Impressive Sunshine Coast Hinterland

Impressive Sunshine Coast Hinterland

Before driving to Sunshine Coast we heard a lot about it. People say that Sunshine Coast is very beautiful and not as busy as some places on Gold Coast. So, we were looking forward to seeing all the attractions around it. Once we got to Tewantin which is located in the north of the Sunshine…

Vibrant town of Kuranda and Barron Falls

The next day we were planning to go to Kuranda and Barron Falls via Black Mountain Road. It has already been our second week in Port Douglas. We love this town so much that we just could not leave.

Port Douglas – amazing Four Mile Beach

Port Douglas – amazing Four Mile Beach

The morning greeted us with rain, but in Daintree National Park, it was not unexpected. As we stepped out of our trailer, we felt the fabric drenched with water like a sponge, a familiar feeling in this rainforest region. However, the warm temperature kept our spirits high, and we did not complain. Thankfully, we didn’t…

Stunning Fremantle Shipwrecks Museum and old town

Today, for the second and last time, we left the trailer for final service. This time it was some cosmetic fixes – the door in the refrigerator, straightening the screw in the leg, installing baskets for a pair of new cans at the back.  Then, we finally had more time to explore Perth, and to…

Coral Bay – awesome snorkelling paradise

Coral Bay – awesome snorkelling paradise

The drive from Exmouth to Coral Bay was only 150 km, but it gave us an opportunity to observe the dry landscape of Western Australia’s northern region. We noticed that the state is predominantly bare of trees and surrounded by emptiness, with only small shrubs visible from the road. Coral Bay is a small town…

We decided that our next destination would be the famous Ningaloo Reef. Ningaloo Reef  is a world heritage-listed site that is home to a fringing reef just steps away from the shore. Snorkeling near the coast allows to observe turtles, fish, and manta rays, while from atop the hill, people can witness the majestic humpback…
