Cape Range National Park…







…what can I say about this place, so far in my travels, this is my favourite place on earth, except for home sweet home (Yallingup/Dunsborough).    Although there’s a few more people than Warroora, I absolutely love the whole entire eco-system here!  At the moment, the turtles are buzzing, breeding, laying eggs, it truly is such a unique place, when we were here in June the whale sharks were on their yearly migration.  Our little rubber duckie boat (Black Mumba) is in the water & ready for action whenever we feel the need, my little hunter gatherer has caught us an abundance of fish, including a 20kg mackeral & a coral trout… needless to say we have been eating very well, the Mackie fed the whole camp here at Osprey Bay! On the boat the other day, in a space of 45 minutes, we saw a Dugong & her calf…WOW!, turtles, 3 whales, manta rays, the offshore reef has so much amazing coral & sea life.  I woke the other morning to see two huge turtles breeding, needless to say, I took a few photographs, they are so huge, they only come in to breed after 2o years, & on another beach further towards Exmouth, there were literally hundreds of turtles swimming up & down the coast, simply beautiful! xxx

Warroora Station…

















…Wow, this place is absolutely stunning, there’s a little something for everyone here!  It’s truly amazing.  White shimmering sand, roaring red cliffs, pristine azure water, sheltered bays, pounding shoring’s, offshore reefs, whales dancing, sharks circling, fish biting, turtles gliding, lazy days on the beach, glassy mornings, windy afternoons, big swells, campfire cookups, star filled nights, & not a soul around.  Mmmm what to do now, snorkel, fish, surf?  I think I might go for a swim & have a little afternoon nap xxx

The Long Road North….







…such a long drive, however, no matter how many times I have travelled this road it never ceases to amaze me.  This is certainly one interesting trek!  Lonely travellers with their dogs as companions; grey nomads taking their time; or young families & couples just simply enjoying life; all are getting out of the matrix whether for a short time or perhaps a rather long time & experiencing this wide expanse of land that I call home.  The road though long, is certainly not boring, the contrasts of colours are wonderful – blood red dirt; pink, purple, white, yellow wild flowers; green lush grasses; bluest of blue open skies; the longest road trains that you will ever see; a vast array of animals including ospreys, wedge tail eagles, emus, kangaroos, sheep, cattle that are as large as our land cruiser (no joke), wild horses, foxes, rabbits, HUGE goannas – there’s also unfortunately way too much road kill!  There’s so much driving plenty of time for thinking, thinking, thinking or perhaps read a book, while the ipod shuffles or listen to a audio book, oh & forgot to mention to take photographs!  Not too much map reading these days, we have recently purchased a Tom Tom, which is perfect for the cities, oh my goodness why did I not get one of these earlier?  Xxx

Bye Bye Home Sweet Home


Well we are finally on the road & have been for a little while, I haven't made any new posts as yet as Internet reception is quite rare where we are.  I edited a photograph of Yallingup, a beautiful sunset picture to remind me of beautiful home on my travels.  Hope you enjoy it to. xxx
