Went for a quick drive through a mine sight in the morning than chilled. Had dinner at the miners Lodge. Buffet. Ate too much. Went and watched a bit of softball at the local field. Seb put the smiles on for the photos but not sure he really enjoyed the […]
20230720 Karijini Weano Gorge Hancock Gorge
Adventurous day. Two gorges and Jaffro lookout. Kids seem to enjoy the day as well. Photos and video penalty don’t do it justice. Very cold water, think someone (another family we have traveled a little with) may have got hyperthermia. And a few from Kylie. She doesn’t mind a selfie […]
20230719 Hamersley Gorge
Long drive with lots of corrugation to this gorge. We thought it was pretty busy when we got there. Looked even busier as we left. Short walk, bit steep. Cold water. Pretty amazing spot bar the crowds. Though get the feeling there won’t be many places that will be free […]
20230718 Tom Price
This is a small mining town near Karijini National Park. Before we got there, we drive through Cheela station. Kylie got a coffee. Drive to Tom Price was about 180kms today from the rest stop. We are gonna spend 5 nights here and explore a few of the attractions around […]
20230717 Travel day to Tom Price
Stopped at a 24 hour test stop about half way to Tom Price. Kylie got stooges by some old couple looking for donations for the Royal flying doctors. Have her some old brochures and last year’s calendar and one of their own travel books. Beasley Creek. But no creek. Seb […]
20230716 Exmouth Gulf
Still at Bullara Station, just went for a drive to the gulf. About 50km of corrugated roads. Went to a boat ramp there and see a heap of mud skippers. Tried some fishing, no luck. We have entered crocodile territory now. Just. The mud flats really creep up during tidal […]
20230716 Catch up photos Kylie
Kids called these toys spotty and humpy. I different Gina and Lindsay after the guides that helped with the whale shark swim. So Spotty Lindsay and Humpy Gina. To the tune of “Frere Jacques” Whale shark-a whale shark-a, where are you? where are you? Come up to the surface, come […]
20230715 travel to Bullara Station
Short drive to Bullara Station stay. Bit surprised how many people are here actually. Mira has her friends here so she is happy. I went for a short walk with Seb. Put in a good effort to give the place a rustic feel. Even though he looks happy in that […]
20230713 Whale Sharks v2
Today we go out on a tour to hopefully swim with whale sharks. We did. Was a long day, early start, but probably worth it. There were a few moments where I thought Seb wasn’t gonna have a go but he jumped in eventually. Mira was scared but did it […]
20230712 Exmouth day 1
We headed to lakeside on the other side of the peninsula for a practice snorkel. Kids got the hang of it, drifting with the current. Was a bit cold for them but should be enough so the can go whale sharking tomorrow. Stopped and got some snaps with the giant […]
