 11am.
This meant we saw the sunrise at Karlu Karlu the Devils Marbles which was pretty.
We had a nice 3 days in Alice Springs catching up with friends while we had belt pulleys replaced on the car.
We are now through Port Augusta for the big push west.Baca selengkapnya

WA at last
22 Februari 2023, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 31 °C
Having had no phone signal for almost a week we are finally back in something approaching civilisation.
We had a great trip across the Nullarbor with an unusual tailwind. An absolute highlight was camping on the Bunda Cliffs with magnificent views and a superb view.
A low point was being swarmed by bees at Moodini Bluff causing us to quite literally bug out when they tried to hive up in our air-conditioner.
Bonnie and Winston's favourite spot was Southern Cross which had a great off lead dog park.
The heatwave has taken its toll on everything but happily we have a powered site and a swimming pool today to unwind.Baca selengkapnya
