Sunrise – Still As Life

Point Samson to Exmouth via Karratha and Dampier – Darwin to Perth Day 8

As I’m sure you know by now, we’ve been waking up quite early, and today was no exception.

Sunrise from our camper van at Point Samson

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.

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 … Read more

A Full Day in Broome Itinerary – Darwin to Perth Day 5

Day 5 was a welcome change. After 5 days of driving long distances, it was nice to spend the entire day just in Broome exploring the sights there. We got to watch the sunrise over Roebuck Bay looking back towards the West Australian coast.

Driving between Katherine NT and Kununurra WA

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:

An early start to go on the sunrise cruise at Nitmiluk (Katherine Gorge).
Headed West towards the WA border.
Stopped at Victoria Crossing roadhouse for fuel.
Drove through Timber Creek.
Crossed the WA/NT border and had our van checked at the quarantine station
Turned off to Lake Argyle and checked out the lookout and shop there.
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.
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.
