Mackerel Motel Onslow

We met some folks the other day who said they thought we were incredibly brave spending all this time travelling together having just got married! Several others have probably thought the same but boy, has it been great. We are some of the lucky few newlyweds who get the time to lay the foundations for their life together,discussing shared values, visions, aspirations, goals, role expectations, etc. Gerald and Lina would be so proud of us! Have there been any falling outs yet? |Have we ...

After a long drive and a brief stop in Exmouth to buy snorkelling equipment (we were intending on doing a lot over the next few days), we arrived in Cape Range National Park, from where you can see the Ningaloo Reef. Our campsite was small and friendly with its only facilities being a pit toilet.

The area was all we had expected and more – beautiful white sandy beaches, turquoise sea, abundant wildlife, sunny weather and of course, the reef. We rushed straight to ...

Overnight stay at a road side stop on the 31st October full moon (halloween) anyway not a problem great stop for sleep.
As we entered into the road that takes you to Exmouth, I found the place to not have alot of trees in fact it is rather barron. There are the shrubs and small trees but nothing really. Many animals spotted along the way into Exmouth - Emus, goats, sheep, kangaroos, horses, cows a lizard, hawks, Eagles. We arrived at Exmouth and there is a estate getting built ...

Exmouth and cape range national park felt like a short drive at 150km ish north. While there is not a whole pile going on in Exmouth itself it is the gateway to the national park and I was able to check out the historic Vlahming head lighthouse on route to the park. The park has pristine beaches including Turquoise bay which is brilliant for snorkeling. I had only put ...

Ningaloo Reef has been an absolute highlite for us. We are both from the Ocean now doubt, and Oscar loves the water just as much as we do; Snorkeling, Fishing, Whale watching and even a little surf. Suprised we left? well it is 40 degrees every day til march! And we have no AC in the tent.

It seems to me that one of the fundamentals of the couch surfing experience is that you never leave when you say you’re going to - you’re having too much fun. We had intended to leave on Monday but instead we spent the day at gorgeous Bundegi Beach and the evening making pizzas with Zach at the community house.

The following day we were ready to leave, in our very own Wicked Campervan. For those ...

Exmouth is literally an oasis in the desert. Tiny little main street and mall area, but loads of atmosphere. Spent the first night at the Big4 next to a bunch of drunks on a boys holiday. Gross. Left the next morning destination Cape Range National Park/Ningaloo Reef Marine Park. This is a truly unique environment, the desert landscape meets the turquoise blue ocean where the coral and ...

I've been thinking for a while that I should write an occasional series about some of the strange folk that I've met on my travels. The first strange one was a 20 year old English girl I met in Singapore. We went out for a drink with about 5 other girls, which was really nice. We had cocktails at the bar on top of the tallest building in Singapore (72 storeys) (it was happy hour!). She said that she was vegetarian, and I asked her what ...

I cannot believe that it has already been 10 days since I arrived here. The family are really busy looking after tourists who come here to camp or for afternoon tea or to stay in the homestead or whatever! They have all been really welcoming and I am enjoying my time here a lot. Typical day goes as follows: 7am Get up, shower, grab brekkie 8am Start school with the 2 girls, Indya and Georgia doing various bits of ...
