    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 surface

  • Eco Retreat Karijini NP

    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.

    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.Baca lagi
