Across the Nullabor we go. First stop Fraser Range Station about 100k past Norseman which is the official start of the Nullabor. This is a sheep station and a really pretty place to stay. Next stop was a road side stop about a third of the way across the bight a town called Cocklebiddy. Then we made it to Bunda Cliffs, and cliffs they were big cliffs 60mtrs straight down to the ocean. and it was really windy. Our Final day on the Nullabor was a blast we stopped of at “the Head of The Bight” and it was well worth [View Full Entry]

We travelled to Esperance where it was still windy and cold but at least the sun was shining. Tuesday was spent doing some school work and catching up on washing etc Wednesday we decided to take a drive out to Le Grande National Park to see some of WA most beautiful beaches and we were not disappointed. Le Grande beach was amazing and had a great camping area on the beach, but Hellfire Bay was a favourite and the colour of the water was amazingly blue with pure white sand. [View Full Entry]

Albany was cold, real cold and windy we didn’t feel much like doing much the first day. But the next day was better so we headed out to explore. Our first stop was Whale World, this was Albany’s old whaling station that closed down in the 1980’s. The tour around it was pretty gross, they explained ever step of the whaling process from chasing and catching the whales to bringing them to the station and slaughtering them. It has some great stuff too like a massive blue whale skeleton, and a 3D movie on whales shown in a converted storage tank. [View Full Entry]

WE left Exmouth and headed south enroute to Carnarvon but decided to stop at Coral bay for another snorkel, before saying goodbye to the reef and making our way south. We arrived late into Carnarvon and set up in the Big 4 caravan park that had a great view of the OTC satellite dish that is now not in use but was used to communicate with the Apollo missions and to also track Halley's Comet. Still travelling south we arrived in Denham for a couple of days to explore the area , the highlight was to see the Dolphins at Monkey [View Full Entry]

Back on the road toward Perth, We made it as far as Geraldton, Dannielle has been exploring her skills as family chef, I am not sure if we have a Jamie Oliver due to the creativity or a Gordon Ramsey because of the attitude when things go wrong but the food is good. We continued on to the Cervantes and the Pinnacles today, almost arrived at Perth but stopped just north, the weather is a little cooler and we have even seen a little rain which we haven’t seen a drop of since we left home, not happy but still having [View Full Entry]

We arrived in Exmouth, a small coastal town at the tip The Ningaloo Reef, the reef is WA’s answer to the Great Barrier Reef but the coral is right on the shoreline so we spent the next day, snorkeling up and down Turquoise Bay looking for “Nemo” and we even managed to chase a turtle or two. The coral was amazing too, very colourful. It was amazing to see it so close to the shore only 10m in places, so Samuel got to practice his snorkeling skills and see “Dory” and “Nemo” for real. Steve, Shay and Julie kept snorkelling after [View Full Entry]

We drove out to Gantheume Point and Sam took a dip in Anastasias pool, a small pool carved in the rocky coastline by the lighthouse keeper for his wife to relieve her arthritis, the pool filled up at high tide. Sunset on the beach is amazing here [View Full Entry]
