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
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
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
Decided to take a little side trip to Karumba, a town known for fishing and sunsets. I got there in time for the weekly market. Love the body language on these men, they really don’t want to be there, I think they are just about tolerating their kids. Fishing here is serious business, the golf … More Gone Fishing……….almost
Wasn’t quite ready to wave goodbye to the coastline so drove a little further north to Cape Tribulation. Loved the Daintree Rainforest, it’s a slightly ravaged, often luscious and in combination a beautiful colourful natural mess. One morning I was sitting on Cow Beach, watching this guy fishing with his dog, think it was Tuesday, … More If you go down to the woods today………….
I think this post will be brief for a number of reasons: 1) details are sketchy and 2) details are sketchy. However somethings will forever be etched on my memory. Had my first fly in vistor at the weekend in Cairns. Maeve Fogarty landed once the bats had let her through onto the runway and we … More Weekend at Bernies / Cairns
I don’t normally take advice from registration plates, but in this case I felt obliged. It was time to park up and maintain a healthy 180deg position on the sand. Found some great spots to sit a read a few books, one of which I started last year! When did I stop reading? Anyway I … More Relax it’s Queensland…………..
Decided yesterday was the day to make some progress up the coast. Lots of roadworks though so many stops needed to enjoy the sunshine. First up was Corindi Beach, just north of Coffs Harbour. Was very tempted to stop at the pub with a name like this. Instead had some time at the beach and drove … More Roadworks…….lots of roadworks so many stops needed
