TRIP OVERVIEW
We have been away 15 weeks and driven 10,000 km, 90% of that was on dirt roads. Some roads have been so very corrugated, rocky and dusty, the Prado and Trixie have survived a beating, only time will tell how much damage has been done. The areas we have travelled have been so vastly different and it...
Homeward Bound
We are now on our finally leg heading towards home. Having 5 nights in Exmouth with Peter, cleaning everything and enjoying the last of the sunshine and warmth. Though it is not very warm today, only 17degrees and very windy. We leave on Monday and will stop in Carnarvon, Kalbarri and Geraldton befo...
Purnululu National Park
We had an amazing 3 nights, 2 full days, in the Purnululu National Park. The rock formations are so different again from the rest of The Kimberley, also they look different North and South. We did every walk available in the National Park, so we covered nearly 30 km on foot. Photo's of course don't...
The Gibb River Road
We have finally finish the adventure of a lifetime, 24 days of dust, heat, corrugations and amazing scenery. I can fairly say that Trixie and the Prado have taken a beating. Luckily we had no mishaps or punctures. There are many who have. We took it very slowly at times, the only way we think. Every...
Next Leg - Gibb River Road
We are now in Derby preparing for the trip along the Gibb River Road, expected to be approximately 4 weeks. The weather is very warm and I am sure the road will be very dusty and rough. I sure hope I can swim in some places. We have booked 3 nights at the Mornington Wilderness Camp, from the 15/7/20...
Coral Discoverer Cruise
We set off from Broome on an amazing 10 day Expedition around the Kimberley Coast. We saw some fabulous coastline, so many different rock formations, bays and waterfalls. Not a lot of wildlife but we did see some dolphins, a few crocodiles, osprey and sea eagles with their nests, heard many smaller...
Broome
We are staying at the Cable Beach Caravan Park for 6 nights, before heading off on our 10 night cruise on the Coral Discoverer. We had a lovely catch up with Lou and Doris after their bus tour around the Kimberley. The weather has been lovely, around 30 degrees with a light breeze. The tide times ha...
On our way to Broome
We are now in Port Hedland for a couple of nights, awaiting our new tyre. It finally arrived today (Saturday) so we can head off tomorrow. Over the last 5 days we have had a lot of rain, luckily we are off the dirt roads for now. A lot of roads in the areas we have traveled are closed due to floodin...
Our travels so far
We have now been away for nearly 3 weeks. The time has slipped away as we travel our vast beautiful country. Going through the Murchison, Gascoyne and Upper Gascoyne Shires it has been very dry, dusty and baron, they badly need rain in these areas. The beautiful rock colours and formations as we hea...
