The sight of the wildflowers and mountains as we drive in gives us a taste of what’s to come. “Your life is a … More Colours of the Earth
Time is flying by so fast lately. The days, weeks and months feel like they’re blurring into one. It’s hard to believe we’re half way through October and it’s been over three months since we left Melbourne for our big road trip. Every day this journey of ours feels more and more like an odyssey. … More What’s so Special about Shark Bay?
There’s something about the West coast of Australia that draws you in like a magnet. A warmness that invites you to stay longer. It’s the same in Carnarvon. We’re practically on the most western side of Australia, thousands of kilometres from Victoria, yet I feel so at home here. With a population of just over … More Four Days in Carnarvon
Karijini National Park is one of the most spectacular parks we’ve visited in West Australia and we’ve been to a few. It’s also one of the most under rated.

Our only outing was to the hospital to have ‘the test’ Wyndham is one of … More Five ways to be wowed at Wyndham

Darwin has a vibe that draws you in … warm, welcoming, laid back and all amid a melting pot of culture and flavours. She’s a city that’s more like a country town, the capital of the Northern Territory but closer to Borneo or Port Moresby than any capital city in Australia.
