Superlative Dinner Venue – Wednesday 1 June
Our trip from Kununurra to Katherine was definitely in a hurry. We had to make the trip and arrive in time to join our Dinner Cruise up the Katherine Gorge. Taking two cruises in two days was amazing. Each of these cruises was completely different as you will see from the photographs that Peter and […]

One Short Day – One Big Dream Fulfilled – Tuesday 31 May
I could write endless acclamations about our journeys from this day but the photos are the explanation. In order, a 6am pickup from our motel, we took a seaplane out over the Ord River Irrigation Area. We crossed Lake Argyle, and out over the Osmond Ranges. We then flew over the Purnululu Range which is […]

From the beach to the inland – Sunday 29 May – Monday 30 May
After a relaxed start at The Billi Resort, we drove down to Cable Beach and had brekkie at a beautiful seaside café called Zanders. After we ate, we wandered down onto the beach. It was a glorious morning. The surfers were pretending to surf but there was very little in the way of breakers. I […]

A Breath of Fresh Air – Saturday 28 May
We woke early so set out just on daybreak to travel to Broome. Again, the landscape stretched out in front of us and all around us, flat and desolate except for scrubby bushes and grasses, right to the horizon. Broome is a place I have always wanted to visit, and it did not disappoint. We […]

A long day – Thursday 26 May and a Big Beach – Friday 27 May
Exmouth to Karratha – it came, it went. One of our longer days on the road. Different landscapes provided us with something to watch on this long drive. A rolling landscape of ridge upon ridge of hills, and mountains continually changing with some being gently rounded, others with peaks and valleys and then some that […]

Some wins and losses – Wednesday 25 May
We packed up our car for another early start. We left Coral Bay just after sunrise. The journey was one of our shortest, travelling just up the coast to Exmouth. The landscape was monotonous. The only relief was the termite mounds. I found them fascinating. Dotted across the countryside were a variety of shapes and […]

The Circle of Life – Monday 23, Tuesday 24 May
We left Wooramel early the next morning and went into Carnarvon for breakfast. While we were sitting having breakfast, we looked through some brochures we had picked up at the Information Centre and discovered there was a Space Museum on the edge of town on what had been a Space Tracking Base for the Mercury […]

Focus on natural and manmade and the combo of both – Kalbarri to Wooramel – Sunday 22 May
Leaving Kalbarri township behind, we headed inland to the Murchison Gorge. The first stop was at the Kalbarri Skywalk, an amazing natural and manmade feat. Nature has taken 135 million years to create the gorge and then man designed, engineered, and built the skywalk for our viewing pleasure. The photos speak for themselves – pity […]

Nature at its best – Saturday 21 May
After having a brief tour around Dongara, a typical fishing village with a protected harbour, we set out for our next destination – Kalbarri. The first small place into which we took a detour was an historic village called Greenough, but it wasn’t open. However, we did get some shots of an interesting local feature […]

In Erskine and Day 1 Northwards – 18-20 May
Two days back in Erskine and Perth were spent repacking, most of one day in Fiona Stanley Hospital having my monthly infusion, while Peter did some business visiting and negotiating, doing some last-minute shopping, and enjoying some relaxing moments before packing the car, and, together with Tim and Moira, setting out on the second half […]
