As regular Kimberley visitors, we always look forward to a different experience. And for this trip, we wanted to see it from the skies for a birds’ eye view. Having hiked through the Bungles, cruised on Lake Argyle, and toured the Argyle Diamond Mine in the past, we thought it was about time to see […]
Head to the Kimberley and there’s a high possibility you’ll travel the Victoria Highway to the WA/NT border at some stage. But did you know the biggest man-made lake in Oz by volume is just a turn off the highway? We’ll be the first to say it’s well worth the turn! The drive into […]
Upon arrival in Esperance, we were greeted with a really pretty coastline. A quaint seaside town, Esperance beaches were very inviting with white sand and turqoise water – it was unfortunate the wind was blowing a gale and the temperature in the low 20’s. Packed with a thermos and some munchies, we followed a great scenic drive […]
Leaving Albany to head further west, we arrived at the magnificent “giant trees” area of the great south of WA, with our first stop being Walpole. What a great place! Although a small town of only around 500 people, Walpole has great coastal frontage and some beautiful scenic drives, with most of the area surrounded by National Park which […]
Leaving Augusta, we headed towards Busselton, and did we strike a winner with the park! The Mandalay Resort was the best we’d stayed at so far during this trip, and pretty well accommodated for all types of travellers. Busselton’s coastline was extraordinary – the water was a gorgeous turquoise blue, and with a wooden jetty spanning more than 1.8kms, […]
Time to leave Kalbarri and continuing our trek north to experience many of the coastal attractions on offer. Stopping for an overnighter at Carnarvon, we continued to Denham where we based ourselves for a few days. Our main desire for this leg of the trip was to visit Monkey Mia, the home of the famous dolphins which come into […]
We’re on our way to spend time at Karajini National Park. Leaving the coast for a while was a nice change as the temperature managed to drop 6-7 degrees and moving inland meant no more humidity which was a real winner! The scenery driving in was a total change from the coast – the Hamersley Ranges […]
Sensational Broome….aaahhh….where do we start! Our arrival time here wasn’t perfect due to an intense low pressure system hovering around the Kimberley coast, and there was a possibility of a cyclone. The wind was strong, humidity was definitely up there!, and afternoon thunderstorms were the norm for the first few days. So we were grateful to […]
After having some fun up at Cape Leveque we’ve made our way back to Broome. Lucky for us, we timed our return right, as the Broome movie premiere of an Australian film made around the Kimberley called “Mad Bastards” at the outdoor movie theatre, Sun Pictures was scheduled during our stay. (It actually reminded us […]
It’s hard to believe that we’ve already been on the road again for over 3 months! However, given that we’re in a great area in Australia, the Kimberley, I’d be quite happy for the trip to go really slow for a while. Kununurra itself has finally had some growth since visiting here 12 years ago, having previously been […]
