Well we have officially done 12 months on the road (as of Monday) so we wanted to do a collection of pictures that capture the many amazing experiences we have had, and the wonderful memories we have made, on our trip. We whittled it down to around 100 pics - this is the first post of 3 (the other two will be posted in the next few days).
 |
| Frolicking nude in a freshwater stream on the Gibb River Rd. |
 |
| Watching the sunset from the cliffs near Kalbarri with Uncle Damo |
 |
| A cliff top sunset cheese platter with some of the great friends we made, Matt & Jenny, Megan & Reid and their kids. |
 |
| Going down some very tight tracks to get to amazing spots - this one was at Sandy Cape. |
 |
| The full moon lighting up the sky near Rocky Pool. |
 |
| The power of the ocean - waves crashing near Kalbarri. |
 |
| Our bush Christmas was wonderful. |
 |
| A boat at low tide at Streaky Bay, the sunset gave the shallow water an amazing colour. |
 |
| Our funniest photo. After crashing while sandboarding, we made him wait to get cleaned up whilst I got the camera! |
 |
| Boats for hire at Kalbarri. West coast sunsets are divine. |
 |
| The kids had such fun with their friends under this 'cubby' tree at Sandy Cape. |
 |
| Even in the bush we still managed glazed ham and bacon covered turkey for Christmas dinner. |
 |
| Tiny shells make up the gorgeous Shell Beach near Shark Bay. |
 |
| Sunset Cruise (with Wolf Man) on the majestic Lake Argyle - what a great night with our friends James & Emily. |
 |
| Dawn at Port Julia - I snuck away to take photos whilst everyone slept. |
 |
| We have enjoyed all of our visitors, the kids loved jumping all over Uncle Damo. |
 |
| Emilia and Lily, the daughter of some great friends we made, Ali & Pat. |
 |
| Cape Adieu, just before the Nullabour. Great fishing and totally secluded. |
 |
| Emilia's 4th Birthday. A wonderful night at Finn's Fish BBQ in Kalbarri. Our princess rode her bike home in a storm in her party dress as we got caught on the other side of town when the rain started. |
 |
| Beachcombing at Barn Hill. |
 |
| The Boab trees in the Kimberley are so huge and impressive looking. |
 |
| The Great Australian Bight. |
 |
| Our Gibb River Rd Adventure was certainly a highlight of our trip. |
 |
| Jackson is always so determined that he can do as much as everyone else! |
 |
| The bright sun reflected on Lake Argyle |
 |
| We love exploring rocky coastlines. These are some rocks near Kalbarri that we sat on to watch the sunset. |
 |
| Taking Jackson out to see the falls at Bell's Gorge as the water was freezing and very deep. |
 |
| 'What No Camping sign?' Camping on the edge of the Great Australian Bight - the wind got a bit wild at night! |
 |
| Nature's Window near Kalbarri - also the beginning of the fly plague (notice our attractive fly nets). The flies were certainly memorable though not in a good way. |
 |
| Getting into WA required a very thorough (hour long) search of the van and car for any hidden fruit and veg! |
 |
| Jackson's first hair cut on the road, he actually let Daniel do it with the clippers. |
 |
| Manning River, we certainly didn't tire of the pristine fresh water rivers in the Kimberley. |
 |
| This is what occurs when you let two 12 year old girls do your makeup! |
 |
| Grubby faces have become the norm. |
 |
| Early morning fishing at Lincoln NP in SA. We saw seals in this bay. |
Lovely assortment of pics looking back on the year. So many extraordinary memories. I look forward to the next lot.
