Well we made it to Geraldton and to the car dealer. Thankfully they could order the LAST one in WA, but we had to wait until the following day, so we stayed the night in Batavia Coast Caravan Park. Just lazed around for the day enjoy the sunshine. Went for a drink in an Irish Bar with Davie & Kim - little did we know closing time was 10pm!! ...

a trip into town and we expect to bump into Marty Mcfly. this place must have been the location of a film set and they just forgot to take the props away afterwards - it's wacky! about the size of Dover and with some other similarities Geraldton has the port, the empty shops , the charity shops and 2 dollar cheapjack shops just like home! it eve...

Here we go here we go here we go Still on the coast road we see more terrific landscapes and the open spaces are every bit as vast as we were expecting. There are fields here that remind us of Kent as well as the blue blue ocean and sand dunes that we've already become accustomed to- less oohs and aahs now. We hope to see our first live kangaroo...

Nach einigem Suchen haben wir dann jemanden gefunden der uns sagte die Tour beginne ers...

GERALDTON (5 January 2007-7 January 2007) We decide to take the Coastal route and head to the coastal towns on the way to Geraldton. We visit Lucky Bay and the "Pink Lake" and Port Gregory. Greg is quite chuffed that a town is named after him. Most of these towns appeal to the fishing enthusiast. As soon as we approach the main district of Geral...

Big drive today, two people on a mission, stand back Kangaroos, possums, here we go. a whole day driving and arrived in Geraldton at 5pm, headed straight to the port as David and I were desperate to buy lobster and cook it on our BBQ. We found this huge fishermans dock with scary fishermen outside drinking beer and smelling fishy,,,, funnily eno...

This Week on the Wallaby - the Coral Coast to the Batavia Coast We hadn't seen the coast for about four days, so the return to the sea breezes was warmly anticipated. By the time we got to Exmouth, however, the sea breezes had grown into a strong wind warning for NW Cape (our part of the coast) and "warm" was definitely not the appropriate adjec...
