  • Day 140 – Mainland Australia’s most westerly point

    We had an early start at Wooramel this morning since the plan was to day trip to Steep Point – Mainland Australia’s most westerly point. I was very proud of us as we drove out of the campsite at 7.15am, I think that has to be some form of record! We had a brief stop for…

  • Day 139 – Carnarvon to Wooramel

    We decided to make the most of Carnarvon since we ended up here unexpectedly and headed to the Space museum in the morning. I must say that everyone enjoyed it a lot! It’s amazing that Carnarvon played such a big part in the NASA space race and just how many interesting artifacts, articles and learning…

  • Day 138 – Quobba blowhole

    We had an early and easy morning at Coral Bay, with a play at the playground for the girls and a coffee from the bakery. Everyone was happy with our decision not to stay the extra night at 14 miles… Then it was back on the road and on to Quobba Station. Driving to South…

  • Day 137 – Coral Bay (unexpectedly)

    The wind all night was out of control at 14 miles and none of us could bare the thought of another night of the same… it was meant to slow down mildly during day, but was going to be even more intense that night! So as soon as the caravan parks in Coral Bay opened we…

  • Day 136 – Bullara to 14 Miles

    It was another early start with work with all the activities happening in the lead up to World Marrow Donor Day on Saturday 21st September. My little minions accompanied me to grab some coffees to make the pack up process more efficient. Sadly, the late night at dinner translated into hot heads and tantrums this…

  • Day 135 – Bullara Station

    I got up extra early this morning to coincide some early hours of work with Sydney and It was a glorious sunrise. As I grabbed my laptop with an ocean view I saw a dark lump in the water, so I grabbed the binoculars to have a closer look. It turned out to be two…

  • Day 134 – Last day at Osprey

    It was a cool start to the day, so all the jumpers were out, but at least the sun was shining and it warmed up pretty quickly and the expected wind wasn’t around in the morning… We went to explore out a secret location that people had recommended for confirmed turtle sightings, however it turned…

  • Day 133 – Magical days on the reef

    Today was a little cooler and more overcast than yesterday with predicted winds later in the afternoon, but it would be hard to expect two perfect days on the Windy Always coast, during the windiest month of what has been the windiest season.  The sunrise was was beautiful and Scarly and I enjoyed breakfast with…

  • Day 132 – Osprey Bay – the king of turtles

    Today was moving day, but as it was only a short drive down the road we didn’t rush too much. There was colouring in, breakfast in our pjs and a sign that it would be our lucky day with two double-yolkers! The corellas were circling our campsite in search of food and you really can’t…

  • Day 131 – Scarly is 3!

    An exciting day as our beautiful baby (I mean I’m supposed to say big girl) turns 3! The life and soul of every get together dancing her way through life. I hope the wild spirit and those curls never tame…  The big girls were super excited to jump into our bed and help Scarly read…

  • Day 130 – Mesa

    This morning started with a different adventure when I went to grab a yoghurt for Scarly from the car fridge and instead got greeted by a mouse staring at me from the table cavity in the drawer system. I am proud to say that my scream was only short and not too loud considering the…

  • Day 129 – More Ningaloo Magic

    I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of the sunrise (and sunset views) around here. It’s definitely worth the early mornings, which to be honest my human alarms always seem to be awake for sunrise anyway. Jazzy and Scarly enjoyed some brekkie on the beach watching the sun creep out for another glorious day. The…

  • Day 128 – Winderabandi

    It was time to leave South Lefroy and explore the next adventure spot along the Ningaloo – Winderabandi. We’d heard great things about it and were excited to experience it for ourselves! Especially since it meant escaping the wind for a more sheltered spot. We packed up pretty efficiently and hopped in the car. There…

  • Day 127 – Windy South Lefroy

    Overnight the wind picked up a lot and it was howling, making for a rather restless night for me while the wind rocked the van and everything got sandblasted. It was going to be an interesting day. It was still a beautiful sunrise over the dunes and the water probably felt warmer than the outside…

  • Day 126 – Father’s Day on the Ningaloo

    Waking up in paradise was quite something. Jazzy and I were up first and while everyone snoozed in a bit more we went to explore the beach at sunrise. The sand felt so cold and it was definitely jumper weather first thing in the morning, but so worth the view! We got back just as…
