Sun, sun, and more sun…Autumn weather is magnificent when it’s a glorious 30º everyday here in Kununurra…we feel for you guys down south suffering from the cold blustery conditions, but someone in the country has to have a bit of cold weather! Ok, enough of that…where do we start as there’s so much to share…. With the amazing Ord […]
We’re finally back in Kununurra after just over 4 weeks of not having internet access whilst we travelled the Gibb River Road. Over the next couple of weeks, we’ll dedicate multiple posts to the Gibb River Road section as we know many want to know all the juicy details of this part of our trip! Here’s the first […]
Here comes another instalment of our Gibb River Road adventures, as we now finally hit the Gibb River Road, visit a few stations and many of the stunning gorges.. Days 7-14 Upon arriving at the Gibb River Road, it was hard for Grant to contain his excitement. Woo hoo!! Lots of photos were in order and […]
Days 15 – 21 Day 15 – Packing up at Mount Elizabeth this morning we, realise our pack ups are starting to get quicker (thank goodness…it’s only taken two weeks of practice)! We started to joke saying we’ll get this packing down pat just as we pick up the van again. On the road, we headed […]
Day 22 – First stop at El Questro was Saddleback Ridge Lookout. The track leading up to the lookout was a good 4WD track, pretty steep and narrow, and gave the Paj a bit of a workout. Upon arriving at the top, the scenery was stunning. We had 360 degrees view of the place – there […]
After arriving back in Kununurra, it took us a while to get back into the swing of things with heaps to clean. That red dirt gets into absolutely everything. Having also been used to our own company over the past month or so was a total contrast to being back amongst so many other travellers […]
A fairly early start this morning and we drove down to the Barkly Roadhouse to fill up. Not long after, we’d arrived at the Queensland border where we took a few pics and continued to Camooweal. However, as it was a weekend, the entire town was pretty well closed so we hightailed it to Mount […]
After spending a few days of non-event fishing at Karumba 😥 , we called into Normanton on our way back to see “Krys”. The original Krys is very famous…a saltwater crocodile killed in the Norman River in 1957 which was a massive 8.63 metres!! Taking photos with the replica, it was hard to comprehend a croc can be […]
It’s time to start our next offroad adventure, and since our last effort in the Kimberley, we’ve bit the bullet and hired a camper trailer for 3 weeks rather than having to tent it. Yes I know, I can hear already some of you saying that we’re soft, but the sleeping so close to the floor […]
Days 11-18 Day 11 – Today we packed up fairly early and Grant was keen to continue our trip on the OTL road which meant a couple of crossings before getting back on the bypass road. We left Eliot Falls and only needed to travel a short distance before arriving at Sam Creek. It was a […]
