After setting off east it wasn't too long (less than 20 kms) before we made our first sightseeing stop for the day. Bunda Cliffs carpark offers an awesome view to the east along the Great Australian Bight.I don't feel photos do it justice. Heavy shadows make it hard to know what the best time of …

You may think after the previous few days driving only 190 kms or so wasn't helping us cross the Nullabor very quickly but as you will read at the end of this post there was a good reason for not going so far.We hit the road just before 9:00 heading further east from Madura. Not …

Sadly Perth's winter weather had taken a turn for the worse but a few days after our excursion to Fremantle we took the train into Perth and took a bus up to Kings Park. We had been here in spring one year previously so we thought it would be interesting to visit in late winter. …
Less than half an hour from Jurien Bay is one of those rare gems we were fortunate to visit whilst in Western Australia. Lesueur National Park may not be big but for plant/flower enthusiasts it is fabulous. After travelling part of the way there on a sealed road the last part is gravel. However on …

The fascinating rock formations known as the Pinnacles can be found half an hour's drive south of Jurien Bay. There is an entry fee of $15 currently to enter this national park. Once we had parked we headed into the Pinnacles Discovery Centre to learn more about these rock formations sculpted by wind and rain. …
As our next planned stopping point was Jurien Bay we made our way cross country from Western Flora Caravan Park at Arrowsmith towards the coast. Initially we were on Highway 1 before turning onto the Coolimba-Eneabba Rd that took us across towards the coast where we joined onto Indian Ocean Drive (State Route 60). Along …
After a quick overnight stop in Geraldton we continued driving south. The Western Flora Caravan Park just off the Brand Highway in Arrowsmith was our next destination. Our Tom Tom sat-nav indicated we had arrived but we were in the middle of nowhere so we kept driving and eventually saw a signboard for it. We …

Just as well we like to sleep with the rain on the caravan roof because we certainly had plenty during our second night in Kalbarri. After breakfast we headed over the road to the Kalbarri foreshore area. Every day the local pelicans are given a small amount of fish to start their day. Needless to …
From Hamelin Pool we continued our drive south. After a couple of hours we turned towards the coast from the main highway but it was almost another hour before we arrived at the Murchison Caravan Park, our stopping point for the next few nights. After setting up the caravan we grabbed a few supplies from …
Now that we had communed with dolphins at Monkey Mia there remained some other important/interesting locations to visit as we made our way back out of the Shark Bay World Heritage Area. The first was about fifteen minutes south from Denham. Named Eagle Bluff Lookout, it offered us views over a part of Shark Bay. …
