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 arrived in Paris about 7am this morning, we spent approximately 27 hours travelling, 21 of those spent on a plane with a six hour lay over in Singapore. The airport at Singapore is amazing with lots to keep you busy, although after a short bout of shopping we spent many hours just relaxing in the lounge areas.

Can't wait to see it up close tomorrow My first sighting of Notre dame took my breathe away. As we crossed the bridge to the ille de Le cite, the bells of notredame began to chime and you could actually feel the vibration in the air, it was amazing. Our first day in P...
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...
