Visible from Space?

One of the lines they like to tell you when visiting the Great Barrier Reef is that it is the only living organism that can be seen from space. Actually, you hear this often about a lot of things. Turns out it isn’t quite true—lots of things can be seen from space...

Through the Kimberleys & to Broome.

After leaving Kununurra, we headed along the Gibb River Road into the Purnululu National Park where we had the opportunity to spend two nights camping under the stars and checking out the amazing Bungle Bungle ranges. Many of us took the option of taking a helicopter flight as well as checking...

Here's An Idea

I'm going to move to one of the hottest cities in Australia, dress entirely in black and go job hunting. Yeah. Because they're really going to want to employ me after I drip sweat on the application form.

Litchfield and Kakadoodle-do

Returning to Australia was both amazing and shocking. We walked out of the airport to a perfect tropical temperature, no sweltering heat but a great breeze and pleasing aroma. Plus, not one person was in our face trying to sell us a ride or lodging or anything else for that matter. The ease...
