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."

feed the Dolphins
I'm glad you feed the dolphins as I also ticked it of my bucket list and it was one of the best things I have ever done they are so beautiful. We spent a week at Shark Bay and loved it. We will be pleased to read all about the rest of your trip now as this was as far as we went. I would be interested to know what distances ther is between motel/roadhouses, if they are as close as they were on the Nullabor as I would really love to drive up the west coast. We hope you enjoy the rest of your trip and look forward to reading the rest love Wendy & Jeff

HI Wendy and Jeff
Yes, it was a surreal experience feeding the dolphins. I am sorry photos are not up yet but they will get there one day. Unfortunately we will be out of range as we will be free camping for the next week or so and therefore I am not sure when I will get the pics up or the next blog posted ..but stay tuned Mike & Trish
