Our biggest drive yet, from Western Australia to South Australia on the Eyre Highway, over 2700kms without a town or village along the way.We set off early from Esperance and had to drive for 2 hours North to Norseman a very small town, which had a deserted and isolated feel to it, maybe because it was the gateway to the long open road ahead.We did however stop in the ghost town to fill the van with petrol and have a sausage sandwich for breakfast as we had set o...

It was a long 4 hour journey from Augusta to Albany in an area called the Great Southern, on the South coast. Along the way we passed Walpole and the Valley of the Giants, home to tingle trees growing up to 60 metres tall. The main road passed through a lot of the forest as we made our way to the tree top walk. A 600 metre suspended walkway in the tree canopy, we were about 40 metres up and the steel walkway was even swaying in the wind, the notices scared me a b...

Our next major stop was Margaret River the famous wine, chocolate and cheese making region.Although before we got there we spent a couple of nights in a town called Busselton.Busselton is famous for it's jetty 2km long, a train normally runs the length but was not running at the moment as some repair were being made.So we took a leisurely stroll, stopping along the way to look back at the long sweeping beaches and the people fishing off different platforms all al...

We drove back down to Perth, which took almost all day from Kalbarri with only a few petrol stops and a lunch break. We decided that we would like to base ourselves in Fremantle so that we could see all of things in the area that we did not get around to do when we were living here! We picked the one closest to Fremantle centre, so that we could walk to most places, it was the most expensive site that we had, had at $35 but we assumed it was because we were pra...

Our next stop on the way back down the Western Coast to Perth was Kalbarri a small estuary town right on the mouth of the Murchison River and just as it flows into the Indian Ocean. Kalbarri is about 70kms from the main Brand Highway and is between Geraldton and Denham. On the detour off of the main highway we stopped at the National Park to take in the views of the river gorges at Ross Graham and Hawks Head. A platform had been constructed to just jut out of ...
