      The Tip (Outback Trip Day 6)

      July 3, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 82 °F

      Yesterday, five of us took the Toyota up the Roma Flat track. It was a really good thing the truck was 4 wheel drive! Loads of fun!

      This morning we all got up for brekky, then headed off for The Tip, the northern most point of Australia. Ten bikes went up and five of us went on the Toyota. The truck took the long way in the hardpacked road while the bikes headed up Roma. We met up and drove up to The Tip for a picture by the sign.

      After that, we headed to Somerset, where Steve's greatgrandparents are now buried. Their remains were returned a couple of years ago from Germany. They and nine other Aboriginals were "sent" (kidnapped) there to be "studied" (murdered) by Nazis. All were killed.

      We left there towards the east coast near Albany Island, where we hopped through the bush between five beaches. Stunningly beautiful waters and landscapes. We're at the last beach the truck could get to, and the bikes have just returned from the sixth beach. Yeehaw!!!

      So long [for now] and thanks for all the fish. ✌️

      5 beaches drive

      August 20, 2022 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C

      We headed to Somerset for the 5 beaches loop that stops off at a few historical sites along the way. The beaches were lovely and super windy, cant swim at any of them of course, but still a nice drive. Once we got back we attempted to do a load of washing, turns out, only 1 machine is working and there was a line up of piles of clothes. I decided on a nap, second of the trip, and ben reorganised the car and dried out the straps and bits that got wet over the last few days. It was our turn for washing, Ben put it on while I was waking up and we went through some photos. When the timer went off we headed for the laundry to hang out our load. The lady after Ben seemed to skip the line, he mentioned that there was a line up but she shrugged and said that the piles had been there all day. Well! Then began the laundry debacle. We were hanging ours out and there were a few loud, angry voices about whoevers load was in, skipped the line and they were not happy, understandably though. Down to the beach bar for a few drinks and dinner, tonight we had the fried cmembert bites, chicken pizza and pan fried mackerel, another great meal. Such a nice spot on the water, just relaxing. Finished dinner, threw our load in the dryer, grabbed a few drinks and watched the sunset on the beach. Shower time and the usual netflix before bed.Read more
