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.

Jetty and Possums

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.

Because we knew that it gets rather hot on the Loop Walk in Kalbarri NP and that this could become quite dangerous, we got up at 5.30am to start the walk shortly before 7am. We also carried seven liters of waters as this was the recommendation by the park authorities. In the end it happened […]
