After our last stop in SA we headed to the GOR. We had arranged to do more WWOOFing in Lorne, in a holiday/retreat place called Allenvale. We were also waiting to hear back about a farm job in NSW but until then continued on our journey. We travelled along the coast, passing other towns before we got to the GOR. It's a bit of a drive if you see everything! The first of our 2 days we travelled up to the 12 apostles, stopping at various viewing spots (such as The Arch, and London Bridge) of other cliff and rock formations. It was very very windy on this day, and we were hoping to catch a helicopter flight over the apostles, so we didn't in the end that day. The sun was setting by the time ... read more

During our time in the Flinders, we applied for a job orange picking in Wakierie, inland SA. We heard back and it sounded positive and as we weren't too far we headed down there. We met the manager and all sounded good, except for when we were shown the accommodation....not even something you'd let your dog sleep in! I wasn't safe structurally or clean so we thought we could stay in a local vanpark....wouldn't make as much money but better than nothing. So we rocked up and paid for a week, hopeful we could get on with the job. After a few days we heard nothing back, maybe because we wouldn't stay in their accom we don't know, but we cut our losses and headed for Adelaide. Whilst we were on the road to Adelaide, we ... read more

After Esperance we talked about going to Adelaide, but there was one thing Paul really wanted to see and that was the Flinders Rangers National Park, I was of course up for exploring anything, so we started the very long journey from WA to SA. Crossing the nullabor, I was excited at first as it's a famous road with the 90 mile straight, in reality it was very uneventful! I passed the time reading and me and Paul had a competition of how many waves we could get from people coming the other way.....he played it cool and just raised a finger at the wheel where as I did the full on wave! Must have looked a bit loopy! I still won though :) our first stop was Caiguna, it's basically just a place where the ... read more

After my lovely time in Perth, and meeting up with Paul, we headed down to Denmark, to WWOOF (willing workers on organic farms) it's a scheme where backpackers can work in exchange for food and accomodation, we thought we'd do this whilst we try and get some paid work! Plus Denmark was meant to be a beautiful part of Australia, and it certainly was! We briefly stopped at Margaret River before heading to Denmark but I can't find any snaps! We stayed on an Alpaca tourist farm, helping them feed the animals, we got to hold and feed koala's, kangaroos, alpaca's, birds, rabbits, goats and plenty more farm animals! We stayed there for 2 and a half weeks, during our spare time we explored the local area and beach - Greens Pool. We also had a ... read more
