Heading north west from Kununurra we drove toward the small township of Wyndham for a day trip. First though, a little detour en route took us to The Grotto, a pretty gorge reached by descending 140 steps with no safety rail for the faint hearted 😜 Wyndham was established in...

We had arranged to meet with John and Steph at a free camp known as Ellendale Lagoon, situated on a private cattle station and a couple of hours drive south east from Derby. It was a very picturesque spot and by lunch time we were parked at water's edge next...

We had originally booked a week in Broome but scrolling through tourist brochures that I had picked up in caravan park laundrys along the way, I had begun to think that wasn't going to be enough. Subsequently we had rung and extended by a couple of nights and I was...

Our last day at Karijini and I was determined to get wet today despite there being no other willing particpants in our group 😉 We planned to tackle Dale's Gorge, the one our campground was named after, the closest to us and home of the famous Fern Pool and Fortescue...

Leaving the coast behind, today we entered the Pilbara, en route to Karijini National Park which seemed to be on everyone's "must see in WA" list. To break up the journey from Exmouth we had overnighted in a free camp and then along the way caught up with a familiar...

On our way out of Shark Bay we made a brief stop at Shell Beach - a beach made entirely of tiny fragments of the Fragum cockle - conditions here render the water twice as saline as the sea and this is the only organism that thrives here with no...

We knew the great weather couldn't last forever and as we left Augusta to continue northwards rain hit with a vengeance. The little town of Cowaramup which had looked cute when we had passed through previously was still worth exploring but more than a little damp. The highlight (apart from...

The drive up to the burbs was uneventful and we checked in to our rather 'cosy' spot in Coogee Beach mid afternoon after stopping for lunch in Bunbury en route. The CP was in a great location and we explored the nearby marina and then watched the fisherman down on...

With Easter coming up fast we belatedly began searching for a ‘home’ for this busy weekend and eventually locked in Bushlands Holiday Village in Esperance. Not the fanciest and with questionable Telstra reception and internet but with ‘large sites and friendly managers.’ This left us with two nights to kill...

Hello friends! Red and Rusty are on the road again, this time chasing the setting sun toward Western Australia with our fellow motorhoming friends, John and Steph. So far en route we have stayed at some familiar spots including Port Augusta, the great free camp at Wudinna, Ceduna and our...

For the next two nights we would be based about 20 kms south of Denali National Park and Preserve. I had done a lot of research about Denali (previously Mt. McKinley National Park) which is six million acres of wild country, inclusive of Mt. Denali (more about that later) and...

Leaving Matanuska Glacier we had a long drive to Fairbanks which would be the most northerly point on the itinerary. For the most part we had the road and its stunning scenery to ourselves.   Fairbanks is Alaska's second largest city and the coldest city in the US. It is...

Our path south took us along the Turnagain Arm again where the tide was perhaps not as low as we had seen previously but conditions were not optimal for a tidal bore either. High tide or not it was a spectacular drive and we decided to capitalise on the (relatively)...
