I'll start this post with a trivia fact - Tom Price is Western Australia's highest town at 747m. Sitting just out of town and above it is Mt Nameless / Jarndunmunha at 1128m. After our morning mine tour at lunch back at the caravan we decided we would head out to Mt Nameless / Jarndunmunha …
After lunch we drove into Kalamina Gorge over gravel roads. It took us about 45 minutes. We parked and followed the signs to the path that would descend down into the gorge. Signage warned us not to go too close to the edge of the rim.The view from above was beautifulbut after descending the rocky …
Vehicle movement noise disturbed us about 6:45 the next morning so we ate a quick bowl of cereal and hitched up the caravan and drove into Dales Campground. As we turned in we could see a queue of about six or seven other rigs so we joined on the end. Just after 8:00 the first …
Watching the sun set at Cable Beach is another Broome institution. So when in Broome .... join in. From Palm Grove Caravan Park it's only a short walk. This was a good and bad move. Good because we didn't have to find a carpark and bad because pedestrians have to be very careful dodging a …
Given our remote location and an even more remote destination it was an easy decision to book a 4WD trip into the Bungle Bungles rather than drive the 5o kms into the Purnululu National Park. We felt it wasn't worth risking our Hilux on a gravel road than could be mostly good but if something …
The Bungle Bungles must be as far away from where we live in Dromana as just about anywhere in Australia. So you could say it was the ultimate place for us to visit on our big caravan trip. After leaving Lake Argyle and stopping to top up supplies in Kunnanurra we arrived mid afternoon at …
The next part of our journey involved quite a bit of driving as we headed from the little town of Jabiru in Kakadu National Park back through Katherine and along the Victoria Highway to Timber Creek and on to the Western Australian border before turning off the main road to head into Lake Argyle. Apart …
We had decided to stay just out of Katherine at Shady Lane Caravan Park so we were closer to the Katherine Gorge. After rising reasonably early for breakfast we headed out to the gorge which is a large part of the Nitmiluk National Park. After arriving in Katherine the day before we had booked ourselves …
After Alice Springs our next stopping point was going to be the Devil's Marbles (Karlu Karlu) near Wauchope. We set off after breakfast and packing up the caravan. We stopped at Aileron to see the Big Man, as well as the Big Woman and Child and some camels in a nearby paddock. The drive continued, …
Day 15 - Alice Springs A coldish start to the day. After breakfast drove out of town to the John Flynn memorial rock. It is a replica of one of the Devils Marbles. Originally one of the real Devils Marbles had been used but it was returned; diplomatically sensitive decision as the marbles are sacred …
