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 […]
Gibb River Road Gorges
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 […]
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 […]
Kings Canyon, Palm Valley and Hermansburg
Kings Canyon is a gorge a few hundred kilometers from Uluru that we didn’t get to see last time we traveled through. Actually we missed a whole chunk of spots in the […]
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 […]
More Warren River Trout
There’s no better way to cement our trout fishing prowess then to immediately follow up our first ever trout success with another successful trout fishing mission. This time round Mal, Hong and […]
Warren River First Trout!
After years of demoralising failure, finally, Hong and I have caught our first trout! And what a feeling! No longer are we taunted by this long running black mark hanging over our […]
Wrights Bridge Camp
For the Anzac day long weekend we headed down to an old favourite campsite of ours with some friends – Wrights Bridge camping area on the Blackwood River. It’s a picturesque spot […]
