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…

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…

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…

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…

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…
