we have stayed in and around exmouth for a while now and there is a good reason for this. of all the amazing places in australia this part has always been one of my absolute favourites. exmouth is located near the tip of a peninsula, with the exmouth gulf on one side and ningaloo on…
finally the exams are out fo the way and i can focus on a little bit of tinkering instead. this is an accumulator tank. it’s small but it has a secret hidden inside: a bladder filled with air. the tank fills until the pressure is equalized. conversely when a tap is opened the bladder empties…
more fun with technology. this time i used the phone to take a time lapse series of us packing up the caravan. i don’t think i got the settings quite right, it’s a bit too fast. anyway, this is what it takes to pack everything up and fold down the van. about 30 minutes, comfortably.…
we’ve been a little preoccupied lately and have not been able to enjoy ningaloo as much as we would have wanted to. the weather has not been perfect either. it stopped raining quickly after the post last time, it really was only wet for one night. but we had some strong winds which churned up…

the pilbara is an amazing place with stunning views; have you seen my tiny planet, i think that captures the landscape so well? the true wealth of the pilbara, however, lies under the surface. that goes for the iron ore that is mined here, and for which the pilbara is probably best known, but it…
we’ve been in the dales camp in karijini national park for a few days which is an overall amazing place but sadly for us internet addict doesn’t have mobile coverage. not a huge problem, but it kept us from updating the site. we’re back in tom price now for a night to get our windscreen…
i’m beginning to think that somehow our trip through beautiful western australia is cursed. we had hardly crossed the w.a. border when our alternator decided to call it quits. we’d just made it past geraldton when the gearbox figured it was time for someone else to do all the heavy towing. and finally, on the…
