It's Easter coming up and we're told our next proposed places on our itinerary are going to be booked out due to school holidays. They are only very small places having said that. Anyway we decide on a detour to see the Kennedy Ranges an area not visited by many people and it's due East. Our suspicions regarding Carnarvon's telecoms suppliers were not completely accurate and we did manage to find someone who could sell us a Sim card for the iPad, but sadly noth...

Carnarvon A reasonably gentle drive to Carnarvon ended up with a closed road and detour signs sending us and other confused travellers round in circles and driving around the airport car parks and runway. Eventually escaped the trap and found our small friendly campsite that we were aiming for. Immediately set off for the one tourist attraction in the town of a mile long jetty jutting out into the Indian Ocean, which of course we had to walk to the end for sun...

Much to say and report on, but we're getting behind on the blog and time is short again tonight, so will try to be a bit briefer. Journey to Denham was reasonably easy and steady with a stop of at Hamelin Bay to see a very early telegraph station and some stromatolites. What the heck are they I hear. Well they're some of the oldest living things in the world. They are found in only a few places in the world at the edge of an ocean (very salty) and grow 0.3mm...

Today was somewhat different as we decided to move on and just see where we got to. A leisurely breakfast and pack up saw us on the road to our last gorge view known as the Z bend and there are no prizes for guessing why it's called that. As an aside, Angie is most concerned about the misuse of apostrophes on all the National Park signs (note to John Watson, though he has just retired, and is no longer at the department that runs the parks) Next we take a slig...

Our stay in the Kalbarri region has been exhilarating, knackering, exciting and one to remember. One day driving to all the sea cliff views and walks, followed by a trip to Hawks Head, one of the iconic views of West Australia where the Murchison River has cut some gorges through the red layered rocks. To get there, you drive along a flat prairie like dirt road, totally unaware of the view soon to be encountered, as a gorge drops unexpectedly below you. Angie r...
