Monkey Mia à Kalbarri - Darwin à Perth Jour 12

Two Dolphins at Monkey Mia

Plus nous voyageons vers le sud, plus cela devient touristique, mais cela n'enlève rien à cela. Monkey Mia est connu pour ses dauphins sauvages, et au sein même de Monkey Mia, il n'y a qu'un seul endroit où séjourner, le RAC Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort.

Parc national d'Exmouth et Ningaloo - Darwin à Perth Jour 9

Snorkelling at Ningaloo National Park

Day 9 on our Darwin to Perth road trip saw us have a little bit of a sleep in before hitting the road. Since we arrived late to the Ningaloo Caravan Park and Resort without the right cash, we had to go to reception in the morning to get our change after they opened. That meant waiting until 8:30 am before we could head off.

Unfortunately, we had a small hiccup. As we were packing the van up to leave we noticed one of our rear tires seemed to be down a long way, almost flat.

We had a beautiful morning to see, and the beach is just across the public car park from the caravan park, so we had the perfect location to get some beautiful sunrise photos.

Broome à Point Samson - Darwin à Perth Roadtrip Jour 7

Old mining truck

Today was a day of driving. We needed to get down to Point Samson and make up a little bit of time after spending an extra day in Broome. It’s about 834km’s, so if you are doing that distance, you can expect it to take up most of the day, particularly once you add in … Lire plus

Excursion d'une journée complète aux chutes horizontales au départ de Broome

The Horizontal Falls

If there is one thing you do in Australia besides Uluru/Ayers Rock, it’s the Horizontal Falls. Located at Talbot Bay in the Kimberley region of northern Western Australia, I don’t think there is anything quite like this anywhere else. For the Kiwi’s, this is like Doubtful Sound, remote, hard to reach, and uniquely beautiful. Unlike … Lire plus

Une journée complète à Broome Itinéraire - Darwin à Perth Jour 5

Sunrise over Roebuck Bay

Le jour 5 a été un changement bienvenu. Après 5 jours de conduite sur de longues distances, c'était agréable de passer la journée entière à Broome à explorer les sites touristiques. Nous avons pu regarder le lever du soleil sur Roebuck Bay en regardant en arrière vers la côte ouest australienne.

Fitzroy Crossing à Broome via Derby - Darwin à Perth Jour 4

Close-Up of the Boab Prison Tree

Day 4 is one of the few days where we doubled back on ourselves. Unfortunately, it’s impossible to go to Derby and not double back while staying on sealed roads.   If you get this far, it is worth taking the detour and heading up to Derby.     Derby is located on King Sound … Lire plus

Darwin à Perth Jour 3 - Kununurra à Fitzroy Crossing

The Bungle Bungles seem to go on as far as the eye can see

Avec un vol en hélicoptère au-dessus des Bungle Bungles dans le parc national de Purnululu, le voyage d'aujourd'hui était un voyage passionnant de Kununurra à Fitzroy Crossing.

Day 2, driving from Katherine, NT to Kununurra, WA is long but pretty amazing. I thought I’d start with a quick summary of the adventure:

  1. An early start to go on the sunrise cruise at Nitmiluk (Katherine Gorge).
  2. Headed West towards the WA border.
  3. Stopped at Victoria Crossing roadhouse for fuel.
  4. Drove through Timber Creek.
  5. Crossed the WA/NT border and had our van checked at the quarantine station
  6. Turned off to Lake Argyle and checked out the lookout and shop there.
  7. Got to Kununurra, got a few more groceries, checked into the Hidden Valley caravan park and then went to Miramar National Park to see the striped hive formations there.
  8. Back to the caravan park for dinner and bed.

We covered about 620km’s, so it was a pretty long day, and there isn’t much of anything along the road. The sunrise cruise at Nitmiluk though was fantastic and well worth doing.
