Everyone was very exciting heading out of Gladstone Campground today only having to travel an hour or so up the road to Carnarvon where we would see our friends, Jack and Julie again. They were the girls surrogate grandparents from our time in Geraldton and we hadn't seen them for ages, we all couldn't wait. They had arranged for us to stay for free in an area at the OTC Space Museum where they were volunteering which we were very grateful. When we arrived it ...

Gladstone Campground was to be our next camp for the next few days. Had heard good things about this place and it was cheap at $11 p.n. We made good time and arrived to bask in the beauty of this place by lunchtime. The road in was a corrugated dirt road that had seen the effects of the rain over the last week and to Marty's reluctance, we persisted and found ourselves quite chuffed with the campsite. It was a dirt campground that hugged the beach and overloo...

Marty had packed up the quickest he had done in a long time. We were leaving the Woods, hoping that time apart would mend what had happened. Martin, Mark and Amanda were still not talking, even after he had apologised yesterday, and it left me feeling like the piggy in the middle. I really hate when this kind of stuff happens as it ends up impacting on your trip and your memories. Nanga Bay will always remain in my mind as the awful place where our friendship...

After our last dolphin feeding in the rain at Monkey Mia we set off for a small restock in Denham on our way to Nanga Bay to sit for a while to explore the area a bit more while the rain passes thru. Steep Point road was still closed, so with that being our next place to travel to, Nanga Bay Caravan Park seemed reasonably priced to hang about for a little while. When we arrived in Denham, we pulled up to witness the most amazing rainbow on the horizon above the...

We set off nice and early, all packed up and hitched up by 0830hrs. Needed to get an early start as had a big drive ahead of us. First big drive in a long while, around 400km to Monkey Mia. Girls were very excited to be heading there to see the dolphins in the wild. Made good time, only having to stop a few times for toilet stops and lunch. Arrived at Monkey Mia by 2pm, had to pay a $32 entry fee for a holiday pass for the two days we were going to be at the ...
