Broome
A delightful start to the day! After a well-deserved early night, I woke early and enjoyed the sunrise. We then enjoyed the Broome Courthouse Markets and a lazy afternoon.
Home to Broome
The day we’ve been eagerly anticipating has finally arrived!! We’ve spent so much time planning this trip, and now we’re finally heading back to the Kimberley in Western Australia.
We fly home
3,850kms travelled, from home to the amazing Red Centre of Australia. Grant and Nick are driving home through outback South Australia. Gill, Alyssa, Matthew and I are flying home from Uluru.
Uluru – Kata Tjuta National Park
A terrific day exploring Kata Tjuta (or The Olgas as they used to be known) – we did the Valley of the Winds Walk, and Walpa Gorge.
Uluru – Kata Tjuta National Park
A fabulous day bike riding around Uluru, followed by sunset drinks and nibbles watching the colours change.
Kings Canyon to Ayers Rock Campground
A couple of beautiful short walks in Watarrka National Park before we continue to our final destination – Uluru Kata Tjuta National Park.
Kings Canyon
A very tiring but amazing day on the Kings Canyon Rim Walk. I think we will all sleep well tonight.
Glen Helen to Kings Canyon
A very fun muddy drive along the Mereenie Loop Road to Kings Canyon. Live music, drinks and canapes watching the sunset over Kings Canyon, followed by an interesting cultural experience.
Glen Helen
A day of enforced rest …
Palm Valley to Glen Helen
We drive through the gorgeous West MacDonnell Ranges to Glen Helen Gorge. On a 39 degree day we enjoy a glorious swim at Ormiston Gorge.
Palm Valley
We spend the day exploring Finke Gorge National Park – simply breathtaking! It’s a hot day but we take it easy and visit Palm Valley and Kalarranga Lookout.
Desert Oaks to Palm Valley
Let the exploring begin! We visit the West MacDonnell Ranges and take the 4WD track into Finke Gorge National Park to camp at Palm Valley.
Coober Pedy to Desert Oaks
The weather heats up and we cross the Northern Territory border. The last of the big drive days 🙂
Gulnare to Coober Pedy
After a chilly start the day warms up quickly. We see rockets and salt lakes, and arrive to the moonscape that is Coober Pedy as the sun sets.
Hay to Gulnare
We travel across multiple borders today, and make it to camp just as the sun is setting. A day of many varied landscapes.
Home to Hay
I’m very excited to be returning to the Red Centre. Such an amazing part of the world. We are travelling with friends, which makes it all the more fun.
