The drive to Kalbarri was through some nice terrain, it was a bit greener, the trees were taller and not just stunted scrub. The road was dead straight and after filling up with petrol at a roadhouse we estimated that we didn't turn the steering wheel even once for 80 kilometres. Kalbarri is a quaint little seaside town around 600kms north of Perth, it has gorges, a national park and a stunning coastline. Two of the three gorges were inaccessible due to roadwork...

Neither of us fancied a 5 hour journey to Monkey Mia, instead we chose to stop for the day in Carnarvon, around two hours away and do a shorter run the following day. We arrived in town, the weather had turned overcast and cold again, so much so that we tried to buy some coats but alas no joy. Everyone keeps telling us that this cold snap is really unusual, we're privileged we witnessed it. We took a drive to mile long jetty, a wooden pier, completed in 1897. A ...

A short stint on the road got us to Coral Bay a tiny town at the southern tip of Ningaloo reef. It's famous for exceptional snorkelling and fishing and its sweeping soft sandy beaches. We arrived in the rain and as we pulled into our pitch, their was a thump and a quick jolt to a halt, uh-oh. We jumped out of the van to find ourselves half a tyre deep in soft sand. As we stood either scratching our head or with hands on hips an old Aussie bloke came over "Welcome...

The sun was shining for the 5 hour journey to Exmouth, but we struggled with this leg, the emptiness of the outback threatened to swallow us up and it felt like really hard going on mile after mile of straight, empty road, even the road kill was uninspiring and no longer caused us to slow down to retch. But what did make the final 100 kms exciting was the very real prospect of running out of fuel. We'd filled up where we could, but there simply aren't enough pe...

We put in a mammoth 8 hour drive from Broome, our first choice of a rest stop was dingy and neither of us had a great feeling about the place. We decided to plough on to West Peawah river. The countryside was uninspiring and despite the previous three days rain, looked barren and dry. Seldomly, a hill or rock would appear in the distance and we made a fuss about how beautiful it was, well we couldn't play the number plate game as we never saw any other vehicles. ...
