Karijini really is a jewel in the Pilbara landscape but the Pilbara coastline still has a lot to offer. After leaving Karijini, we had to double back on ourselves and leave the same way we came in as the road we had planned to take to Karratha was still closed from the heavy rain. A…

Our next camp took us 600km from Exmouth, and into the Karijini National Park. Given the rain which had fallen over the Pilbara region towards the end of our stay in Exmouth, we decided to use a cloudy day for a long day on the road and covered around 500km to get us close to…

We have covered another 760km since leaving Shark Bay and have hopped from one World Heritage Area to another – the Ningaloo Coast. The drive from Shark Bay was largely uneventful, breaking up the drive with a free camp just south of Carnarvon. We did enjoy a fun visit to the space and technology museum…

After the adventure and excitement on Dirk Hartog Island, we enjoyed some time to reset at a caravan park in Denham. We stayed on the same park Andy and I stayed at more than 10 years ago, but the footprint of the campsite has doubled since then and the place is huge! The other thing…

Around 280km north of Kalbarri, we arrive at Hamelin Station which is the gateway to the Shark Bay World Heritage Area. Now owned and operated by Bush Heritage Australia, Hamelin Station covers an area of over 200,000 ha and extends the heritage protection area of Shark Bay by more than 10%. It also includes the…

Kalbarri is a small town approximately 570km north of Perth. Yes, we are absolutely motoring through this section of the coastline but there are a couple of reasons for that. The main reason is that we are on a bit of a timeline to get to Exmouth for mid May. The other reason is that…

After leaving Moore River Ranch, we travelled a short 50km west to the coast and the small seaside township of Lancelin. Having visited Lancelin back in 2010 on a kite surfing adventure, we were keen to see what had changed. The answer… not much! Turning up on the Sunday of the ANZAC long weekend, the…

After spending a few days with friends in Perth, we made the relatively short drive (approximately 130km north) to Moore River Ranch. Slightly inland from our usual coastal camp sites, Moore River Ranch is a private animal sanctuary set in the bush close to Reagan’s Ford. First and foremost, the property operates as an animal…

There are certainly many sides to Margaret River and it wouldn’t be fair to check out the winery and not venture to the beach. We are pretty much in the middle of school holidays and the Easter long weekend so I am thankful that we were able to book our site at Prevelly campsite a…

I won’t lie… this camp was 100% all about mum. Heading north from Augusta, we made the short drive to the Margaret River region and set up at our next camp at Jarvis Estate Winery. Lovely peaceful place to stay, with six designated camp spots tucked away around the edge of the vineyard (or wine…
