Visiting Albany, Denmark and Bremer Bay
I’m sure you have all been worried sick about Steve’s drone controller situation and don’t worry, so was he, but we have good news! Driving, two days into our time in Albany, we got a phone call from a truck driver who had found the controller on the side of the road. Even better, it…

Back on the road! (And Esperance)
After what has seemed like a long time coming, it was time to start our second lap for real! This time with Alfie and the tinnie in tow. We had spent almost 2 months in Adelaide and it was a weird feeling to say goodbye again. We were packed and ready to hit the road,…

A guide to the Gibb River Road, WA Part 2
Leaving Manning Gorge, we had a fateful decision to make. Do we take the track up to Mitchell Falls which would add three days onto our trip or continue down the main road to Ellenbrae Station… We had talked to a few travellers heading the opposite way and all of them had stories of blown…

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…

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…

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…

Photo of the week #9
Back again with another drone photo! This shot was taken at Shothole Canyon, just outside Exmouth in the Cape Range National Park. It is one of my favourites and I think shows the rugged beauty of that gorge area and how close you can get to it! Don’t worry mum, I didn’t get too close.…
