From Hopetoun we head to the Duke of Orleans Bay, a coastal stretch of wilderness and one of WA’s most beautiful beaches. There we strike up a few connections, both new and old. … More Connecting at The Duke of Orleans
Welcome to December and to summer in Australia. Time has sped by so fast, much like the clouds overhead, the wind that constantly buffets us in Kalbarri and the stars in the sky that dazzle and then disappear. Here in Western Australia, where we’ve been for over three months, it feels like summer every day. … More Navigating the West Coast
