you can’t visit north queensland without seeing the great barrier reef, just as you can’t go to the north west and not see ningaloo. the two reefs are actually quite different: ningaloo is a fringing reef, meaning it hugs the shore, while the great barrier reef is a few kilometers out to sea. the water…
as we said goodbye to pinnarendi (best station stay ever) we were mostly concerned about the home-made lasagna made from home-made pasta we missed out on. we’ve seen a few black cockatoos on the way but never had a chance to take a decent picture. the one below isn’t too good either but probably the…
let’s get the most important thing out of the way first: we have the biggest, yes, the biggest lava tubes in the world. we know there are those failing, disengaged people out there who would want to make you think otherwise but that’s just the typical fake news. sad. for a country that has been…
it sounds so wasteful it’s almost ridiculous, right? we really have not seen anything like this for a few months, since our trip to the cape range (exmouth) actually. that’s exactly the other side of the country. literally. it came as a bit of a shock today to see the windscreen wipers turn on. it’s…

i did mention yesterday that we decided to take the chicken option: the long way on the smooth tarmac. as expected there was not too much excitement, except maybe for natalie who found another snake to pat at the little roper homestead. unfortunately for her she then had to use the 8 hours in the…
we spoke to some more people and the consensus is that the road between domagee and borroloola is not too good. we therefore decided to take the long way round: we’ll go south between the tanami desert and the barkly ranges, then turn east at three ways and hope to get to the barky roadhouse…
