Na alle foto’s van onze trip tot nog toe te herbekijken, kwamen we er achter dat we helemaal vergeten waren om deze blog te posten. Het is ondertussen al enkele maanden geleden dat we in Monkey Mia waren, maar we wilden jullie deze niet onthouden! Het klinkt als een droom, maar in realiteit sta je…

One of the best kept secrets of Australia can be found at the border crossing of Western Australia to the Northern Territories. Why no major travel guide mentions the beautiful Keep River National Park remains a mystery to us. Besides the beautiful park, the campground is definitely worth a stay. It is really cheap ($…

The Kimberly is known for its amazing abundance of boab trees (also known as Baobabs). This is without a doubt Tom’s new favorite tree. They grow enormous trunks that hold precious water, and their branches grow in a very harmonious way. In Derby, they even used one of the large trunks as a prison in…

Lake Argyle is not just very beautiful, it also houses way too many catfish. Which is AWESOME! As rookie fishermen, we don’t know a lot about fish and fishing, but there is one thing we know for sure: it is always amazing when they bite, no matter what kind of fish it is! The feeling…

Het is nooit leuk om afscheid te nemen van medetrippers. Maar aan alle verhaaltjes komt er een einde… Als afscheidscadeau mochten we Jasmine en Nino hun vislijn adopteren. Fantastisch! Het is altijd (toch sinds het calamarivissen) mijn droom geweest om de trotse eigenares te zijn van een vislijn. Bij deze kan ik eindelijk zeggen dat…

They might sound like words somebody made up, but the Bungle Bungles – originally? named Purnululu by the Aboriginals – totally exist! They’re these AWESOME “beehive/molten jaffa cake” rock structures where you can walk through. Only downside is that the 53km long road to reach them is incredibly hard and rocky, but in the end…

Normally, whenever we’re asked “Do you like caves?”, we go “Meh…” It’s not that we don’t like them, it’s just that we’ve seen so many stalactites and -mites already that we’re sick of them. However, Tunnel Creek was really AWESOME! This cave system in the Devonian Reef was the hideout of an Aboriginal freedom fighter…

Toni, our car, is probably not completely up to the task of driving the entire Gibb River Road (or we won’t risk the river crossings in any case). However, we were told that the first short part of it is the most beautiful anyway. So, we drove from Derby up until the first river crossing…

Free camps are a great way to travel on a budget, and stay in some amazing places while you’re at it. James Price Point on the Dampier Peninsula is such a place. It’s legal to camp at the top of the cliffs here, entirely for free. There’s no amenities, thousands of flies and mosquitos, lots…
