Adventures Off-Grid

Beautiful Bingin. What a great first stop in Bali, we adjusted to island time really quickly. Great Villa for watching the big waves roll in.

Some of the cheeky 🙉 monkeys that would raid our room every morning while in Bingin.

A beautiful end to our first day at The West MacDonnell Ranges, we swam and camped at Ellery Creek Big Hole.

Angkerle Atwatye - Standley Chasm

The land is owned and operated by the traditional custodians, the Western Arrernte People.

This was a beautiful spot to visit, we were happy to pay the $30 to visit (as it's not included in your parks pass).

Atwatye

📍 Simpsons Gap

The start of the West MacDonnell Ranges if you are coming from Alice Springs.

Come as we did a 2-day whirlwind tour of the West MacDonnell Ranges.

A quick visit to Karlu Karlu (Devil's Marbles) on our way to Alice Springs.

There have been many bushfires in the area in the last few days, so we decided to keep on trucking!

We missed the iconic Daly Waters last year due to caravan issues.

This year, we spent a night here on our way to Alice Springs.

A great pub meal, cold beer, farm animals, playground and lots of random stuff for the kids to explore and ask questions about.

230 days of WA.

West really is Best!

We've had an amazing time in Western Australia. There are so many places we want to go back to, so many places we could move to, so many firsts in WA, so many of our top spots to camp, and so many of our top experiences have been in WA.

These last 7.5 months will hold a special place in our hearts.

WA, we will be back.

But - hello NT - you are pretty dam special too :)

🧡🖤Purnululu National Park (aka The Bungle Bungles)

The iconic bee-hive striped domes was a must do for me while up in the Kimberley’s.

Did you know - The orange-red bands are colored by iron and manganese, while the grey-black stripes are a cyanobacterial crust—ancient living organisms.

We managed to complete The Domes Walk & Cathedral Gorge before the heat got to us.

That’s a Bloody Wrap Baby!
