The weather has taken a bit of a dip recently which has meant that I am moving quite quickly down the the coast to Perth. That’s not to say it hasn’t been interesting. I saw this on Facebook last week……….. Ouch! It gave me something to think about. Suspect it confirmed what some people have … More My tan is fading!
I have landed in Shark bay. A place far more serene than the name suggests, beautiful in fact. Many come here to see the dolphins in Monkey Mia, which I said hello to. However the big excitement in town was Speedway. I had never heard of it let alone being to one before so a whole … More Herbie goes to Monkey Mia
Am definitely in slow motion, travelled a whopping 70km to get to Carnarvon. As a child I probably turned my nose up at fruit and vegetables but here I relished them. Available everywhere so I got more than my 5 a day. No chance of scurvy, as the town is responsible for growing approx 70% … More 5 a Day
What comes after whalesharks? Well a few quiet days in fact. I decided to leave Exmouth when I found myself gliding down the street thinking I was a fish. Too much time in the water. I drove south to Coral Bay to check it out, but as it was school holidays the place looked like a fat … More Where to now?
Where do I start? Today was amazing. Spent the day in the water with whalesharkS. Am grinning like a chesire cat. All up swam with 6 different ones ranging in size from 3m to 9m. Easily the best day of the trip so far. Amazing to see these beautiful animals up close and doing their … More What lies beneath?
It’s great to wash off the red dirt and feel the sand on my toes. Have been in Exmouth for a few days and tomorrow I will hopefully get to swim with whalesharks 🙂 Have only driven approx 12,000km to get here so am hoping they will all be out in the water calling my name. … More Exmouth, a town with Emus crossing the road
I think I like having no phone – occasionally. Have spent the last few days in Karijini National Park, and it’s up there as a contender for a favourite of the trip. It’s hard to pin down exactly why some places give you an energy, but this one did for me. Maybe it’s because I … More A contender for favourite place so far….
Today I am in Millstream National Park, complete with a new tent. I was camping under trees last night and the birds have very kindly christened it. Hopefully that means good luck. They also just shit on my shoulder as I was about to eat my dinner. Guess that means I am lucky they missed … More Catching up with myself and dreaming of a healthier body
From Broome I am heading south on the Walu Way, to get to Exmouth and the whalesharks. The first stretch involves abit of highway driving so when I came across a place with the word ‘beach’ in it’s name, I had to stop. 80 Mile Beach, bliss. I Intended to stop for a break instead … More On the way south
