  • Coral Bay (WK 7)

    Guess who!

    Another short drive up the coast to the southern tip of Ningaloo Reef, Coral Bay. I’m sure if we’d visited Coral Bay 30 years ago we’d hate it here, it’s one big caravan park. However, the reef is amazing, the best we’ve seen in Australia (comparable to Lady Elliot Island).

  • Carnarvon (WK 7)

    The Aquarium

    What a lovely town Carnarvon is. Only a 2 night stay but we’ve packed in a visit to the Space and Science museum, snorkelling at the aquarium, visit to the Quobba blowhole, the ‘fruit loop‘ drive and a walk along the Fascine boardwalk. Phew I’m exhausted thinking about it.

    A windy Steep Point

    We are back on our plan with a 10 day stay at Shark Bay Caravan Park in Denham. A long break from travel to see all the attractions, as such a couple of blogs are required to cover our stay.

    Part 1: Monkey Mia, Steep Point and the Stromatolites.

  • Northampton (replan for Kalbarri) (WK 5)

    A panoramic view of the Hutt Lagoon Pink Lake

    Due to the damage caused by cyclone Seroja we were unable to stay in Kalbarri nor were we able to visit Kalbarri National Park (NP). So, we have made the most of some downtime with relaxing 😊. We tried to volunteer to assist in the cleanup, but they need qualified safety certified tradies not cowboy IT geeks. We have loved our time in Northampton including the Anzac dawn service.

  • Geraldton (WK 4)

    We made it – the west coast of Australia and the Indian Ocean

    We have made it to the west coast of Australia. We both feel pretty pleased with ourselves. We arrived in Geraldton on 19/04/2021 for a 2 night stay at the Geraldton Caravan Park for a scheduled car service, stock replenishment and car/van cleaning (mud and red dust everywhere).

  • The Outback Way (WK 4)

    Crossing the Outback Way from Winton QLD to Laverton WA (2800km) has been an amazing experience. I’m not sure either of us want to repeat it anytime soon but we are glad we did it. And we are loving being back on tar after 5 days driving 1100 km on the western section mainly on dirt.
