Today was all about SCUBA diving and snorkelling on the Ningaloo Reef, a place that gives the Great Barrier Reef a run for its money. So spectacular. Most proud of my travelling companion who came on the dive trip and snorkelled two reefs and two other occasions to view the…

After enjoying a sumptuos meal out last night in Carnarvon, enjoying the delicious fresh snapper and other tasty food plus wine, we set off a little later for today’s journey. Before we left town we visited the space museum and telecommunications centre. Carnarvon played a key role as a ground…
Today’s highlight was visiting the Blowholes area near Pt Quobba just north of Carnarvon, being about a 140 km round trip. Potentially a dangerous area on the rocks there in wild weather and high seas. Today was relatively calm yet you can still see images of the roaring seas below….
Left Shark Bay early and drove through to Carnarvon, a distance of about 320 km. Largely uneventful although we did need to be vigilant at times given the prevalence of feral goats along the highway. At least goats seem to have slightly more road sense than kangaroos, the latter being…
Up early to get to Monkey Mia for the first dolphin feeding session for that day. After an easy 22 km trip looking directly into the rising sun, we arrived in plenty of time, joining about another 170 tourists for the show. Much care is provided to keep the tourists…

Kalbarri has been quite a wonderland and a destination I would recommend to anyone who can venture to these parts. We have explored the deep gorges yesterday and we completed a tour of the coastline today. All ancient lands being battered and shaped by the sea, the wind, the rain…
Up early to visit the amazing Kalbarri National Park and discover and be in awe of the stunning scenery, the deep gorges and the gently flowing Murchison River. We did tackle the longest walk first being a 6 km in and out hike, although that was instead of the full…
Our day started early leaving Cervantes and breakfast in beautiful Jurien Bay. Breakfast by the beach. Then cruising through some undulating and interesting countryside, with the ocean view never too far way. Soon it was lunch in the equally lovely Horrocks Beach, just north of Geraldton after our first refuel…
Day started with being picked up in Perth CBD and taken for breakfast in South Perth on the Swan River. Then to pick up our trusty camper to start our road-trip north up the coast of Western Australia. Many thanks to our young family friend who was so kind and…
