Close to Esperance there are more outstanding beaches and bays to find. Just take the Great Ocean Drive and you will pass West Beach, Blue Haven Beach, Twilight Beach and end at the Observatory Point with a remarkable 360 degree round view. When we started our “Tour de Beach” at the Rotary Lookout there were […]

The beaches in Cape le Grand Nationalpark are so white – they almost look like snow. And the beach at Lucky Bay was officially declared as the whitest beach of Australia. There is a marvelous campground right at the beach, that you better book it in advance as it is almost always full. The reason […]

Denmark, no, not the country in Europe, the city in western Australia is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. One of them is called Green’s Pool and is absolutely stunning. Right next to it is a bay called Elephant Rocks and this name is not an overstatement. The rocks in […]

Albany has a dark past. It used to be one of the biggest whale hunting cities in the world and strangely it is not ashamed of it.

The Busselton Jetty is 1.8km long and would have long fallen apart if not a non-profit community would have turned it into a place with an Underwater Observatory, a train, a museum and much more. We didn’t do any of this but endured a freezing cold evening while taking many beautiful photos in the best […]

The absolute must do when in Perth is Rottnest Island. The most convenient way to reach it is by ferry and the best way to get around is by bike. Out of the three companies Sealink offers the best deal with AUD 80 for a return ticket and bike hire. We took the ferry with […]

Actually Auckland is the most remote city of more than a million inhabitants, but Perth for sure feels more remote. But it is home to two million people and so big, that a bit of orientation is quite helpful. Take a Selfie at the Rainbow Sea Containers Maybe this is not everyone’s taste but in […]

Yanchep NP is probably the only place in Western Australia where you can find Koalas. Unfortunately they are not wild as they have been imported from South Australia. But as they are free from diseases the park authorities are in the process of setting up a breeding program with the goal to release them into […]
