There are only a handful of places that I have loved so much I felt sad when we drove away and Osprey Bay campsite in the Cape Range National Park just out of Exmouth is one of them. We lucked out with great weather, and despite a couple of windy moments, had picture perfect views …

A fascinating look at historic Geraldton
So here we are, in Geraldton where we've spent the past few days catching up with Corey's Aunt and cousin, getting our car serviced, catching up on well overdue blog posts (limited phone range has made it sooooo hard!) and immersing ourselves in the history of a prolific shipwreck coastline. I had in my mind …
Catching up in Perth
We’ve said a couple of times how meeting people has been one of the best aspects of our trip so far. We’ve been lucky to meet some fabulous people so far, some of which we know we will keep in touch with long after our trip has finished. Bill and Belinda and their family are …
Tranquility in the Southern Forests
There is just something special about canopies that reach for the sky and stand majestic in solidarity, don't you think? I’ve been a big fan of forests for a long time as my million pics from Tassie would attest to. What can I say, there’s just something about trees that I adore. This trip has …
Respect for Albany
It was a good idea in theory, leaving Gemma’s farm early and pushing on to Albany via Wave Rock to make it in time for Dawn Service on Anzac Day morning. But as it turned out it was a very loooooong day. We said our farewells and headed off relatively early for us – if …
Down at the farm
Throughout one’s life, you meet people who become fabulous friends and even though they might move away from the vicinity of your day to day life, the friendship remains strong. This is definitely the case with my wonderful friend, Gemma. We met in Mildura, were both involved in numerous committees together for a few years …
Life’s grand at the Cape (le Grand)
Ok, so I’ll put this out there up front. We’ve got a new contender in our top 3 favourite places! Prior to arriving at Cape le Grand, our top three consisted of: Bay of Fires (Tas) Minnie Water (NSW) Flinders Ranges (SA) I haven’t quite figured out whether Minnie Water or Flinders Ranges has dropped …
Gold sparkles in Kalgoorlie
Kalgoorlie was the stop that we were prepared to take or leave when we were in the planning phase of our trip. If we made it there, all well and good but if it didn’t happen, then that was ok too. On our trip across the Nullarbor we realised that we hadn't made plans for Easter …
Slowing down at Lincoln
And so I'm finally up to date! Three months of blog posts that were abandoned, because let's be honest... I couldn't be bothered. After our extended stay in Mildura, I lost the momentum and just didn't get around to updating our travels. I'd write notes on my phone and of course took heaps of pics …
Westward bound
Finally, we're heading west! After a extended stay back home in Mildura and killing time in Melbourne whilst our van was in getting some things repaired, it is finally time to really start our trip and head west, to places that we've not been before! We left rainy Melbourne/Ocean Grove and made our way through …
