We have recently returned from a road trip.
We drove from Perth to Exmouth and back in eight days.
Northern WA is a beautiful and amazing place -
teeming with wildlife (both on land and in the ocean)
and picturesque landscapes, it's a trip we will always remember!
Let’s drive up North
land vast and wide
and see what we can find-
Road flat and straight
one lane each way
no twists or turns to wind
Tiny towns few and far
stone churches built like
castles
Northampton greets large
bearded men
on bikes – grinning like
rascals
Miles stretch out
scrub flat and dry
goats play in rich red dirt
Billabong with ice-block
sticks –
a welcome cold dessert
Carnarvon greets us late that
day
banana big and yellow
A walk ‘long One Mile Jetty
the evening clear and mellow
We rise again
and face the north
unsure what we will see
Rains further up have closed
the roads
now covered with debris
A brand new plan
with detour trips
finds us at Quobba Point
Blowholes firing upwards -
nothing to disappoint!
Cooling off with snorkels in
rainbows of fish surround
Sparkling schools
dance past our masks
eyes wide at what we’d found!
We stayed a while
in paradise
‘til north beckoned once more
then made our way to Coral
Bay -
tropical fish galore!
