Heading from Coral Bay south to Carnarvon was the another fairly lengthy drive, but we arrived at lunch and managed to catch the visitors centre just before it closed. It turns out that Carnarvon also has a season and, unsurprisingly, we had missed it, so you’ll find that it was a bit of a mixed … Continue reading Too much shearing and an excellent space museum, Carnarvon to Shark Bay

Continuing the love affair with Ningaloo Reef in Coral Bay: manta rays, sharks and turtles
Foreword: There aren’t as many pictures as usual in this post as we are still mastering our GoPro. The underwater pictures that we do provide are murky for the most part, apologies, but you will at least be able to get the drift. Rest assured that it was much better in real life! You may … Continue reading Continuing the love affair with Ningaloo Reef in Coral Bay: manta rays, sharks and turtles
Two fantastic days enjoying Ningaloo Reef from Exmouth
Due to lack of Wi-Fi we hadn’t been able to download the next instalment of His Dark Materials and the drive to Exmouth was made to feel significantly longer as we reverted to James’s retro tunes for our entertainment. We arrived in Exmouth around midday and made a beeline for the visitor centre, where they … Continue reading Two fantastic days enjoying Ningaloo Reef from Exmouth
Karijini National Park
As we had only planned to spend one day in Karijini, we got up early to make the most of our time. We were camped at the Dales Gorge campground, at the eastern end of the park, and our first stop was 5 minutes away in Dales Gorge itself. To be perfectly honest the beginning … Continue reading Karijini National Park
Bonus Feature: A guided tour of Heidi or, as I like to call it, a Geidi
As you can probably tell from the title, James has had no input in this, he thinks that I am a crazy person. For our four avid readers, I thought that it would be useful to provide some insight in to the realities of life in Heidi. This way you will have a context when … Continue reading Bonus Feature: A guided tour of Heidi or, as I like to call it, a Geidi
Cavorting on Cable Beach, a nesting turtle and trains as far as the eye can see
On that first evening on Cable Beach, Caro got a little bit overexcited jumping around in the waves and ended up soaked from the waist down and went for a shower with all of her clothes on.Our first port of call the next day was, of course, the Visitor Centre, with the specific aim of … Continue reading Cavorting on Cable Beach, a nesting turtle and trains as far as the eye can see

Why, oh why, would you go to Wyndham? Head straight for the fabulous Bungle Bungles
After about 2 weeks in Heidi we had made such good progress that we knew we would have plenty of time to spare on our journey to Perth and would therefore be able to do a couple of extra bits on the way across. It is for this reason that we spent a couple of … Continue reading Why, oh why, would you go to Wyndham? Head straight for the fabulous Bungle Bungles
Crossing the border in to WA and what it takes to be a true Pommie – Timber Creek, Gregory National Park, Lake Argyll and Kununurra.
We were on the road surprisingly early from Adelaide River, given that we’d enjoyed the inn’s hospitality a bit more than we had intended to. Back on the Savannah Way we stopped in Katherine, ostensibly for some supplies but really because we wanted to pop in to our favourite Visitor Centre one last time. It … Continue reading Crossing the border in to WA and what it takes to be a true Pommie – Timber Creek, Gregory National Park, Lake Argyll and Kununurra.
