AUSSIE ADVENTURE

This started out as a retirement dream.
After months of planning and thousands of dollars, we were ready for the adventure with a new Isuzu D-Max X-Terrain Ute with several custom mods and a Retreat Fraser 216 R-Rev off road caravan. Czytaj więcej

    Ningaloo Glass Bottom Boat Tour

    2 listopada 2024, Indian Ocean ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    Today, we went on the Ningaloo Glass Bottom Boat tour. Our last glass-bottom boat tour was of the Great Barrier Reef.

    It was an absolutely amazing experience. The boat was comfortable and had a large window in the bottom that allowed us to see the ocean floor and all the coral and fish clearly. The information given on the tour was both humorous and informative. We did the two-hour boat tour, which included snorkelling. It’s a great way to experience how incredible the corals, fish, and turtles are here.

    We had an wonderful time. My only regret is that I didn’t have an underwater camera. It would have been amazing to capture this wonderful experience to share with everyone.     Czytaj więcej

    Yardie Creek Cruise

    3 listopada 2024, Australia ⋅ 🌬 31 °C

    Today, we went on the Yardie Creek Cruise with our friendly and personable tour guide, Mikhail. Mikhail was engaging and knowledgeable, cracking a few casual Aussie jokes while providing a good bit of history and local heritage information, as well as informing guests about the flora and fauna of the area. We enjoyed seeing the rare black-flanked wallabies, ospreys, fruit bats, and other bird and fish species, along with viewing outstanding geology and scenery throughout.

    Overall, this was a fantastic one-hour boat trip with plenty of great photo opportunities. Special thanks to Phil for editing and putting together this wonderful video of the gorge.     Czytaj więcej

    Quobba Blow Holes

    7 listopada 2024, Australia ⋅ 🌬 22 °C

    The Quobba Blow Holes offer a mesmerizing natural spectacle where the ocean crashes onto the rocks, sending water shooting high into the air through holes in the cliff face. After months of travelling, I thought I couldn’t be thrilled by something as I felt I had seen so much already. Witnessing this breathtaking display, the Quobba Blowholes are very impressive, as is the surrounding landscape. I even witnessed wild goats.

    Carnarvon Space and Technology Museum

    8 listopada 2024, Australia ⋅ 🌬 25 °C

    An interesting insight into Australian involvement in the space program.

    The museum is super informative and has something for everyone. There are many exhibits and various videos to watch. There is a full-scale model of the Lunar Module and an interactive area that is targeted at children but is just as fun for us oldies. There was so much to see, with plenty to explore and interact with.

    Buzz the space cat is also very cute!     Czytaj więcej

    Kalbarri - The Z Bend

    10 listopada 2024, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 23 °C

    The Z Bend in Kalbarri is a rare geological feature where the Murchison River makes two sharp turns in opposite directions, creating a Z-like shape.

    Z Bend, a stunning natural beauty and amazing place, offers a short, relatively easy walk to the lookout on a well-made path that leads to a great viewing platform of the river and gorge far below. From this vantage point, you can see the meandering river. There is also a longer, more demanding walk to the river.

    Kalbarri - Nature's Window

    10 listopada 2024, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

    An amazing place to go. It’s only a short walk to the Nature’s Window with a bit of easy rock climbing just before you get to the window. The natural beauty of this place is something everyone should see at least once.

    Kalbarri Nature's Window is a true gem and one of those places that stays with you long after you've left. An unforgettable experience for nature lovers, hikers, and photographers, with its iconic sandstone formation framing the Murchison River, diverse landscapes, gorges, beaches, and wildlife.

    Kalbarri - Skywalk

    10 listopada 2024, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 28 °C

    The Skywalk is a short walk from the car park, which takes you above the gorge, overlooking Kalbarri National Park. The construction of the two bridges is nothing short of amazing. Walking out onto the skywalk truly gives you a unique perspective of the landscape below.

    The structural steel viewing platform over the gorge is incredible and gives you the most amazing viewing experience of the Murchison River, the cliffs below, and the depths of Kalbarri National Park in the distance.     Czytaj więcej

    Kalbarri - Hawks Head Lookout

    10 listopada 2024, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    We had a wonderful drive out through the wildflower-laden countryside to Hawks Head Lookout. There are fantastic views in this very tranquil section of the National Park.

    Hawks Head is very mysterious and pretty. It is just a short stroll to the lookout, and you will see what millions of years of weathering the landscape has created—quite amazing. It is lovely to see the difference between the barren landscape and the river in the gorge. It is quite a surprise looking down into its chasm of greens and reds, but you do need a bit of imagination to see the Hawk's head in the outcrop.

    Kalbarri - Ross Graham River Walk

    10 listopada 2024, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C

    Ross Graham Lookout does not have as fantastic views as other lookouts; however, this one has a walk through the bush down to the river.

    What a beautiful place! Towering cliffs formed over millions of years as the water winds its way through. This has left behind some spectacular-looking ribbons of colour on the rocks. As you make your way down to the water's edge, you feel the temperature drop. The walk leading to the water varies in its terrain; there are a few areas that were a bit challenging. The delightful scenery with a few pools in the riverbed was certainly well worth the walk down. Czytaj więcej

    Pink Lake Lookout

    11 listopada 2024, Australia ⋅ 🌬 23 °C

    The Pink Lake in Port Gregory, Western Australia, is a stunning natural wonder. The lake's water turns a bright pink colour which is created by the presence of carotenoid-producing algae, Dunaliella salina. This algae is a source of beta-carotene, a food colouring agent, and a source of Vitamin A.

