The Kimberley: Days 11 & 12

On account of the fact I slept for the majority of the two days back to Broome I have nothing witty or coherent to write here. Sitting on a bus isn't the most mentally stimulating activity so have some photos instead. I'm gonna sit and marvel at them for a while. Aren't they pretty? I...

Travel Evolution - Darwin NT

Got to Darwin late on Wednesday night (25th July) and am staying at the backpackers (Melaleuca on Mitchell). Not bad for a backpackers - not the best I have stayed at but the chicks I am sharing with are really cool. Checked out the Darwin show with some pig racing, spear throwing and also...

East coast Aussie, a journey of awesome places, and some BIG parties...

Okayyy, big apologies I've been ridiculously lazy haven't I...don't know where the time went! I'm well into my South America trip now so I've decided not to write a big blog on my East Coast Oz experience. Not to say I didn't enjoy it - the whole thing was amazing. I guess in summary it was...

Beach mecca

We left Derby and stayed at a roadside camp on Saturday night before heading for Broome. We had been warned by many that we would have difficulties getting a spot there and they were right. The parks, hotels, motels etc are all packed. We got a space at the overflow which is the Police...

Things That Can Kill You #6

This little bleeder was bigger than anything with eight legs and fangs has any right being and was on the ceiling in a rest stop toilet on the Great Northern Highway. As if drop toilets aren't scary enough as it is. There hasn't been a Death By Redback in Australia since about 1956 when...

The Kimberley: Day 10

A helicopter ride over Purnululu will cost you $185 for 18 minutes so that morning I duly handed over the Magic Plastic and jumped on the scales for the obligatory weigh in. I'm 5kg heavier than I was when I had my medical in February. FIVE! Although I think at least four of that is my extra...

The Kimberley: Day 9

This morning we picked up our last newbies, four people from Melbourne, then headed towards Purnululu National Park, better known as the Bungle Bungles. It was weird being back on sealed roads but when we heard a tour bus had literally split in half along the Gibb the other day I could have...

The Kimberley: Day 8

Today was time for a lie in. Oh sweet joy of joys! Even though a lie in when you live outdoors means getting up with the sunrise as opposed to before it even gets light. Whatever, we could get up when we felt like it and fill our mornings however we chose. We didn't have anything to do until...

The Kimberley: Day 7

Connections hadn't even folded their table cloth by the time we drove out of the camp site and to Zebedee. Scott lived in Kununurra and was a regular to El Questro and the hot springs, we followed him to the warmest pool where we stayed until we got wrinkly or, in some cases, wrinklier. I love...
