Gehirnfressende Amöben
January 17, 2020 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C
Im Serpentine Nationalpark angekommen waren wir sprichwörtlich von Känguruhs umzingelt. Sie haben es sich einfach auf der schattigen Raseninsel gemütlich gemacht und lassen sich von den paar Besuchern kaum stören. Man kann ihnen entsprechend nah kommen, aber bitte beachten: Man sollte sie keinesfalls anfassen, streicheln oder gar füttern!
Hält sich leider kaum jemand dran...

An diesem Tag war es wieder über 30 Grad heiß und die Wanderung zum Gipfel des Baldwin Bluffs dementsprechend anstrengend. Nur zu gerne wären wir auch in den kleinen See der Serpentine Falls hineingesprungen, aber dort wurden vor zwei Tagen Amöben der Gattung "Neagleria fowleri" nachgewiesen.
Diese stehen im Verdacht eine eitrige Hirnhautentzündung zu verursachen, wenn sie in Berührung mit der Nasenschleimhaut kommen und weiter zum Gehirn wandern. Darauf hatten wir nun wirklich keine Lust und beließen es einfach bei ein paar Fotos, denn hübsch anzusehen ist der Wasserfall allemalRead more

Back in Perth
December 7, 2017 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Nach 25.401 km und 311 Tagen sind wir am 3. Dezember endlich zurück in Perth angekommen. Auf dem Weg dorthin sind wir in Lancelin gewesen, was auch wieder ein super Spot zum Kite- und Windsurfen ist. In der Umgebung gibt es riesige Sanddünen, wo man u.a. Sandboarden kann, das haben wir natürlich mal ausprobiert.

Nun in Perth, werden wir schweren Herzens unseren Camper wieder verkaufen. Bis es soweit ist, können wir hier in der Gegend noch viel unternehmen. Zum Beispiel haben wir den Safety Bay zum Kiten schon ausprobiert und waren im Wake Board Park Perth, was viel Spaß gemacht hat.

After 25,401 km and 311 days we're finally arrived back in Perth on the 3th December! On the way there, we've been to Lancelin, which is also an awesome spot for kite- and windsurfing. In the surroundings there are huge sand dunes, where you can do activities like sandboarding, what we certainly gave a trial.

Now in Perth, we will heavy-heartedly sell our campervan. Until it comes to that point, we can do a lot of things in these quarters. For instance we already gave the Safety Bay a trial for kitesurfing and we've been to the Wake Board Park Perth, which was great fun.Read more

Serpentine Falls
September 26 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C
Had a lovely drive out to Serpentine Falls from Pinjarra. Such lush green pastures. Lots of stunning race horse studs. Its a big area for the racing industry.

We picked up some sangs at the local butcher and packed a salad. A perfect day for a BBQ. A lovely shady picnic area under the gums. The BBQ were spotless.
Then did the walk down to the falls. Only 600 meters so not very taxing.

Plus found some great flowers
- blue leschenaultia
- purple flag flower
- short-spiked gravilla
- borya nitida labill (pincushions)
- parrot bush (banksia family)Read more
Traveler That’s such a beautiful area. How far down in WA are you there?

Had a great week in Perth! We stayed at a private property on 10 acres just south of Perth which was awesome. This place was VERY social, and we spent a couple of big nights in the communal shed around the fireplace.

Only a 30 minute drive in to Perth where we checked out the city, Kings Park, The Bell Tower, Elizabeth Quay and we did a 2 hour cruise on the Swan River. This cruise took us up to Fremantle and back where we saw all the river-front mansions of Perth's rich and famous. Also spent a day touring the beaches from Fremantle up to Cottesloe, City, and Scarborough beaches...Cottesloe being our favourite.

Much to Marg's disgust, I took her to a guided tour of the WACA. Only four on the tour and really enjoyed checking out the Bradman Room ($3300 per season), the Stump Lounge and the museum. Watched Justin Langer and Geoff Marsh training the WA team while we were there. I think Marg enjoyed it more than she thought she would...

We also took advantage of cheap tuesdays and went over on the ferry to "Rotto" where we cycled 11km around the Island checking out all the beaches, lighthouse and of course the Quokka's.

We loved Fremantle where we had a couple of dinners out, fish and chips at the famous Cicerello's, and did a tour of Fremantle Gaol.

Weather was cold when we first arrived at 4° one morning, but warmed up to 12° - 23°Read more
