Today (19th of June 2024) we did a bit of a self drive tour , our first destination was  Coconut wells,  The coconut wells area is an off grid beachside community just north of Broome.  It has several mango farms. But it is best known for it’s turquoise tidal lagoon and the 100’s of bathsize Rockpools.  That are refilled every high tide all created by the limestone rocky outcrop. Each little pool is like a little aquarium where you can find crabs , fish and sea slugs. It was a lovely drive and Reggie got to do another sand drive. After the coconut wells visit we headed to the  Malcolm Douglas Crocodile farm and animal refuge The Crocodile park was established inn 1983, by the well known conservationist and filmmaker Malcom Douglas. The croc park is located just north of Broome on a property with several natural lakes and ponds , creating a perfect environment for the crocs both saltwater and freshwater to live as naturally as possible. The majority of Crocodiles...

Cape Le grand national Park sits on the lands of the Wudjari people The park covers an area of 31,801. Hectares. The name Cape Le Grand came from one of the officers on L’Esperance one of the ships in the 1792 expedition of Bruni d’Entrecasteaux. ,  On Monday we hiked the beautiful walk from Lucky Bay to Thistle Cove. The hike was a pretty short 4 km round trip  The views were absolutely stunning, and i have to say i have really become much more besotted with the native flora. Thistle Cove is just one of the many beautiful bays located in this area. Thistle Cove was named by Mathew Flinders after the ships master John Thistle However its charm is not just its pristine beach, but also the stunning panorama of the cove. Above is whistling rock , a giant slab standing vertically , as it is curved in shape it amplifies the surrounding noises. The sound of the ocean definetly became louder and there was a definite humming sound. I actually had one of those moments where i thought t...

We set off from Bourke  , we had stayed the night at Kidmans camp , which was a lovely spot and headed off south to start the Datling River run. For the first few hours we didn’t see any river as our first destination was  TooraleHomestead The drive in was pretty good , lots of dust and a little bit of corrigation but really quite good  We seen some wildlife including an eagle  Bit blurry as it was taken through the windscreen of the car ,  Some Emu’s and kangaroos  The homestead itself is closed to the public except during school holidays ,so we didn’t get to go in but , we knew before we arrived that was the case and I was keen to see it anyway. Sir Samuel McCaughey in partnership with his Brother John and cousin purchased Toorale, Nocoleche and Dunlop station. Acquiring 800 000 acres of land and 130 000 sheep and 80 horses.  Eventually Samuel bought his brother and cousin out. He built the homestead in 1896 as a wedding gift to his niece. The golden...
