    The last day in Sandy Cape. This morning we went for a walk up to the lookout again and a bit of an explore 😀 such a view from up there 😍 we then headed back and made cheeseburgers for lunch 😋 then we decided to head to the pub in Jurien Bay one last time as it got very windy in the afternoon. We enjoyed a couple of beers and watched the cricket. Still windy when we got back so we watched the sunset made a platter up of cheeses etc and enjoyed a games night in of UNO, go fish and draughts. I remain UNO champion 🏆 😆Read more

    Very sad to leave Sandy Cape but will definitely be going back...when the weather is nice it's perfect 🥰
    We popped into Lehman it was a lovely seaside town the waterfront was spectacular someone takes alot of care with those gardens. Then drove through Port Denison and stopped for lunch at a gorgeous little place in Dongara. Dongara is also home to the not so giant Lobster 😆

  • Geraldton 23rd-27th March

    March 24, 2022 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 33 °C

    Our time in Geraldton was fantastic. I managed to get a hair appointment and brows done...YAY!! we went out for lunch at Hog's Breath. Spent time at the waterfront and checked out the leaning tree. We stayed right on the beach in Geraldton and it was windy initially but the last couple of days although a few showers it was not very windy which was nice ❤Read more

  • Lucky Bay 27th-29th March

    March 27, 2022 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    Well Lucky Bay. Dont get me wrong it was lovely I just wasn't vibing with it. We seriously got bogged took us an hour of digging in the heat to get out (thanks for the not so helpful information camp host 🙄) lots and lots and lots of flies too but the sunsets were special ❤Read more

    March 28, 2022 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 25 °C

    Beautiful day out from Lucky Bay. We visited the not so Pink Lake 💗 it looks Pink from some places but mostly not pink 😆
    We went to the national park, natures window, natural bridge, blue holes, the skywalk and Red Bluff as well as a beer at a local Kalbarri pub. Loved it here although they are still really struggling and rebuilding from the cyclone 🌀 😢Read more

  • Shark Bay and surrounds

    March 30, 2022 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C

    Well today we set off relatively early. It was an emotional start to the day to be honest a beautiful baby kangaroo had been hit by a car and left for dead even though he was clearly alive and struggling...I called parks and wildlife and they came and put the poor baby to rest...RIP little one I'm sorry I couldn't save you 💔

    On a brighter note though we did visit Shell Beach and a few other places such as Little Lagoon and the thong shack 😆 along the peninsula, saw heaps of sharks but no turtles 👎 but hopefully soon!! Went to Monkey Mia but to be honest they wanted to much money even just to look around so we left but did see a family of emus which was beautiful 😍
    On our entrance to camp we found out there were artisan hot baths...it was HOT but we went anyway...I was looking at pictures etc in the display when a snake...yes a snake 🐍 fell down so we bolted out of there 😆😆😆
    All in all a memorable day I just wish people could be more kind and show a little compassion ❤️

  • Early departure🌧

    March 31, 2022 in Australia ⋅ 🌧 25 °C

    Well the rain came and didn't stop..
    With that we had to leave our beautiful campsite and try to make it to Hamelin Pool.

    We did make it and stayed at the roadhouse there...it was flooding but we were comfortable and were able to get a hot meal.

    So sad to leave Big Lagoon early..these pics from the morning we left it was glorious 💙

  • NWC highway/Carnarvon

    April 1, 2022 in Australia ⋅ 🌧 26 °C

    Interesting but nerve wracking trip up the north west coastal highway...
    Lots of water rain and water crossings. Later in the day they closed the road so grateful to have made it to Carnarvon. We loaded up on fuel and supplies washed my hair 🤪 and stayed at a beautiful caravan park which later flooded but we were safe and well looked after 🙂Read more

  • Carnarvon to Winderabandi

    April 3, 2022 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

    3 nights at Winderabandi ❤ to say it was hectic to get here would be a bit of an understatement it was so wet after all of that rain I reckon we did over 100 water crossings some over half a metre deep there were actually moments when I didn't think we'd make it through 😬
    Was it worth it yes!!! Beautiful amazing spot right on the beach...weather Beautiful 😍 there had been a recent coral fish kill though so the water was a bit cloudy so no snorkelling. Swimming was good though and from the beach/campsite we watched turtles, dolphins, jumping fish, stingrays and even sharks 🦈 😑 lots of crabs too 🦀 brilliant spot 👌

  • Leaving Onslow to Dampier

    April 18, 2022 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 34 °C

    After a beautiful Easter stay at Onslow it's time to move on. We left for Dampier about a 3 hour drive. The caravan park is very small in Dampier but we're pretty happy with the spot we chose online when booking 😊. We had no neighbours the entire 3 nights it didn't get windy 😀. It was beside a beautiful big gum tree and you could see the ocean. Dampier is tiny but a beautiful little town 10 minutes from Karratha. We chose to stay in Dampier as the CP in Karratha didn't look very good at all.Read more
