M and MI’m afraid I am not fit enough to do that and would be on my puffer less than a third of the way. Admire that you are both fit enough to climb that.

Green Head

We left Bindoon and travel through the North valley and past through Gin Gin on our way to meet up with Australia Indian Ocean Drive where found this coastal village. Its beaches and lifestyle provide a relaxed holiday atmosphere.

From here we explored Stockyard Gully Caves This fascinating group of limestone caves that lead to an underwater river system. The largest cave is an impressive sight. Walk through the 300 metre long cave which is covered by a sandy floor.

The coastline is full of limestone outcrops that form little island and reefs.

Kel got a game of golf in with the local Thursday comp.En savoir plus

Geraldton
16 avril 2021, Australie ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C
Just came to see the Maritime museum. The loss of HMAS Sydney (II) is Australia’s greatest naval tragedy. Its disappearance in 1941 without a trace left a legacy of uncertainty for decades. In March 2008, renewed efforts to find the Sydney came to fruition, confirming her fate and bringing closure to the mystery.

In 2015 a survey of the historic World War II shipwrecks produced new amazing images from 2.5 KLM under the surfaceEn savoir plus

Denham

Our base to Explore Francois Peron NP.
50 KLM of sand track gets us to Cape Peron, almost as far west as you can go.

The look out at Skipjack point cliff overlooks Eagle rays, sharks and other marine life from the viewing platform.

A swim at Gregories, Kel had a snorkel but did not venture far because of the currents. The flies would follow you into the water.

We finished off in the hot tube at the Heritage Precinct an old sheep station.

Then sunset drinks, perfect.En savoir plus

Eco Retreat Karijini NP
28 avril 2021, Australie ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Explored Weano Gorge a 1 hour loop walk down into the gorge. Spectacular views of the Pilbara rock formations and a bubbly stream and swimming hole along the floor , before trekking back up to the rim for the return.

We then experienced the precipitous cliffs and narrow passages as we clawed and waded our way into the Ampitheatre of Hancock's Gorge this class 5 rated walk was scarry yet breath taking.

The next day we drove the 100klm return gravel roads to Hamersley gorge which has dramatic colours, textures. The reflections from the pools at the base of the gorge enhance the astonishing, complex geological force if this spectacular landscape.

Then we tackled Kalamina Gorge, we descended the steps to find a small waterfall and strolled for a 2 hour return, through lemon scented grasses beside the stream before the trails end at Rock arch Pool.

Finally some lookouts at Joffre and Knox gorges. You need to be agile and fit to descend 600 metres of cliff face climbing and rock hopping if you want to swim in the pool at the base of the waterfall, crazy. Not for us, we are to faint hearted.En savoir plus

We are along the north-west coast of Western Australia about half-way between the towns of Broome and Port Hedland. It is a beach some 220 kilometres in length, forming the coastline where the Great Sandy Desert approaches the Indian Ocean.

Horizontal Falls
16 mai 2021, Australie ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Departing Derby we fly low over the tidal flats of King Sound across the Azure water of the Buccaneer archipelago.

When we landed on Talbot bay, and Kel took a swim with the Grey Nurse sharks.

Then the fast boat ride through the big and little gap fall, a sunset cruise on the bay, some appetizers, then grill Barra.

Slept on the pontoon air con cabin of course, early rise breakfast and another thrill ride through the falls.

Finally the scenic flight over the fall and the archipelago back into Derby.

Amazing, stunning and exhilarating.En savoir plus

Tunnel Creek NP
18 mai 2021, Australie ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
This cave system is a water worn tunnel beneath the Devonian Reef. This 750 M walk, required us to wad and even swam through permanent pools. We saw stalactites, one of which formed a bridal vale falls effect, there was even a fresh water crocodile laying in the creek, just his eyes gave him away in the darkness.

Exhilarating and a bit scarry.En savoir plus

Just 5O KLM in off the Gibb River Road, which took us nearly 2 hours to tow the van in. A windy rough road with numerous water crossing, dusty as. But it's a conservation park, used by the tour companies. It offers hot cold showeres, bar and restaurant and fuel. We explored Deloitte Gorge had a swim. Nice enough place but not worth the effort and stress on car and van.En savoir plus
