Coral Beach is a popular holiday spot on the West coast of Australia. It is located right in front of the Ningaloo Reef. Coral Bay is a special place in that the reef is just right at the water’s edge, making it easy to go snorkeling. We came here for a boating trip along the…

Monkey Mia to Carnavon
Today we started early with a gorgeous sunrise at Monkey Mia. While hubby was taking a shower, I got to see the first dolphins who were eagerly waiting to be fed. But it took too long for them, so they returned to the Indian Ocean and a new star showed up stealing the show: a…
Francois Perron National Park
Originally we had hired a regular car for our trip. But our destination for today, Francois Perron National Park, is only accessible to all terrain vehicles. We therefore decided to book a tour with naturetimetours.com to enter the park. Turned out to be a fantastic decision anyway. We could have driven into the park by…
Monkey Mia
After leaving Kalbarri town we headed to Hawks Head in Kalbarri National Park. We arrived at the right time, it was absolut quiet and you could hear nothing but bird song and the rushing of a waterfall in the distance. This country really makes you breath more calmly and slows you down, it’s so relaxing….
Kalbarri National Park
We started the day with a visit to the Kalbarri Sky Walk in Kalbarri National Park. The impressive structure blends extremely well into its surroundings while providing visitors with a stunning view of the Murchison River. From the Skywalk we drove just a few minutes to Nature‘s window, a whole in the rock framing a…

Perth to Cervantes
Germany to Australia is quite a trip. We left on Monday night and after two nights on the plane and an afternoon spent in Singapore airport we arrived in Perth at 4 o’clock in the morning. We were exhausted but also thrilled to start exploring. When we initially planned the itinerary for our road trip…
Looking back
Back home we are still dreaming about Australia’s vast and empty landscapes, about it’s oceans and forests, about it’s vibrant cities and very special wildlife. In conversation we still walk the beaches and watch the sites. When we initially planned the trip we said to ourselves we’d do a trip to Australia once in a…
Travel organization
These are a few things that we would do differently next time or wished we had known beforehand: Take less clothes: It’s always the same you take too much stuff (or at least I do). But as we traveled from cold Sydney to warm Alice Springs to hot and humid Darwin/ Cairns we needed everything from…
Flying back home
On our last day in Australia we woke up to this view over the city of Brisbane: Unfortunately we did not have much time anymore. After breakfast we drove directly to the airport, returned the rental car and checked in. Flying out of Brisbane I managed to take a photo of the river from above…
