Sleeping in a tent takes some getting used to, even a luxurious tent like the one we had for the night. I woke up after a few hours of sleep with rhot legs while my upper body and head were freezing. But breakfast was good and we were ready to start the day. Things are…
Karijini National Park
Today we put our 4- wheel drive to good use and took State Route 136 (Nanutarra- Munjina Road) to Hamersley Gorge in Karijini National Park. It is a gravel road that you can only navigate with an all terrain vehicle. Regular cars need to take the detour via Paraburdoo. As the roads here are rather…
Cheela Plains Station
From Exmouth we drove towards Karijini National Park. Our original plans were to drive directly into the park which would have meant to drive for 8,5 hours straight. What sounds like a lot to Europeans is actually a very normal thing to do for Australians. However, we did not dare to drive this long so…
Ningaloo Reef
A new day and new adventures to explore. But first we had to take care of some logistics- as we were heading into Karijini National Park the following day we reorganized our luggage. Karijini would be camping instead of hotel rooms. We therefore packed soft bags instead of our hard case suitcases, hoping that we…
Exmouth and Ningaloo Reef
After the disappointment the previous day we left Coral Bay early in the morning to get to Exmouth before noon. Again the drive was a long distance straight ahead with not much to see. What sounds boring turned out to be quite relaxing. You can’t drive faster than 110km/ hour and we enjoyed the trip…
Coral Beach
Coral Beach is a popular holiday spot on the West coast of Australia. It is located right in front of the Ningaloo Reef. Coral Bay is a special place in that the reef is just right at the water’s edge, making it easy to go snorkeling. We came here for a boating trip along the…
Monkey Mia to Carnavon
Today we started early with a gorgeous sunrise at Monkey Mia. While hubby was taking a shower, I got to see the first dolphins who were eagerly waiting to be fed. But it took too long for them, so they returned to the Indian Ocean and a new star showed up stealing the show: a…
Francois Perron National Park
Originally we had hired a regular car for our trip. But our destination for today, Francois Perron National Park, is only accessible to all terrain vehicles. We therefore decided to book a tour with naturetimetours.com to enter the park. Turned out to be a fantastic decision anyway. We could have driven into the park by…
Monkey Mia
After leaving Kalbarri town we headed to Hawks Head in Kalbarri National Park. We arrived at the right time, it was absolut quiet and you could hear nothing but bird song and the rushing of a waterfall in the distance. This country really makes you breath more calmly and slows you down, it’s so relaxing….
Kalbarri National Park
We started the day with a visit to the Kalbarri Sky Walk in Kalbarri National Park. The impressive structure blends extremely well into its surroundings while providing visitors with a stunning view of the Murchison River. From the Skywalk we drove just a few minutes to Nature‘s window, a whole in the rock framing a…
