Surfing is a real big thing in Australia and it’s something you should do when you are visiting Down Under. Since we don’t have the set of skills to ride the waves yet (although Tom often surfs on the internet, real waves are not his specialty…), we had to look for alternatives. Luckily Wave Rock…

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…

Every Perthian will tell you to visit King’s Park with its botanical gardens, when you ask them what to visit in Perth. So we did! Jenny, the guide, took us on an amazing free tour (at 10h, 12h and 14h) and treetop walk. It was a journey where we saw lots of AWESOME native plants…

In between job hunting and doctor’s visits (we’ll get to that later), we ventured into Perth for some much needed refreshment for the mind & the body. Perth did not disappoint in either. This city of contrasts offers a bit of everything: from cool “chilling” squares with free sunscreen & water entertainment, to buzzing bars…

Na een zware dag werken in de goudmijnen en de super pit is het heerlijk vertoeven in een frisse saloonachtige sportsbar. De biertjes worden getapt door strakke dames in ondergoed (“Skimpies”) en gaan als zoete broodjes over de toonbank bij de werkmannen. (De biertjes welteverstaan en niet de Skimpies!) Het lijkt wel de intro van…

After having a great time on the Yorke Peninsula, we’re now back at South Australia’s coast on the Eyre Peninsula, and so far, this one is even nicer than the previous one! You might say that we’re becoming big fans of Australia’s peninsulas! (we can only assume that the other ones are just as nice…
