Het is absoluut niet moeilijk om je wekelijkse Quokka Quota te halen op Rottnest Island. Gewoon van de boot stappen en naar je chalet wandelen is al voldoende om een handvol quokka’s te zien. De straat is net niet geplaveid met ze en soms stap je per ongeluk op hun staart. Maar één ding doen…

Since we arrived in Perth, every Tuesday we have been going to the Hale Road Tavern to participate in the Trivia night. A lot of the questions are very Australia-minded, and most of the music questions date from a time we weren’t even born yet. Participating is great, because every week we learn more about the…

Dear diary, Today was my last day at work. Luckily I didn’t drop any more glasses on the floor. It was a beautiful last day. Once again I got this beautiful sunset, sadly for the last time. Everybody was so nice to me, as usual. And I even made some facebook fiends, which is AWESOME!…

After our last trip we woke up so early that our tent was still a little bit wet from the fog. To dry it, we put it in the sun at our last housesit. It’s not only wildlife that likes our tent. Kai, our housesitting buddy, absolutely loved it!

At first sight you think somebody lost his eighties wig or that there is a walking piece of grass next to the road, but when you turn back, stop the car, and take a closer look, you learn that it’s an echidna! You don’t see them very often. Sadly the first one got so scared of…

Getting up early in the morning is not one of our favorite things, but it can be very rewarding. Albany (not Albania!) is a beautiful coastal city in the South of Western Australia. At first we thought we were still dreaming, but when we blinked our eyes, we realized this wasn’t a scene from Lord…

We love huge trees! Especially the ones in the Valley of the Giants near Denmark (the town, not the country). The treetop walk is one of the highlights of the beautiful South-West Western Australia. You almost feel like a tree yourself when you wiggle along with them 40 meters above the solid ground. Even back…

Dé toeristische attractie van Hamelin Bay zijn de stingrays. Deze rogachtigen hebben soms een doorsnede van meer dan één meter en vinden het fantastisch om in deze baai te glijden in de golfslag. Gewoon met je enkels in het water staan, is al voldoende om ze over je voeten te laten zwemmen! Deze vissen zijn…

First of all: I really like my job! There is only one thing that doesn’t feel right. Sadly it’s something that I have to do every time I work. I tried to leave this particular part of my job to my colleagues, but there is no escaping. Every time I do this thing, a little…
