I Was Right All Along

Sun. 16th June 2019 For some time now, when we’ve been asked where we are going to after the Bungle Bungles, I have answered quite confidently “El Questro”. The usual response is for people to nod their heads and make …

Haven’t We Got Domes To Go To?
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/DSF1272_thumb-190x127.jpg
Fri. 14th June 2019 Murphy’s law is sometimes stated as “anything that can go wrong, will” but a more general version of it is “anything that can happen, will”. The Bungle Bungles are geology’s reminder of this truism. Some combination …

Creek To Crossing
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/DGH1989_thumb-190x128.jpg
Wed. 12th June 2019 It’s either a sign that we’re getting good at this camping malarkey, or a warning that it’s all going horribly wrong. Either way we wake at 6:30 (yes, even Janet) and are washed, breakfasted, packed and …

The Jetties Of Broome
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/DSF0940_thumb-152x190.jpg
Mon. 10th June 2019 As feared, enjoyable as yesterday was, it took a whole day of our time in Broome and now we only have today to see all that Broome has to offer. And, as well we need to …
Time And Tide
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/DSF0690_thumb-190x190.jpg
Sat. 8th June 2019 One of the lessons we are learning from our camping experience, is that you might just as well shift your body clock forward and go to bed early and rise early. Although we’re not currently camping, …

A Sense Of Scale
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/DGH1700_thumb-190x128.jpg
Thur. 6th June 2019 Prior to arriving here, when we’d told Aussies that we will be visiting Port Hedland, we were consistently told “oh, there’s nothing to see in Port Hedland”. How wrong can folk be? Well, we weren’t entirely …

Carry On Clambering
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/DSF0483_thumb.jpg
Tue. 4th June 2019 It seems appropriate to continue the themes from the last two day’s posts as the primary activity here in Karijini is visiting the gorges and walking along some of the trails. As it turned out there …

Sun. 2nd June 2019 Morning arrives though you wouldn’t really know it, as our prison cell is windowless (see yesterday’s post for more description). Today is the fateful day, the one we’ve been trying not to think about too much. …

From Above And Below
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/DSF0299_thumb.jpg
Fri. 31st May 2019 We generally don’t like retracing our steps as there is always so much new stuff to see and do. However, a) We didn’t get to see all of the recommended places on the reef side of …
Exceeds Expectations
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/DSC5252_thumb-190x127.jpg
Tue. 28th May 2019 There are a number of reasons to be nervous today and not just because of the anticipation of the experience to come – on my priority list of things to see and do, swimming with whale …
