A Bali Trip

Given it had recently been both of our birthdays, we thought we deserved a holiday within the holiday! We had looked at a bunch of experiences and places to stay within Northern Australia, but prices continued to be obscenely expensive. So, we decided to do the classic Aussie thing and book flights to Bali and…

Photo of the week #11

Another waterfall photo as our pic of the week! This was taken at Maguk waterfall in Kakadu National Park after we had taken a quick dip in the water. We were a little nervous at the thought of freshwater crocodiles, but still took the plunge! I really like this photo as Lauren looks like she’s…

Broome, WA

Back on the road after some amazing beach camping, we had a long drive ahead of us to Broome. The weather was getting hotter and hotter the further north we headed and after a sweaty day of driving, we decided accommodation with a shower was in order. We decided on an iconic Australian roadhouse in…

Photo of the week #10

Apologies for missing more than a few weeks, can’t promise it won’t happen again though! But, hopefully you enjoy this capture from our time spent in the Northern Territory. I like this photo as it captures the joy we feel every time we finish a bush walk and it ends in a waterfall or swimming…

Exmouth, WA

Given our dwindling supplies, we though it might be a good idea to check into the renowned holiday town of Exmouth to resupply. Exmouth is an interesting town, we thought that it would be much larger and more built up than it is, but it’s kind of good that it hasn’t and still retains its…

Ningaloo Station, WA

Driving through Coral Bay on our way up to the campsites on Ningaloo Station, we were reminded why we didn’t spend $65 a night for a shoebox unpowered site at the caravan park. Coral Bay was absolutely chockas and even more of a crime was the $8.80 packet of Tim Tams at the IGA… unaustralian…

14 Mile Beach, WA

We had waited a long time, but we were finally arriving at the Ningaloo reef! We had spent hours watching YouTube videos of people having amazing experiences in this area and it really contributed to us going on this trip in the first place! First up, we were staying at 14 Mile beach, although I…

Photo of the week #8

Back again for my favourite photo this week! This shot was in Karijini National Park and more specially Dales Gorge. This day of exploring gorges was probably one of our favourite days of the trip so far and I think this picture captures that. We couldn’t wipe the smiles off our faces when looking around…

Quobba Station, WA

Leaving Shark Bay, we were again reminded of how bloody big WA is when we put Carnarvon, our next spot into maps and the hours of driving ahead of us became real! We managed to survive the drive and Lauren had an interesting experience navigating the shopping centre in the chaos that is Carnarvon! Surviving…

Shark Bay, WA

With our time in Geraldton at an end, we made our way up the coast, stopping at the fine establishment that is the Billabong Roadhouse Car Park. Aside from selling us a vanilla slice that was still frozen, it was a perfect spot for an overnight spot on our way up to Shark Bay. We…
