    HOT HUMID AND WET, WITH A CHANCE OF A CYCLONE IN THE AFTERNOON

    Well, by now, you would have heard of cyclone Zelia, currently category 4, probably 5 by this time tomorrow. Now imagine yourself in a tin can in a hot, humid caravan park in Karratha, where you are here for 2 nights, this was Monday when it was still a tropical low, just North West of…

  • SEA, SALT- n -SAND

    SEA, SALT- n -SAND

    CORAL BAY Well, Coral Bay surprised us, not so much it being empty but that we actually for once sat still for almost 48 hours! It’s in our nature (well, mine anyway) to keep moving, doing stuff, and always looking for something to do. So with nothing happening, we actually wound down, slowed down. And…

  • G’DAY QUOBBA

    G’DAY QUOBBA

    Mate, Strewth and Good on ya! Our journey north continues, after a pleasant but warm night in Carnarvon, where we made good use of the pool, freezer and camp kitchen.  We trundled on up the road, before turning off to head into the Quobba blowholes, a place we hadn’t visited since before it got popular…

  • IT’S GETTING HOT IN HERE

    IT’S GETTING HOT IN HERE

    Driving north, the distant plume of smoke on the horizon began to grow, turning that dark grey that could only mean one thing…… Bushfire!.

    The Indian Pacific- Across Australia in 4 Days

    With bleary eyes we clawed into consciousness, stumbling awake, on a Sunday morning when the alarm came on, and though it was tempting to turn it off, roll over and drift back to sleep, it was with a sense of excitement that we crawled out from the warmth into the cold early morning. Today was…

    Adventure North – New Territory

    Crossing the Border, we finally enter the NT. Take a walk back in time at Joes Creek, swim in hot springs at Katherine, Mataranka and Bitter springs, watch Brolgas walk through town, and get surrounded by Butterflies

  • Adventue North – To the Border and Beyond

    Adventue North – To the Border and Beyond

    Waking up to bird song always makes for a pleasurable start to the day, well usually unless your trying to sleep in….(and some noisy little critter is chirping away about how pretty the sunrise is and that he made it through another night and how he so glad to be here in his little patch…
