https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/DSF1321_thumb-190x152.jpg
Sat. 15th June 2019 I would not normally call setting a 6am alarm sensible but, as the weather forecast shows temperatures of 30° by 10am, I submit. As we are thinking of walking along Whip Snake Gorge which is a …

Into The Unknown

Thur. 13th June 2019 Ask anyone where or what the Bungle Bungles (now also known by its Aboriginal name of Purnululu) are and very few people know. Even a few Aussies we’ve talked to have said “what?” We had seen …

https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/DSF1017_thumb-190x127.jpg
Tue. 11th June 2019 After four nights around Broome we are ready to move on. We are due in the Bungle Bungles in three days time so have two nights accommodation to sort and we have settled on camping somewhere. …

Horizontal Falls

Sun. 9th June 2019 One of the iconic trips in this part of the world is to visit the Horizontal Falls, located in a very isolated part of the far north-west of the continent. The easiest way for us is …

If You Want Me, I Am By The Pool
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/DSF0669_thumb-190x127.jpg
Fri. 7th June 2019 It was our best nights sleep yet in the roof tent. No wind and little noise until 6:45am, even though the campsite is quite busy. We are impressed with the facilities and tuck into our breakfast …
Road Train Road
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/DSC5510_thumb-190x127.jpg
Wed. 5th June 2019 We wake just before 7am to hear our neighbours leave. Blimey, they must have been up early. It had been a very windy night again but knowing from the previous night that the tent can survive …
Red

Mon. 3rd June 2019 As ever when camping, even with face masks and earplugs we still woke early so we’re up at 7am. The downside of the roof tent is that if we want to drive anywhere during the day …

From Shothole to Sh*thole
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/DSF0339_thumb-190x127.jpg
Sat. 1st June 2019 Sorry for the title mum but it seemed appropriate for the metal box we sleep in tonight. We are heading inland to Karijini National Park but it would be a long drive in one day so …
Catching The Drift
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/DSF0212_thumb-190x127.jpg
Thur. 30th May 2019 We so enjoyed Coral Bay but will the northern part of Ningaloo reef be as good? There are many places to visit and so the plan is to go to the far end of the sealed …
Crabs and Ospreys
https://www.thehornseys.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/DSF0141_thumb-190x127.jpg
Wed. 29th May 2019 Once we start something we have to finish it, and so it was with the walk to the reef shark nursery. The only instructions we had were to head north along the shore for 15 minutes …
