Yeagarup is famous for being the place where I lost my camera a few years ago. This time I was more careful, making sure I came home with evidence of the copious […]
Yeagarup Beach Camp
Salmon Fishing Camps
Our trip across the Nullarbor to South Australia and Melbourne is over and we’re back home. Now what? Rat race? No way. How about fixing the house up interspersed with camping trips and […]
From the Nullarbor back Home
By the time we hit Ceduna Sharni was practically crowning and ready to bust out our second kid. She was ready to go home so it was a fairly swift trip across […]
Nullarbor, Twilight Cove and Eyre Bird Observatory
From Perth we embarked on our adventure, first stopping in Merredin for a night, then a few days in Kalgoorlie visiting family. Brimming with fuel, water and food ready for our cross […]
Salmon Fishing Camp
Would you believe this salmon fishing trip is the first time I haven’t caught a salmon on a salmon fishing trip since 1963. You probably wouldn’t believe it, not if you knew […]
Karratha to Carnarvon
By the time we made it to the coral coast region of Western Australia it was already getting too hot and windy. We spent too long around Gibb River Road and Cape […]
Port Hedland, Roebourne, Wickham
After 80 Mile Beach I met up with an old mate working FIFO in Port Hedland. I call him ol’ mate, also known as Hong, and he has made many appearances on […]
80 mile beach

Cape Leveque

Cape Leveque West Coast
The west coast of Cape Leveque has some good free camping spots, nice beaches and some fishing. No facilities, all bush camping. I was hoping to land many threadfin salmon, especially since […]
Broome
I’ve been thinking about returning to Broome since having a short holiday there in 2003. I remember cable beach being awesome and the weather perfect. I didn’t have a 4WD then and […]
Telegraph Pool and Broome Repairs
Telegraph pool is on the Fitzroy River and was recommended as a top barra spot. On the way there we stopped at the Willare Roadhouse for some locally grown steak. It’s on […]
Derby
We survived the Gibb and made it to Derby but not without battle scars. The grinding noise has gotten worse and is now quite a chunky creak that I can really feel […]
Windjana Gorge and Tunnel Creek
The hilux has a problem that appeared on the way out of Bell Gorge. There’s an intermittent grinding noise and I have to turn the steering wheel off centre to drive straight. […]
Gibb River Road Gorges
The Gibb River Road gorge action ramps up heading west from the Kalumburu turnoff. We visited Barnett Gorge, Manning Gorge, Adcock Gorge, Galvin Gorge and Bell Gorge. They’re all unique and the […]
