Nachdem wir Wesley im Hostel abgeliefert hatten begaben wir uns auf den weiten Weg nach Albany, da die Wettervorhersage fuer die naechsten Tage hier auch nur Regen prognostizierte und die ganze Sache in Albany bersser aussehen sollte.
Wir fuhren in Esperance um etwa 18 Uhr ab ... und hatten nun noch 450 Km vor uns ...
gegen Mitternacht …

EXPLORING THE SOUTH COAST

JOURNEY: Esperance, Stokes Inlet NP, Ravensthorpe, Hopetoun, Bremer Bay, Albany- 785kms

As we drove from Esperance to Stokes Inlet NP, the temperature reached 45 degrees. We met the camp hosts at the camp ground and found ourselves a sheltered site by the inlet. The clouds rolled in and the wind picked up and by 5pm the cool change moved …

There's no place like (someone else's) home!

“Good bye,” Stirling Ranges, and “Hello,” Albany. This town has so much going for it … decent size (roughly 30,000) but not too big [as their brochure trumpets: “where urban sophistication and natural beauty combine” ... so there, by golly!]; more history than you can poke a stick at [and some of it not …

Albany – Stunning cliff drops, jagged rocks

5 hours on the road heading east from Margaret River and we arrive at the town of Albany, but not before a stop at the Giant Tree Top Walk just 45 minutes outside of the town. Similar to the Otways on the Great Ocean Road, you can experience the forest from 40 meters above the ground on a series of steel beam walkways and bridges, not for those …

Trees and views

I followed the south coast and headed for Pemberton home of giant Karri forests and the glouster national park. The park fees are a pain in the ass when you are on your own but the climb to the top of a 60 meter Karri tree called the Glouster tree was brillant. These massive trees in the park used to serve as fire lookout posts. One slip though and …

Grandma Bonding 101

Whilst in Perth, I haven't really been in Perth, if you know what I mean. Quite peculiar. Entry soon, hopefully, if I muster up the courage to defeat the mountainous pile of entries I haven't had the time or energy to complete …

Posh Road Trip South West

The drive to Albany was even more beutiful. The road weaved through forests of tall trees. They were so tall. We stopped off and did the Famous TReetop walk. Where you're walking on a suspended bridge way up in the trees. It was lovely. We also visited the Parrot Jungle where Kate made a new friend Oscar that stayed on her shoulder the whole way …

Climbing Bluff Knoll, WA

I met a very nice New Zealand couple who invited me to come and see them when and if I ever get there. The backpackers ran off the Aeroplan letter for me and I taped the boarding cards to paper; went to the post office to mail it; had to go over to the library to run it off and wait for an elderly lady to run off dozens of copies of a Christmas …

Albany and Denmark

We left the caravan park and headed for Albany Town.... We visited loads of places today; The Gap, The Natrual Bridge, The Blowholes.... We event went up Mt Melville and went to the 360 digree viewing tower - excellent views of the town and sea! In Albany they have a rock which is in the shape of a Dogs Face - they have made a massive deal out of …

Albany

Wake up to grey skies this morning, but at least it wasn't raining. We didn't get up til around 7.30. In the washroom met up with a woman who said that one should get to the Tree Jop Walk as early as possible, to be there before the tour buses. We left the caravan park about 8.40, but stopped at the Giant Jingle Tree on the way to the Tree Jop Walk …
