Broome 31st May 2012 Leaving Barn Hill we headed North again on the Great Northern Highway towards Roebuck Roadhouse and the turn off to Broome. This has been the one destination that Trisha has waited to get to, not only on this trip but ever since arriving in Australia all those years ago. I can hear her on many occasions saying “when can we go to Broome?” Well guess what baby, you are now ... Read Full Entry

Hi, we are Mike and Trish and about to start the next phase of our lives. Over thirty years ago we travelled from London to Kathmandu which instilled in us a love of travel. We live in Australia and since our initial adventure have done the "family thing". During this period we have maintained our travel bug by regular trips OS but mostly by 4WDing and camping trips throughout this great country. Now it is time to do the big lap, "The Wrong Way Around." We have sold up in Kyneton, Victoria and put into storage what we wish to keep to furnish our next 'base' and the plan is to travel for at lea... full info

Looks a bit dry from the photos on Google Earth and bit red at the beach. What has happened to your photos? None posted for a few blogs now. Fish and Chips on the beach, just like being in the UK!!!! Brian

That cammel ride is prob the only movement Trish has had in years although there was movement in Busselton after England.I agree i have seen better beaches than cable, but not so many nudies in one place but you would not have seen them because of the senery you were looking at . Miss you both bought a bottle of Mount Gay duty free will drink it all by myself, love you both mainly Trish xxxxx

I thought we got rid of you!
Now you just hold onto that Rum as you know it affects your heart at your age. Just keep it until we catch up and I will help you dispose of it safely. Amos (the camel) has been on sick leave, we hear, since we left Broome, he is pinning (spelling?) for us.

Mr.Dampier
Dampier was given command of the "Roebuck" in 1699, the expedition left on the 14th January 1699. On the 26th July 1699 he reached Shark Bay, it was then called Dirk Hartog Island. One other notable thing about Dampier was that he rescued Alexander Selkirk,the inspiration for Robinson Crusoe, that is apart from being the first man to circumnavigate the earth three times.

Once a seaman...
..always a seaman, I think you (like me) were born in the wrong era, I could see you as a swashbuckling skipper of a cutter plying around the new antipodes. Photos...sorry, but with such limited time internet available, when i get a signal and have time I have been busy trying to catch up on Blog entries (I am still a couple of thousand kilometres behind which is about 7 or 8 blogs!) but, maybe I will do some pics next instead of entries to keep you all interested. Stay safe Grandad.

Kyneton to Broome
Hi Trish & Mike it sounds as though you are having a fantastic time, your blog sure takes some reading as I have not looked for months. This would make a great book. We are well just having small holidays to Marego, Lakes Entrance and soon off to Port Broughton all on the holiday auctions. November Eden & Bateman's Bay.Russell is planning a trip to Alice to visit friends early 2013 and who knows where else. Donna did the Frankston Ironman and managed to do her PB of 13h.31m.32s and she pulled up very well but has decided not to tempt fate with her hip and will just do the local Tri's. Take care and have a great time. Pat

WOAH!
Look at the colour of that water! It looks as though it has been photoshopped! Absolutely unreal.
