road trip adventures part 1

2008.07.24
Mandalay Beach which is down on the South Coast, near Walpole.


In the Karri Tree Forest TreeTop Walk, it's about 40meters up and you're walking in the 'Valley of the Giants'.

Thousands of eerie limestone pillars in the Pinnacles Desert, in the Nambung National Park, only a couple of hours north of Perth.

Part of the 'Z Bend' formed by the Murchison River in Kalbarri National Park. Obviously, it's shaped like a Z.

Nature's Window, still in Kalbarri.

Um, still in Kalbarri but can't quite remember the name of this gorge, maybe Eagle Gorge. whoops. Nice lunch spot but no swimming yet.

Stromolites (algae deposits which are among the oldest forms of life on earth!!) at Hamelin Pool in Shark Bay. They are descendants of life forms some 3500 million years ago. The ones here are the most diverse and abundant in the world. TRUE! It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Shell Beach, still in Shark Bay. It's a coast line of approx 110km comprising of millions of tiny white shells (coquina shells), which is 25 to 30 feet deep. No bare feet here!

Just a boat off the beach at Denham, Shark Bay. Shark Bay is named so because of the abundance of sharks in the waters. 850 kms from Perth, most people visit here because of Monkey Mia where the dolphins swim to the shore and interact with the visitors.

Part 1 !! It's so hard to narrow down almost 2000 pictures into a few to post on photoblog...but here goes. So this is the start of a few highlights for you all from my recent trip where I travelled from Perth, Western Australia, up the coast to Broome, then across through the Kimberley's to Darwin in the Northern Territory. Enjoy!
