King Edward River camping area is close to the intersection of Kalumburu Road and Mitchell Falls Road. There’s some well preserved aboriginal rock art in the area which we checked out. It’s […]
King Edward River and Kalumburu
Mitchell Falls to Port Warrender
Kalumburu Road and Mitchell Falls Road I think have the biggest and best corrugations we’ve ever seen. There’s something about the type of material and size distribution of the gravel surface that […]
Gibb River Road
Having visited El Questro, we’d already started the Gibb River Road on the previous post. But that bit was all bitumen. Now the ass pounding corrugations start. For years we’d heard of […]
El Questro
I always thought El Questro was just some fancy accommodation that people with a serious cases of status anxiety squandered thousands of dollars a night on. I was only partly correct. It’s […]
Cape Domett
Some bloke at the cafe in Wyndham told us Cape Domett is an awesome fishing spot. He didn’t really explain that local knowledge is necessary to navigate there. The tracks didn’t match […]
Lake Argyle
Catching massive barra is physically demanding. Time for some relaxation around Lake Argyle. Highlights include an interesting boat tour around the lake, the fancy swimming pool at the caravan park, and enjoying […]
Big Ord River Barra
We all know catching big barra is pretty manly and tough but what about when the barra is so big it’s illegal to keep? That’s what happened at Ivanhoe crossing on the […]
Kununurra and Wyndham
From the Bungle Bungles we headed into Kununurra – our first major centre since Alice Springs a couple of weeks before. We were in need of a big shop and enjoyed relaxing at […]
Halls Creek and Bungle Bungles / Purnululu
Out of the desert and into the Kimberley region where we look forward to less dust and more fishing and swimming. We’ll be catching barramundi soon enough. The Tanami Track finishes just […]
Tanami Road
The Tanami Road starts as a nice bitumen road just north of Alice Springs but quickly turns into a typical dusty and corrugated outback track. There’s not much to see over its […]
Back On The Road
Apart from the occasional short trip out of Perth, recently we’ve had a serious shortage of camping missions and outback exploring. The blame lies solely with our participation in the rat race. […]
Free Food Salmon Camp
Not happy with our $15 food spend from a salmon fishing trip of a couple years ago, this time we decided to go completely free. For this camping mission all food was […]
Anzac Day Salmon Mission
Wow it’s been over a year already since our last long weekend salmon hunt. This year, instead of Easter, we headed down for the Anzac Day long weekend. There are many things different between […]
Peak Beard at Wilbinga Camp
Just as I was starting to push through the itchy phase, sadly, a stern order was issued: the beard must go. What a tragedy it would be to have the beard removed […]
Lane Poole – First Redfin
A couple of nights camping mission at Lane Poole with Mum and Nonna saw me land my first redfin perch! This perfectly complements my recent freshwater success with trout. I caught two […]
