  • Beautiful Broome for my beautiful friend

    14. jul.–25. aug. 2024, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    Broome, beautiful Broome!!!.
    I'm ticking this off for my friend Jill's bucket list!
    Lots of photos to come of some of our favourite places and activities in Broome.
    Stay posted.

  • Broome

    18. juli 2024, Australien ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C

    Another beautiful day. I was going to play tennis this morning but it was very windy at 8 am. Three friends and I then decided to play Pickleball inside.... away from the wind. It was fun as they are all learning!!! This afternoon, we drove to Gantheaume Point to take this video for you, Jill..
    It's a lovely beach and doesn't have the waves that Cable Beach has. I'm a bit fearful of waves.

  • Farewell dear Jill

    26. juli 2024, Australien ⋅ 🌙 16 °C

    Yesterday, my dear friend of 48 years sadly lost her fight with ovarian cancer. She fought it so bravely, and I had so much admiration for her. We had a lovely day with her and her husband Roger in Kapunda SA. with Jason and Rebecca.
    That was in May this year, and I know that Jill really enjoyed reading my footprints on this last trip, as John and I travelled through half of Australia.
    RIP Jill.

  • Last week in Broome

    26. august 2024, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    We had a 39-degree day today. After exercising early, it was back in the caravan to read and nod off in the air-conditioning until a late lunch. This arvo we watched Netflix for a couple of hours and then sat outside with our dinner and watched a bit of TV.
    Last Saturday night, we said farewell to a few friends who are heading home soon. We enjoyed a beautiful dinner at the Bali Hai.
    This morning, we said, "See you at home" to Jen and Doug and Sue and Ron.

  • Farewell to Broome

    31. august 2024, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    Our last day in wonderful Broome. All packed up this morning, and then we drove to Gantheaume this afternoon for a last walk on the beach and a lovely swim. We had 90 per cent humidity today and a 33-degree day. The ocean was quite warm.
    Back at the park, we said our farewells to a few remaining friends and went to the fishing club for dinner. It was a lovely evening with a gentle breeze blowing.
    We'll probably be on the road fairly early tomorrow . We're usually awake at 5.30 am. and whilst we only have under 300 kms to drive to Eighty Mile Beach, by the time we have brekkie and refuel at Roebuck Roadhouse, we will probably arrive there at about 10.30 am.

  • Eighty Mile Beach

    1. september 2024, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C

    Well, after a very hot day to get here, we're sitting outside having a lovely candlelit dinner, and it's 28 degrees. Beautiful evening with a gentle breeze blowing.
    We were just about to pull into Sandfire Roadhouse when I asked John what the outside temperature was. 40 degrees!!!! I couldn't believe it, as we were travelling in "The Luxury " of our air-conditioned D-Max.
    We settled in to the caravan park, put the air-conditioning on, and that's basically where we stayed.
    We've booked here for 3 nights, but tomorrow looks as though it's going to be another hot 37°.
    I'm really not complaining! Hopefully, John will throw a line in tomorrow! We need some fish!!!!!

  • Eighty Mile Beach to Mt Robinson

    4. september 2024, Australien ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    It was another very hot day yesterday with a heavy sea fog that came in about 10 am and lifted at about 2 pm. ( John went fishing again, in the fog!)

    We left 80 Mile at 5.45 am. this morning.
    Not quite as hot today, 38°....but fine in the car.
    We stopped for brekkie and coffee at Pardoo and then on to Pt Hedland for fuel.
    We were expecting roadworks but didn't see any. There were lots and lots of trucks though, most travelling to Hedland.
    Lunch at Albert Toglanini lookout and then on to Mt Robinson for our overnighter. Still bl....hot.
    Hopefully, it will be cooler tomorrow as we head to Newman and then Meekatharra or thereabouts.

  • Mount Robinson to Cue.

    5. september 2024, Australien ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C

    We left Mt Robinson around 7 a.m. this morning, and I certainly took heed of the warning of dingoes in the area. Thank goodness we didn't see any. It's quite spectacular scenery around these parts.
    I spoke too soon about not seeing any roadworks !!!!
    This morning, I can't tell you how many new overtaking lanes they were making, plus new shoulders on the sides of the road. These are essential for all the huge trucks carrying their loads of iron ore to Pt Hedland. The works were nearly finished, so we weren't held up for too long. Stopped at Newman for fuel, then Meekatharra, before arriving in Cue around 4.30pm.
    We're staying overnight here but can't believe the minimum temp is going to be 7°.
    I'm not sure where we'll go tomorrow. Maybe cut across to see more wildflowers in Mullewa or Mingenew.
    Sorry, I thought I took more photos!

  • Cue to Moora.

    7. september 2024, Australien ⋅ 🌙 14 °C

    We left Cue RV park, and it was very cold as forecast. We decided to drive on through Meekatharra, where we stopped for fuel. After passing Mt Magnet, we started seeing wildflowers everywhere, and it was so beautiful. Carpets of differing colours. We had decided to go straight to Moora rather than taking the Mullawa, Mingenew route, where most of the wildflowers are. The fields of yellow canola were also so stunning, every which way we looked!
    We arrived in Moora at about 4 pm and set up to watch the footy. What a fantastic game that was. Today, I washed all the bedding, so that's one job I don't have to do when we get home.
    We're looking forward to being home again after 5 mths away and catching up with friends and family. We have had a wonderful holiday and it's been good to record our travels, and photos on "Penguins". These I will always be able to refer to in the future on this app.
    I do hope you've enjoyed our travels and shared in some of this wonderful country that we are fortunate enough to live in.
