Today we went to the ocean west of Albany (though we’re still staying at the same caravan park tonight).  Our first stop was at Whaling Cove where we did some snorkelling.  There is supposed to be a snorkel trail here, … Continue reading →

We drove about 40 km east of here today to the Two Peoples nature reserve, and stopped at Little Beach.  The beach has beautiful clear turquoise blue water and white sand.  We first snorkelled in a bay to the far … Continue reading →

We drove the rather dull 480 km between Esperance and Albany today.  Except for one stop for fuel, and another for lunch, we just drove.  There really isn’t much to see, except for huge storage areas where the farmers deliver … Continue reading →

Yesterday, March 5, we travelled northwest to Port Augusta.  It’s the fourth time we’ve been through the town.  It’s hard to go across Australia without going through there, as it is the hub that connects major highways from all four … Continue reading →

We left Halls Gap this morning after being rousted out of bed earlier than we really needed to awake by the very loud laughter of a flock of kookaburras.  I cooked oatmeal for breakfast today as the cereal we have turns out to have … Continue reading →