    The lake's colour changes throughout the day from bubblegum pink to lilac purple, depending on the time of day and the amount of cloud cover when you visit. It looks amazing, especially on sunny days when the colour really stands out. The beautiful pink water against the blue sky makes the view spectacular.     Czytaj więcej

    Kalbarri National Park Coastal Cliffs

    11 listopada 2024, Australia ⋅ 🌬 24 °C

    South of Kalbarri township lies a long stretch of coastal cliffs. Here the Indian Ocean butts up against the ancient Australian landmass, creating steep chasms, rocky inlets, and bizarre formations as it relentlessly carves away at the multi-colored layers of sandstone and limestone. There are a string of lookouts that dot this impressive coast.

    A few of the lookouts and walking trails were closed and under refurbishment. From what we did view, they were pretty amazing. For the enthusiastic hikers, there are several hiking trails accessible at multiple access points. The trails can be walked in either direction. On the day we visited the Coastal Cliffs, we saw the Grandstand, Shell House, Natural Bridge, Eagle Gorge, Island Rock, Mushroom Rock, and Red Bluff.     Czytaj więcej

    Eagle Bluff Lookout

    13 listopada 2024, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    Eagle Bluff Lookout offers breathtaking panoramic views of the rugged coastline and crystal-clear waters of Shark Bay. The lookout provides the perfect vantage point to marvel at the beauty of the surrounding landscape and observe marine life, including rays, sharks, turtles, and dugongs in their natural habitat. We stopped here on our way to Monkey Mia.

    Monkey Mia

    13 listopada 2024, Australia ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    We arrived at Monkey Mia Conservation Park, where we will stay for a couple of nights, away from the caravan. You could say we are having a holiday away from a holiday. Monkey Mia is renowned for its wild dolphin experience and is surrounded by rusty red sand dunes, white sandy beaches, and water teeming with wildlife. We must not forget the wild emus and their chicks and, of course, the cheeky seagulls and pelicans. Czytaj więcej

    Perfect Nature Cruise

    14 listopada 2024, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C

    Perfect Nature Cruise was a very interesting and worthwhile couple of hours. The crew was passionate and knowledgeable about the wildlife and the environment. They discussed in detail the seagrass restoration, which was of particular interest. It is great to see local environmental initiatives bearing fruit.

    While it’s a nature trip and nothing is guaranteed, we did view an osprey in its nest, and saw dolphins, dugongs, and other birdlife. Nothing was rushed, and there was ample time to sit and take it all in or snap some photographs. On the way home, you have the option to sit in the net at the back of the boat in the gorgeous waters of Monkey Mia.

    Willi Gully Caves

    16 listopada 2024, Australia ⋅ 🌬 25 °C

    Willi Gully Caves have fascinating rock formations, gorgeous, gnarly red gums, and two Aboriginal art sites. Some of the rock art has been eroded by the rain, but you can still see it well enough. We didn't explore too much as we visited late morning, and the area was quite warm with no shade. A nice easy walk. Czytaj więcej

    Our next destination is Dongara, where we will be staying in the seaside town of Port Denison. Port Denison is one of the largest and most productive fishing boat harbours in Western Australia. It is also a top spot for recreational fishing and water sports and is blessed with beautiful white sand beaches.

    Fremantle

    21 listopada 2024, Australia ⋅ 🌬 21 °C

    After a couple of days of relaxation in Port Denison, our batteries are now charged, and we are on the road again. This time we are headed to Fremantle, Perth. We look forward to doing some window shopping and exploring this beautiful city and its surrounding areas.

    After doing the usual set-up, I went for a walk to look at the lighthouse, not because it's another lighthouse, but due to its unusual position, 400 metres across the road from the caravan park where we are staying. Afterward, I went down to the jetty. It is so nice being close to the water.     Czytaj więcej

    Guilderton

    23 listopada 2024, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

    On our way to the Pinnacles, we stopped in at the coastal town of Guilderton for fuel. We then went for a look around town. Of course, we happened to come across a lighthouse. While Phil was getting drone footage, I went for a stroll to look around. I found some pretty wildflowers and took my own photographs.

    The Pinnacles Desert

    23 listopada 2024, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C

    The Pinnacles Desert is a unique and fascinating destination, with its stunning limestone formations set against the desert landscape. It's a great place to explore and take in the unusual scenery.

    We took the scenic drive through the desert, which is a 4-kilometre one-way loop with many parking areas along the way. This is a great opportunity to get out and walk around among the Pinnacles and take pictures.

    We visited the Pinnacles Desert on a day trip from Fremantle and were blown away by the surreal landscape. The thousands of limestone pillars resembling a lunar landscape were truly breathtaking. Overall, it was a unique and unforgettable experience.

    Serpentine Falls

    26 listopada 2024, Australia ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C

    Serpentine Falls is a popular tourist destination in Western Australia, known for its scenic beauty and natural attractions. It is located in the Serpentine National Park, about a 45-minute drive from Perth.

    The falls cascade down a granite cliff into a deep pool below. However, due to the time of year, the falls themselves are not that impressive. The park itself is also home to a variety of native fauna and wildlife, including kangaroos, wallabies, and birds.     Czytaj więcej

    We recently did the Captain Cook cruise, a great experience on the Swan River. We had a beautiful day with excellent weather. We did the return trip from Fremantle to Perth and found it to be relaxing and enjoyable. It was such a pleasant and scenic journey.

    A lovely, relaxing way to travel between Fremantle and Perth. Beautiful views along the river with informative commentary from the skipper. The boat was clean, comfortable, and had excellent viewing facilities. Refreshments were available on board too. It takes you right into the heart of Perth, where it is then easy to visit other attractions such as Kings Park.     Czytaj więcej
