Western Australia – Still As Life

Three Days In Perth Itinerary

June 15, 2023June 14, 2023 by Matt

Getting to Perth Perth is isolated from the rest of Australia so the easiest way to get there is to fly. You can get there by train on the Indian Pacific, but it’s not cheap. If you choose to drive, be aware it is a long drive, almost 4,000 km’s from Sydney and not a … Read more

Exmouth to Carnarvon Via Coral Bay – Darwin to Perth Day 10 (Updated 2019)

November 24, 2019November 20, 2019 by Matt

We had a little bit of a sleep-in this morning before heading back towards Ningaloo National Park after breakfast. We only had 363 km’s to cover on day 10 to get down to Carnarvon, but we needed time to spend snorkelling at Coral Bay. There was more to see around Exmouth though, so we spent a little bit of time in the morning seeing the other sights around Exmouth before heading down to Coral Bay.

Carnarvon to Monkey Mia via the Quobba Blow Holes – Darwin to Perth Day 11

November 10, 2018November 10, 2018 by Matt

On day 11 we had to backtrack just a little to go see the Quobba Blow Holes since we came through too late the day before to see them on the way. It’s about 70km’s or 50 minutes drive from the Wintersun Tourist Park back up to the blowholes, making it a two hour round trip by the time we got out, looked around and took some photos.

It was lovely to wake up just after sunrise and hear the sound of the waves crashing on the rocks right next to the [eafl id=”4309″ name=”Big4 Dongara Denison Beach Holiday Park” text=”Dongara Denison Big4 Caravan Park”]. We wandered out to the beach just after sunrise, before most people were up, and the footpath along … Read more

Kalbarri to Dongara / Port Denison via Hutt River Province – Darwin to Perth Day 13

December 22, 2019October 22, 2017 by Matt

Kalbarri itself is a beautiful little town, with white sandy beaches and a plethora of stunning scenery nearby. After leaving the Murchison River Caravan Park where we spent the night, our first stop was just across the road to see the beach. Kalbarri is located at the mouth of the Murchison River, and the town … Read more

Monkey Mia to Kalbarri – Darwin to Perth Day 12

September 10, 2017 by Matt

The further south we travel the more touristy it becomes, but that certainly doesn’t detract from it. Monkey Mia is known for its wild dolphins, and within Monkey Mia itself, there is just one place to stay, the RAC Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort.

Exmouth and Ningaloo National Park – Darwin to Perth Day 9

June 30, 2017May 28, 2017 by Matt

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.

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.

Horizontal Falls Full Day Tour From Broome

November 4, 2022March 5, 2017 by Matt

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 … Read more
