We enjoyed our breakfast in the camp kitchen at the Porongurup Caravan Park before heading off again . The weather was looking OK for the moment, so we took our chances and headed off to walk the track to Castle Rock. The track was delightful. Just enough climb to know that we were alive withoutContinue reading “28/8/21 – Castle Rock, and finally we arrive at Tozer’s Bush Camp”

27/8/21 – Heading for the Stirling Ranges
This was pretty much a rainy and cold day from start to finish. We decided to just have our rain jackets ready and see how we went. When I started planning for this big trip the Stirling Ranges was a place that I already had in my head as somewhere I really wanted to getContinue reading “27/8/21 – Heading for the Stirling Ranges”
17/8/21 Kalbarri to Ellendale Pool
All our friends were busy for the day in Geraldton (medical and vehicle issues) so we made our way down the coast from Kalbarri at our own pace. We visited the hot bread shop and bought buns for morning tea. Our first stop was Blue Holes (the in crowd were calling this place Blue PolesContinue reading “17/8/21 Kalbarri to Ellendale Pool”
16/8/21 Kalbarri National Park.
It wasn’t far to get to Kalbarri National Park from Warribano chimney. As we entered the eastern part of the park we were greeted by a huge range of vegetation along the road. Our first stop was Ross Graham lookout. Ross Graham was apparently the first schoolteacher in Kalbarri and a great supporter for theContinue reading “16/8/21 Kalbarri National Park.”
12/8/21. Kennedy Range NP
Due to all the other distractions last night we still didn’t have a clear plan for today. The draft schedule said that we should be heading for Kennedy Range NP but the others were keen to get in more snorkelling if they could and reluctant to make the inland detour. We met in the gamesContinue reading “12/8/21. Kennedy Range NP”
2/8/21-Millstream- 40 mile camp
By the time we were up Thom and Laura would have had Australia in view. After moving out of the campground we took a brief detour along Snappy Gum Drive across a narrow causeway which crosses the Fortescue River. Unfortunately the road was closed and we had to turn around and retrace our drive, leavingContinue reading “2/8/21-Millstream- 40 mile camp”
1/8/21. Karijini to Millstream NP
Pink hock flowers and purple mulla mulla decorated our travel from Karijini to Tom Price. On the advice of the girl in the Karijini visitor centre we had changed our plans about how we would get to Millstream. At the Tom Price visitor centre we waited our turn to watch the 20 minute induction videoContinue reading “1/8/21. Karijini to Millstream NP”
31/7 Kalamina gorge
We had a much quieter and lazier day today. We once more drove the corrugated dirt road to the west, but not for so long. We stopped at Kalamina Gorge, where we spent a relaxed and enjoyable time. After the rocky climb down into the gorge we first turned to the right and, after aContinue reading “31/7 Kalamina gorge”
30/7/21-Weano Gorge and Hancock Gorge
As we drove the very corrugated road across to our next day of Karijini adventure we admired the beautiful purple Mulla Mullas so beautifully arranged on the road verges and the striking white trunks of snappy gums against the red of the rock and pale green of the spinifex. Hancock gorge was our first targetContinue reading “30/7/21-Weano Gorge and Hancock Gorge”
29/7/21 Dales Gorge Karinjini
We decided to se the closer areas to our campsite and walked down from our campsite to the Dales Gorge area. Our first stop was at Circular pool lookout. This gave our first spectacular look into the deep, dark red gorges of Karijini. It afforded a spectacular look down into Circular Pool itself. This lovelyContinue reading “29/7/21 Dales Gorge Karinjini”
