布鲁姆指向萨姆森点–达尔文至珀斯公路旅行第7天

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 … 阅读更多

预订皇家加勒比游轮的 9 个理由——从澳大利亚的角度

Voyager of the Seas at Sydney's Circular Quay

Just before I start this post, I want to make it clear this is not a paid post. I get absolutely nothing from Royal Caribbean whatsoever. The opinions in this blog are my own, from my experience, and the reasons I’ve listed are current as at the time of writing. I can’t guarantee they will always stay the same so you should always do your research. If you find this helpful, though, I’d appreciate it if you share it with anyone else you know who is thinking about booking their next cruise onboard a Royal Caribbean ship.

布鲁姆水平瀑布全日游

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 … 阅读更多

Fitzroy Crossing to Broome via Derby – Darwin to Perth Day 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 … 阅读更多

达尔文至珀斯第2天–凯瑟琳经尼特鲁克至库努纳拉

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:

  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.

达尔文至珀斯公路旅行第0天+达尔文美居机场酒店高级大床房点评

Departing Sydney for Darwin on Our Jetstar Flight.

To begin our Darwin to Perth road trip (and squeeze as much in between work as possible), we got a late night Jetstar flight from Sydney to Darwin. It departed at 9:00 pm and arrived at 1:05 am in the morning. Hence, since it was so late by the time we left and we were able to do a full day at work as normal before our flight, I figure it hardly counts as a day, and so I call it day 0. Being a Jetstar flight it was not super comfortable, but we were able to get a little bit of sleep on the plane at least. Even so, it was pretty tiring, so we were looking forward to getting into a proper bed and sleeping for a few hours.

I have to admit the Darwin airport is bigger than I expected, but given how late we got there, we were eager to get to bed and didn’t spend any more time there than absolutely necessary. We were quickly outside where we were hit by 27°C temperatures and very high humidity. We expected it, but it was still a shock to the system after our highs at home of 22°C and lows of 5°C from the few weeks before the trip.

14天达尔文至珀斯自驾游行程

So, we flew to Darwin, hired a camper van and road tripped to Perth following as close as we could to the coastline within the limitations of the van that required we only use sealed roads with some small exceptions. There are a lot of unsealed roads in the Northern Territory and Western Australia, so there are a lot of places we had to miss, but at the same time, 2 weeks or 14 days is not a huge amount of time to do the road trip in either. We didn’t really have the time to have done any more than we did. Our original itinerary actually did have more in it but we had to revise some parts of it due to time constraints and availability of the Horizontal Falls Tours as well as doing extra things we saw along the way. In fact, if you do your research, a lot of people would recommend taking a lot more time to do this trip than we did. However, if you really want to do it, are used to driving long distances, and are willing to pack as much in as possible, then it is possible to see and do an awful lot. In short, there is a LOT to do, so consider this just a portion of what you could do and see if you really want to push it and pack everything in you can.

需要注意的一点是,这里的大概行驶时间只是开车,不包括沿途的站点或绕道而行。那些增加了更多的时间,有时很多!
