A guide to the Gibb River Road, WA
It was finally time to put the troopy through its first extended off-road adventure, the renowned Gibb River Road. Our first tip for travelling the Gibb, is that if you are entering from the West, we advise stocking up in Broome rather than Derby. We took the second option and the Woolworths was very poorly…

The Pilbara, WA
Heading back to the coast, we were getting closer and closer to what Lauren’s Dad refers to as, ‘Gods Country’ and with that support, we entered the Pilbara region of WA. On the way up, we dropped into the fishing town of Onslow and we were pleasantly surprised. In WA especially, you can always tell…

Karijini, WA
It was time to head inland after almost a month on the coast and we were excited, as we had heard good things about Karijini National Park! Leaving Exmouth, we missed out on staying at the renowned Buralla Station, as it was fully booked. This turned out to be a blessing in disguise, as there…

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…

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…

Geraldton, WA
Although our time on the farm in the beautiful Chapman Valley has ended, I thought I would do a post to recap on our more than eventful time! So, we originally came to the farm to farm sit while the farmer, Dan was away seeding his wheat crop. He offered us free accommodation in a…

Kalbarri National Park, Wa
It was time for life to settle down for a little bit and pause the nomadic traveler lifestyle. Lauren had just started a nursing role at Geraldton Regional Hospital and we had taken up the offer to farm sit a property in the nearby Chapman Valley, while the farmer was out seeding wheat. After settling…
