Since we started this trip, we've been saying how incredibly lucky we are to be experiencing the things that we are. During the last week, since we left Perth and began our journey up the west coast, we have been pinching ourselves almost constantly. It has been the most incredible week, one that will stand out when we look back on this trip even amongst all of the other amazing weeks that we've had.We boarded the Greyhound bus an hour later than scheduled due to...

Our time in Perth has come to an end and we've had a great time in this very chilled city!On Thursday we headed over to Kings Park and the Botanic Gardens. This is the biggest inner-city park in the world - bigger than Central Park - and is built on a hill which has stunning views of the Perth city and Swan River. The Botanic Gardens were beautiful and we spent the whole afternoon there. Highlights include a board walk through the trees, a fountain which shoots p...

After our last night at Cosy Corner beach, we decided to head around the bay slightly to Shelleys Beach (well we had to given the name!) and just like its name-sake, it was beautiful! (It's Alex here by the way!) We stayed there all morning enjoying some rare sunshine, until the cloud and rain inevitably found us and we knew it was t...

I'm pleased to report that we survived the Nullarbor! Whilst driving the 1200kms from Ceduna to Norseman, a few things became apparent pretty quickly. Firstly, there is a lot more traffic on this route than you are led to believe. And all sorts of traffic... road trains (effectively double or even triple lorries!), caravans, loads of motorbikes, bicycles and even some pedestrians!! Also, despite what happened to us within 5 minutes of leaving Ceduna, everyone is ...
