Our Australia trip

We again have a feeling of dustiness. We want something fresh and clean, a shower, a spring clean of the bus. After much reading, Internet, folders, etc. we decided to go to the Coral Cove at Samson Point. Everyone raved about this camping. So we drive the 40 odd kilometer and come to the new […]

Dotti and ‘Red’ And Nossi started barking and giving “Red” the sniff over as if he was real. So gullible.

We leave crossing the bridge and see that the river is hardly a river if we look at the water it carries. In Western Australia they seem to recognise that as they only put “De Grey R” on signs. This seems a standard here. Of course it could also be a state wide saving program […]

The Western Australians have an odd way of planning. Somehow they seem to not have realized that there is an ocean out west with scenic views, refreshing winds, cool waves. So they build the only road about 15 to 150 km inland from the coast. Ok, I get it that a main road not necessarily […]

Escaping the heat and flies we leave early from this giant tree. The bus can smell the ocean and we continue west. We decide not to go to Derby but head straight for Broome and turn left at the if Boab tree. When we get closer to Broome the air starts getting dense and before […]

The visual stimulation at this beach is too much for words. Enjoy! Then I try to get Nossi for a last swim: And Dotti enjoys the spectacle.

The scenery is becoming less hilly and more plain. That’s a pity as many kilometers with shrubs and termite mounds gets boring pretty fast. Then we see a viewpoint and stop for a dog pee and scenery. Our next stop is at Fitzroy Crossing for some fuel and then Marjo sees a sign for Geiki […]

We woke at 5.30 am which in NT time is only 7 am. The sun clearly hasn’t changed it’s clock because at 5.30 am you can already feel the heat increasing. So we have early breakfast and before 8 am we’re on the road. We stop to check for some suspect sound but find everything […]

With a disturbed sleep at night, I can’t wake up very well in the morning and Marjo is so sweet to make breakfast. We lazy a little and then pack up to do shopping, take in fuel and look around in Kununurra. We stop at a zebra stone gallery and Marjo decides she doesn’t like […]

Also this one got wiped by our great blog app……so take 2: After packing up and making sure the alternator is where it’s supposed to be we leave without a hitch and take the winding road between mountains and passing more Boab trees. Then at 10.45 am we reach the border between Northern Territory (NT) […]
