I have reached the end of the Savannah Way and the coast! Broome, I could have easily stayed here a long time. What’s not to like about a town that has a beach 22km long? Although I did find out one thing when I went for a run one morning……. the nudist part of the … More Horizontal in Broome
I began the day in Fitzroy Crossing. Here’s a picture of the Fitzroy river, one of Australia’s largest, but this is it in the dry season. From the dry river bed I went to Derby, home of the Australia’s highest tides. An average of 10m. It’s hard to fully appreciate or even fathom the impact water … More Water Water………..
So I went along to see the Bungle Bungles or Purnululu National Park. Purnululu is the name given to the sandstone area of the Bungle Bungle Range by the Kija Aboriginal people. The name means sandstone. It was easily one of the most spectacular and memorable places on the trip so far. In this case the road was too … More Bungled at the Bungles
People have been asking me if I get lonely traveling by myself. I realised I haven’t said much about who I have met along the way. So in case you are wondering – I do talk to other people! Such a great cross section of life is on the road, you can never tell who … More Lance Who?
This one wasn’t one of those days. How good is the view? Am at Lake Argyle in Western Australia, what’s not to like about a place like this? This is my first taste of the Kimberleys in WA and I like it! The road here built on what I saw approaching Timber Creek and in … More Some days are tougher than others……..
Stopped for a night at Timber Creek. I found out when I got there that they are freshwater crocs in the the creek at the campsite. Interesting fellows to watch. For the Irish readers, generally freshies aren’t interested in humans, they leave that action up up to their saltwater cousins so I was safe as … More I got my eye on you!
I was really keen to go there, perhaps that’s why. A lot of people choose to go to Kakadu form Darwin but I had been there on previous trips so thought I would try something new and head to Litchfield instead. I had read somewhere that it was “a waterbabies dream day out”. So thinking … More I cannot put my finger on it, but I didn’t love Litchfield National Park.
Have been hanging out in Darwin for a few days. Could have stayed a lot longer so good was the hospitality! Was great to catch up with the former Sinead Ruane, now Mrs Olivetta since my last visit to the Top End and meet her family Mark & Ciara. I was absolutely spoilt from when … More Darwin …………catching up with an old friend
On the way to Darwin I stopped at Mataranka. There are a few thermal pools to choose from and I found my favourite at Bitter Springs. These pools flow at a constant 32 degrees and are still very much in their natural state. In this one you can glide with the current downstream and pop out … More The Original Lazy River
