calNgary Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 Some stunning photos in this collection. How many have you visited since you've been here? Im adding Lake Hillier onto my 'to do list' having seen this. '' Pristine beaches, outback adventures, wildlife trips, hip cities – you name it and Australia has it.

starlight7 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 The trouble with WA is the distances between things. I totally love Esperance but it is such a long way from anywhere that I doubt I'll get there again, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im counting down the years until we retire,lol, then we can take off in a camper and explore all these areas. Cal x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest40285 Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 There sure is some unreal places to visit, Im doing the whole grey nomad thing for sure, seen lots on that list but there is so much more I reckon. Its also amazing what you can explore and find on your own doorstep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlhall Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 If you get chance to travel before you retire then go for it. We intended to do the whole grand tour thing, but unfortunately my wifes health and stopped that idea. So if you get chance go for it and enjoy yourselves. You never know what is round the corner to stop you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobj Posted May 17, 2014 Share Posted May 17, 2014 I would think bungle bungle comes under the Kimberley @Bobj would know Yup, The Bungle Bungles as the area was known as, is now called Purnululu National Park, but there is a Lodge there called Bungle Bungle Wilderness Lodge. There is a smaller version of the "beehive" like rock formation at Kununurra, Called, in the early days, "Hidden Valley". It is now known as Mirima. The Purnululu area is SE of Turkey Creek, now known as Warmun. Turkey Creek community was an Aboriginal Community. Incidentally, a pommy mate of mine took up the first lease on the west side of the road. He had a bore drilled for his water supply and used to serve petrol and diesel from 44 gallon drums using a rotary hand pump. He also used a dipstick to measure the amount of fuel sold. Harry built a shed from local timber in which to sell the fuel. A couple of years later he upgraded to a metal shed about 30' x 20'. He originally went to the Kimberlies as a Main Roads truck driver. All that was in the 1960s. Cheers, Bobj. Many thanks, Katie for reminding me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
