Covid Lockdown @ Eighty Mile Beach Part 2
Welcome back to our Covid adventure at 80ty mile beach! This time we got a quad and that changed everything! The very first morning back at Eighty Mile Beach we took the quad for a spin at the beach. We crossed the inlet we fished at on our first week here and explored the sand […]
COVID lockdown at Eighty Mile Beach
Yes, our COVID lockdown adventure continues! Usually made it back to Eighty Mile Beach in time with sunset. While my partner was at work I settled into a daily routine. Every morning I’d go for a walk and gym at the beach and on the way back I’d always collect all the plastic rubbish I […]
COVID lockdown countdown
Welcome back! The last blog was just before the lockdown, so I decided to tell you about our adventure when the lockdown actually happened 😉 In Perth I picked up my partner from the airport and we spent a few days preparing for the looming lockdown. Sure enough, only a few days later they […]
Avon Valley
In March 2020, when Europe was already overrun by COVID, it only just started in Western Australia. Amid all the news, which I was blissfully unaware of, I was enjoying myself exploring the Avon Valley. The Avon Valley National Park itself was closed due to pest control, so I visited the greater Avon Valley region […]
Dundee Beach
Dundee Beach lies on the west coast of the Top End, about 136km southwest from our home in Darwin. We tried to catch bait – Garfish are meant to be the best for sailfish – but didn’t have any luck so we had to buy some. We also designed our own ‘witch doctor’, another teaser […]
Leaders Creek
After four months in Darwin, we finally figured out at which water level the boat ramp at Buffalo Creek is best to use. (No, haven’t mixed up the creeks 😉 I just wanted to include the Buffalo Creek experience in the same blog.) Buffalo Creek boat ramp can be tricky. If there is less than […]
Cape to Cape
In 2019 we conquered the Cape to Cape track. The hardest part was to find the time to do it and the logistics of being dropped off and picked up. It was a great experience on this awesome multiday hike with stunning views, wildlife and ever changing weather. Shortly after the start point you come […]
Perth – Cervantes by push bike
I was always undecided what to think about the cyclists riding around Australia or even through the red centre. Some days I was amazed by the determination, other days I questioned their sanity. I decided I had to give it a go myself to be allowed to judge. Since I wasn’t planning to circumnavigate the […]
4WD Adventure – Esperance to Israelite Bay
In 2023 my dad visited us from Switzerland and amongst all the trips we took him on, one was the 4WD adventure along the coast from Esperance to Israelite Bay. I haven’t done the whole stretch, and my partner did it decades ago, so it was good fun for all of us. We started off […]
Karijini National Park
The first time I visited the Karijini National Park was in December 2017 while I was travelling Western Australia as part of my around the world trip. I fell in love with it right away and couldn’t stay away when I got back to Australia in 2019. In 2020 I visited three times, but I […]
