Today we completed the GRR journey but not before we toured two final destinations within the El Questro precinct. After an early start at 7am, we briefly visited the thermal pools at Zebedee Springs and then the beautiful Emma Gorge, a class 4 walk about 2km each way. Then resting…
A day in and around El Questro. In the morning the beautiful El Questro Gorge. Very weary after that so home for lunch and rest. Lookout at Pigeon Hole after lunch (read the drama below) and walk Amalia Gorge late afternoon. A late dip in the waterhole adjacent to our…
Today’s focus was to get to our destination unscathed as we had quite a few kilometres to travel. Ironically we were relieved to be back on the GRR road after our 36km bypass overnight, given the road to Mt Elizabeth was very corrugated and windy. This driver also discovered that…

Today marks the end of our campervan trip from Perth, over the past three weeks. However, we savoured the last few hours this morning to first admire the lovely sky at sunrise, and after, be fascinated by the haste of the incoming tide, just adjacent to our camp site. You…
Arrived at our camping spot in Broome’s Roebuck Bay (faces south east with Cable Beach on the other side of this small peninsula, facing west), a few kilometres out of town, just after lunch. We completed our third straight day driving so now have a few days to chill and…
