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…

… because we can! This is the other side of Kalbarri National Park: next to spectacular gorges, they also have a quite spectacular coastline! However, after you’ve seen the Great Ocean Road – or Étretat in France for that matter – you lose the sense of awe for these, and you catch yourself thinking “is…

During 3 months of working in Perth, Claudia was on her feet most of the time. I, however, was sitting down most of the time, programming a cool new site for an Australian startup. Unfortunately, that means all the hiking skills I had picked up during our first month of travel slowly disappeared… Luckily, we…
