Well, it seems as though the weather forecast was correct. After a wet and windy night at Busselton we woke to blue skies, but the wind was still making its presence known. We headed off for a day trip toward Augusta, planning to drive the coast road there, have some lunch at Augusta and then drive the inland road through Margaret River back to Busselton. After grabbing something from the bakery at Dunsborough, we turned off toward Cape Naturaliste to have a look...

Our first night at Hamelin Station provided us with a quiet night of sleep, although we were kept company by the bleating of sheep early in the morning. The sheep did have some competition with a couple of hundred Galahs and numerous other birds, so at least we were up early. There are worse ways to wake up than to the calls of native birds.

It is a small outcrop of rocky land surrounded by turquoise water, 450 km south of Broome and 150 km north of Port Hedland in Western Australia. We left Broome once ...

The Gibb River Road has been conquered!! We saw some beautiful country, encountered some wildlife and emerged at the other end quite dusty but relatively un-scathed. Our journey began at Kununurra, where we departed early and drove along the highway toward Wyndham before taking the turn-off for the famed Gibb River Road. A short stop for the obligitory photo of vehicle and the road sign, adjust the tyre pressures for the rocky road and we were ready to go. When ...
