The beginning of our Adventure.. There and back again.
They say it's a dangerous business, going out your door. You drive along the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to. Okay pardon all the nerdy quotes from Lord of the Rings. It’s finally time….after all the car modifications, last minute purchases (...
Ninga whaaat! (Ningaloo / Coral coast, WA)
In the famous poem "My Country" Dorothea Mackellar once described Australia as "A land of sweeping plains, Of ragged mountain ranges, Of droughts and flooding rains." Well I think she missed a bit... The Coast! We decided to stuff the endless savannah of the north and the red dust of the desert! it...
Karen's Genie, (Karinjin/Pilbara, WA)
No, this isn't a post about a Karen's amazing mystical being that allows her to talk to the manager 3 times. It's about our travels to the Pilbara/Karijini region. Where the bloody hell is that you ask? Well here is a circled in red on a map for reference. We headed out from Broome to our first stop...
N.W.A, Straight outta The Kimberley (North Western Australia)
Time for some heat, red dust, boabs and desert. Time for the Kimberley, Western Australia. *Edit*: Heya! Future Mark here. I realised that people may not know where the Kimberley is. So it's roughly here on a map of Australia. And a bit more zoomed in: Edits complete! We crossed the border and had t...
We of the never never drinking. Part 2 (East Arnhem land tour)
*Edit*: Heya future Mark here. Just thought I'd add a rough map of where this post is talking about. The saga of the tour continues! We last left you at Katherine. Well from there we headed up the Central Arhem Land Road. A character unto itself, hundreds of kilometres of dusty corrugated gravel ro...
We of the never never drinking. (Arnhem land tour part 1)
*Edit*: Heya future Mark here. Just thought I'd add a rough map of where this post is talking about. Another day another 4wd tour! This time of Arnhemland with "great divide" tours. We all met up the night earlier, to get to know each other and talk about the trip. The first part of our trip was in...
Just the Tip (The tour to the tip of Queensland)
This write up is of our tour to the tip with "Cape York Guided Tours". What an belly stuffing adventure! Maybe I should start with describing the rag tag team of staff and touries. Dale - the tour leader. A rough and tough fearless leader who's been shot once already (no seriously). Never heard of t...
Its a bird!, No its a plane, no wait... its a another snake.
In the vast expanse of the cosmos, on a day not nearly as eventful as the previous snake encounter, but nevertheless brimming with its own peculiarities, a deadly creature crossed our path. The sun beamed warmly upon us as we embarked on a leisurely bush walk, aiming to reach a viewpoint that overlo...
First snake encounter!
In the heart of Dorrigo National Park, Claire embarked on a tranquil stroll, surrounded by the enchanting beauty of nature. As she ventured further into the wilderness, an unexpected sight awaited her on the path ahead. There, standing proud and majestic, was a rock wallaby, its presence commanding...
