Our Trip To the Top End

22 July Today was the final day of our Kimberley adventure. Sleeping in a proper bed and enjoying a long shower was well deserved. We flew home in the afternoon after a farewell lunch with Geri and Michael, who would continue their caravan journey around Australia. Below is a map Continue Reading

21 July Today we drove the final 400 km back to Broome. Saying goodbye is always difficult, but we have made many new friends, and we could not have been in better hands than with Kaz and Jimmy. They did not just drive us 2,900 km over treacherous roads. They Continue Reading

20-July Today we started our drive back to Broome, we will make a few stops along the way but no more hikes of importance. We will be covering roughly 400 km, but all over decent roads. Our first quick stop was in Halls Creek, not much of a village but Continue Reading

20-July The Kimberley is home to some of the oldest rocks on Earth, with parts of the landscape dating back almost two billion years.
