If there was a reason to take this cruise, it was the unique wild life of Komodo Island. The Dawn was quite late leaving Bali due to the late return of one of the tours. The Captain apologised and expected to maybe peg back half of that time but having us a little late at Komodo Island. As it it happened, the southern leg was good sailing and the total time was made up. That was until the ship ... read more

Marg and Rob purchased a Horizon Wattle (Mercedes Sprinter) motorhome built by Ballina Campers and planned to circumnavigate Australia over the following couple of years, collecting it just after Rob retired in May 2011. The couple of years grew out to over 4 years during which time we travelled from Brisbane to Perth return accross the Nullarbor both ways in 2011; in 2012 we travelled various places on the East Coast of Australia. The highlight of the year was our October November trip to Port Douglas which included the total eclipse of the sun. 2013 saw us do a 'Lap' or 'Trip around the blo... full info

The Komodo dragons are fascinating

Komodo Isalnd
There is little else on Komodo Island. It is a small rugged island with scrub type forest and open grass land. A few native deer and pigs, some bird life and that is it really. The dragons are really a historic creature found here and on another small island close by. Singapore Zoo has one as does Australia zoo.
