Every Australian goes on and on about the beauty of Cable Beach in Broome. For us it was just an other beach. Yeah, it is beautiful, yeah it is a beach. And that’s it. Noting more, nothing less, except for the mosquitoes. Maybe we didn’t like it that much, because in contrary to the others…
Read moreGorgeous Gorges part 1: Karijini National Park
While most tourists concentrate on the red centre and the East coast of Australia, people always told us that West Australia is the most beautiful part, just harder to get to. Well…they weren’t wrong! We’ve seen some amazing things on our trip, but Karijini National Park has to be one of the highlights so far….
Read moreSeasnakes at the Jetty
Australians have a sign for everything. Even on a sign there is a sign that says: “Please handle this sign with two people”. But for one of the most beautiful sights around Exmouth, there was no special sign at all. The Learmonth Jetty, which is supposed to be a great fishing spot, is absolutely stunning….
Read moreSneaky Visitors at the Campsite
At the RAC Caravan Park in Exmouth, a resident gang of emus patrols the campground. They really like your potato chips, so if you don’t like to share them (and you don’t want the emus to become sick), eat them quickly!
Read moreDiving: Doing Things You Never Imagined
After rereading our last post, we realized that we forgot to make a post about our diving adventure! So here it is! Since we did an introductory dive in Cairns four years ago, we knew we wanted to learn to dive. Now we had the time and money for it. We were far too busy…
Read moreDriving to Darwin on Love and Noodles
Great experiences like diving and swimming with whale sharks and manta rays aren’t cheap. With still over 3000 kilometers to go, we have about half a dollar per kilometer left on the bank account. Luckily there are some ways to cut the costs of traveling and living, such as free camping and camping in national…
Read moreSwimming with the AWESOMEST Animal Ever: Manta Rays!
You’d think that nature can’t do better than whalesharks to have a swim with. Apparently she can. Just half an hour later, on the same whaleshark trip with the Exmouth Diving Center with Sara Barbieri, we were back in the water, but this time we were surrounded by seven very curious manta rays! The stiller…
Read moreSwimming with the Largest Fish: Whalesharks!
Whale sharks can grow up to 12 meters and feed on plankton. They don’t mind if you have a swim with them as long as you don’t bother them. We saw three of these beautiful creatures and we were lucky to swim with them for over half an hour. Thanks to Sara Barbieri from the…
Read more$10 Haircuts
For the past twelve years I have been going to the same hairdresser. Their team is AWESOME! Every time I go there my hair looks amazing. Since we’ll only be back in Belgium in one month, my fringe and tips really need a cut right now! Trying to be a real backpacker, I needed a…
Read morePinnacles Desert (with Complementary Bird)
When I read that one of my former clients posted a facebook message of a lost bird, Tom and I started looking for it. We think we might have found it in the Pinnacles Desert. It was very hard to make sure it was him, because here in Australia he has a lot of brothers,…
