Some places in WA get all the publicity and hype. Pemberton is not one of these, and I reckon its one of the most underrated places in the state, any time of year. If you haven’t been to Pemberton, this post covers everything you need to know, and will hopefully leave you wanting to find…

Australia is a massive continent, and has a number of well known, and distinct locations that are hugely popular to visit. One is the most western point of Australia, and in this post we check out what it is, how you get there and a point that’s technically even further West. Most Western Point of…
Glen Herring Gorge; stunning free camping near Marble Bar
The Marble Bar area is nothing short of exceptional. There’s a heap of great attractions, and we were thoroughly shocked at how beautiful the region is. We’ve since been back again to explore more of the great area, and spent a spectacular night at Glen Herring Gorge. Sarah actually rated this our #1 camp site…
Lucky Bay Kalbarri; Amazing coastal camping
If you are looking for stunning beach side camping then Lucky bay might be for you. There are two bays in Western Australia which are known as Lucky Bay, and both are amazing places to visit but also extremely far apart. One is located in the south east of WA, near Esperance, and the other…
Carnarvon Mullewa Road a great alternative to bitumen
If you are wondering what sort of road goes between Gascoyne Junction and Mullewa, I thought I’d do a short post covering what to expect, and what is suitable to drive on. Of course, the road conditions can, and will vary, but for the most part, it’s a great condition gravel road. The Gascoyne Junction…
Magic Pool; remote paradise in the Pilbara
We’re always on the elusive hunt for incredible, off grid camp sites, and despite having a fairly well laid out plan for 3 weeks in the Pilbara, when we stumbled across a new option called Bobswim, we put it on the list. Some of you might know this as Magic Pool, and I’d be the…
Marble Bar Hillside Road; is it a good shortcut?
If you’re wondering how you can get from the Great Northern Highway to Marble Bar without having to do a huge detour, there is a decent option that takes you almost directly there. We’ve done it twice now, both times coming from Marble Bar towards Auski Roadhouse, and thoroughly enjoyed the drive. The Road name…
Shell Beach in Shark Bay; a beach with no sand
Ever been to a beach made entirely of Shells? No? You’re not alone, believe me! If you’ve never heard of Shell Beach before, rest assured that I’m not pulling your leg. On the way to the beautiful Shark Bay region lies a beach that is made up entirely of shells. As the name would suggest,…
Wellington Dam Mural; an incredible work of art
Collie is a spectacular part of the world, and they’ve been working hard to diversify their attractions to bring visitors in. One of the major upgrades that has seen people come from all over the world was the Wellington Dam Mural, which was painted a few years ago and is truly spectacular. Like everyone I’m…
Mt Augustus to the Kennedy Ranges; what’s the road like?
It can be really hard to find information on road conditions, and what is actually suitable to be taken, so I thought I’d share some thoughts on the road between Mt Augustus and the Kennedy Ranges. I say road, but make no mistake; this is not bitumen and whilst it is regularly maintained you need…
Paraburdoo to Mt Augustus along Ashburton Downs Road
On our 3 week trip to the Pilbara, we spent a couple of incredible nights at Magic Pool and then Cheela Plains Station, before heading south towards Mt Augustus. This is a 350 odd kilometre drive from Cheela Plains, and is entirely gravel. I’d read online that it was generally suitable for a 2WD vehicle,…
Bilung Pool; a huge, unexpected highlight
The excitement of pulling into a new camp site never gets old, and as we rolled into a new place by the name of Bilung Pool, I wondered whether it would be any good, or if it would just be a regular, non special overnighter. It didn’t take long to realise we were onto a…
