Shit Happens- August 8, 2019
Waking up when camping in the middle of nowhere is pretty great. Feeling the wind through the tent, the smell of the earth just inches from your nose and the heat of the sun attempting to intrude the tent and enter your skin. It’s freeing and glorious. Want to know what the opposite of that…
Lost Key But Found Bush- August 7, 2019
We were supposed to meet at the pier by 6:30 AM for the dolphin feedings. Apparently, the local Monkey Mia secret is once you are in the water the park rangers can’t make you get out. Once that clock strikes 6:45 AM it becomes a no swim zone and they will not let you enter the…
Shell Beach & Monkey Mia- August 6, 2019
It was a pretty standard morning; wake up, get dressed, brush teeth, pack up the tents and trailer, get on the bus, start driving, and pop a “tinnie”. Today’s first stop was the Billabong Roadhouse for people to use the toilets, and get some snacks. I got something way more important than snacks. COFFEE. My…

Pink Lakes and White Butts- August 4, 2019

Meeting Daisy- August 3, 2019
I woke up before my alarm today. Those days are few and far between but today was a great day for it to happen. It meant I had time to go to the gas station to grab some travel sized body wash. I even had time to go for a little wander to find a…
Travel Day to Western Australia- August 2, 2019
I was running late again. Standard. I had told Ebony I would be at her house around 1:00 PM even though we had planned to leave for the airport at 2:00 PM. By 1:30 PM I still wasn’t finished packing and I still had to stop at the pharmacy for some body wash and toothpaste…
