From Carnarvon we trekked down to Denham, a little seaside town on the west side of the peninsula from Monkey Mia, near the westerly-most point in Australia. As we are quickly learning, it is very hard to find a place out of the wind at this time of the year, and Denham was no exception. After a few days of getting windblasted, we moved camp to Monkey Mia itself, we figured it was better to get windblasted there, in a more resort-style environment! We watched th...

We decided to take the short cut (read: dirt road) from Cape Range National Park down to Coral Bay. Heck, we've done over 2000km on the dirt so far, this 150km trek was going to be easy... After 3 hours, one bogging in the sand (Steve & Lisa), and a million bumps, we finally made it to Coral Bay. By no means was it a short cut, but it was definitely an adventure. The wind had picked up again, making fishing rather difficult, but the boys gave it a fair crack...

We put in a solid day's drive from Point Samson and arrived in Exmouth in the late afternoon, slightly deranged from being in the car for so long (we only usually do 2-3 hours at a time these days), and perhaps also from all the lollies we ate along the way. We found Lisa, Steve and Torah at the caravan park, and it was a joyous reunion, even though we'd only been apart a few days. Lee had his fishing buddy back, and Lea had her cardgame/beachgoing buddy back. Al...

On leaving Karijini, Tom Price, and Lisa, Steve and Torah behind, we travelled through Millstream National Park - once a cattle station, the beautiful old homestead now serves as an information centre. We spent most of the day touring around the yards of the homestead, checking out the large spring-fed waterway, and taking a drive down a road named after our favourite tree for campfire timber - the Snappy Gum. Snappy, Snappy everywhere and not a limb to burn... n...

We finally tore ourselves away from Broome, after staying in the region for almost 4 weeks. Like we've said previously, its great to be back at the beach. Still travelling with Lisa, Steve and Torah, our first stop was 80 Mile Beach, where we spent a couple of days - the boys fishing, and the girls looking at shells and for nesting turtles. Unfortunately our timing was out for the latter, although we saw quite a few fresh tracks, and other people in the caravan...
