I might need an ark! A rainy day today so had loads of free time indoors with power and wifi – simple pleasures It’s the first chance I have actually had to look through all my photos from the trip so far. Wow! It really is good to stop every once in a while and just … More Snatches and Glimpses
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!
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?
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
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
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……..
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.
There were a couple of clues on the road in, that this place was going to be different! It was well worth the drive. Boodjamulla, (Lawn Hill) National Park was simply stunning. Spent some time here hiking around. When I look at the photographs it’s hard to believe they are all from the same place … More Stretching the legs at Boodjamulla, (Lawn Hill) National Park
