And we were on the road again. This time the wind blew us to Kalbarri National Park – home to spectacular Kalbarri cliffs and Kalbarri gorges. However before we got there, we stopped at Hamelin Pool – a place known for two things: Old Telegraph Station and Hamelin Pool Stromatolites. Old Telegraph Station Old Telegraph…
We decided to stop at Nanga Bay Station Resort as it was a perfect base for us to visit Shell Beach that is a part of the Shark Bay World Heritage area. How do you get to Shell Beach? Shell Beach is located in the Shark Bay World Heritage Area in Western Australia. It can…
Next day we drove through the flat, monotonous landscape to our next destination – Denham and Monkey Mia. While driving 350 km to Denham, we missed trees again as it was only grass and more grass around us. The landscape only changed and became more interesting after we entered the Francois Peron Peninsula. In general the…
After driving another 240 kilometers south, we arrived at the larger coastal town of Carnarvon. It sits at the mouth of the Gascoyne River and overlooks the Indian Ocean, renowned for its one-mile-long jetty. With a population of 4,500, it’s a popular pit stop for tourists who want to do some last-minute shopping before heading…
The drive from Exmouth to Coral Bay was only 150 km, but it gave us an opportunity to observe the dry landscape of Western Australia’s northern region.

Despite car technical issues we decided to drive inland to explore Karijini National Park. The bitumen road was picturesque but more often flat and boring. We drove 330 km in total emptiness with no trees, mountains or even small hills. Just grass, only grass. Dales Campground – Eastern Karijini National Park Further inland it was very…
It was a three-hour drive from Port Smith to our long-awaited destination, 80 Mile Beach. We stopped at the only camping place called Eighty Mile Beach Caravan Park, located just 50 meters from the beach. Beach camping? Great! The most unique feature of 80 Mile Beach was the huge shells we were able to collect….

We had a long list of places to visit: ‘Staircase to the moon’, Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Park, camels on famous Cable Beach, Chinatown and its pearling story, Matso’s Brewery and…
