We left Esperance on Sunday and tried to go shopping before heading back east towards a town called Bremer Bay, unfortunately because it was Sunday all the shops were closed so we had to leave the town with absolutely no food for dinner! We drove for around 4 hours and finally got to our next stop, which we had only decided to stop at originally because it sounds so much like Joel's last name! It's a really nice, quiet town though, and luckily the supermaket was ...

We set off from our campsite in Albany and drove about 5 hours East to a small town called Esperance - even after driving all this way we were still about 2 days drive from the border with South Australia - WA is beyond huge! I was feeling really ill, so I slept for basically the entire day and didn't eat anything - I missed the entire journey. Once we got to Esperance we found a campsite and I went straight back to sleep in the tent. The next day luckily I was f...

South Western WA is very different to everywhere else we have visited in Australia so far.

It took us about 5 hours to get down to Albany, the oldest town in WA, and we found a campsite right on the beach, we can ac...

We've been back in Perth for a few days to meet up with the people we are house sitting for over Christmas, and making the most of having electricity in the hostel! We've also sorted out some of our travelling for after Christmas, we've booked a trip to Tasmania and bought tickets to go to the 3rd round of the Australian Open. On Sunday we took a daytrip to Rottnest Island, which is an island about 20km off the coast of Perth. We had to get up very early to be pi...

We've spent the last couple of days in Carnarvon, about halfway between Karratha and Perth. It was a long 395 miles to get here, after a not so great nights sleep in Karratha (being woken up by birds in the trees at 4am isn't the best), so we just relaxed around the campsite for our first afternoon. The next day we explored the town, starting with the Carnarvon Space and Technology Museum. This explained all about how the town was involved with helping NASA with ...
