Carnarvon = another massive town on our map - the second town to get the lofty status of capitalised print. There was absolutely nothing to see or do here particularly as it was Sunday. The supermarket was our only source of entertainment. Even the local radio station was stuck for inspiration by advertising for 'bananas'. No particular bananas ...

Well, well, well, what can we say about Carnarvon. O the work was plenty and the seagulls followed us everywhere!! We ended up sending almost 5 weeks in Carnarvon. First few days were lovely, just chilling out enjoying the sunshine, but we had to go about looking for some work to get us that 2nd year visa. Bry was the first to get a job, he was ...

Crossing over The Tropic of Capricorn on the way, we drove 5 hours South and arrived in Carnarvon, by the time we arrived, Carnarvon was already on Blue Alert cyclone watch.....the Cyclone seemed to be following us....... Blue Alert, then Yellow and finally Red alert....in case you ever need to know.... Blue Alert meant you had to start preparat...

The last place we saw when on the road out of Denham was shell beach, a horseshoe beach mad up, not of horse shoes, but of small shells, almost all of which were undamaged. The beach had large undulations so it was easy to see that in most places it was metres thick. There must have been billions of shells. Horseshoes would have been even more a...

I've booked and paid for my airfare to Central America and pretty happy with the deal I got. In the end, I found that it will be cheaper to travel to Los Angeles from Perth via Singapore (instead of Sydney/Melbourne). To get from Perth to Central America, this is what I'm doing (all figures include taxes): Perth to Singapore with Tiger Airways, ...

A stopover site on our way up to Ningaloo Reef. Nothing much to report other than our when driving inland yesterday the thermometer was displaying 50 degrees and that was outside. Give or take a few degrees for it being a cheap inaccurate thermometer it was still bloody hot. The air conditioning couldn't cope and we were still sweating. It is th...

CARNARVON (9 December 2006 to 20 December 2006) We left Peter and Andrea at Coral Bay and headed to Carnarvon in search of food, Christmas supplies and presents, mail and many errands. The warm winters and hot summers that Carnarvon enjoys allow for immense tropical fruit growing, primarily bananas, and mangos on the flats of the Gascoyne River....

We arrived in Carnarvon by midday and booked into a caravan park for the night... tomorrow will be our first day as WWOOFers... Last week we joined 'WWOOF'.... Willing Workers On Organic Farms.... so we are now WWOOFers! You work as volunteers, and in return you get fed and have a place to stay for free... cool stuff! The families house is right...

Road Trip 2006 I HIRED A CARAVAN! OK, not strictly true, for it was in fact a campervan but for a self confessed petrol-head there can be no greater humiliation. Worse still, it was a diesel. Walking was a high adrenaline experience compared to driving this thing. Anyway, the grand plan involved driving from Perth to Darwin, avoiding cyclones an...
