Australia - Photos Karajini Nat Park to Broom



Is this not what dreams are made of, what an incredibly captivating, peaceful, provocative and remarkable country this is. Every day I spend in this amazing place makes me realize more and more how insignificant, sheltered, unworldly I am and how little I really know about anything. And with that every additional day my eyes grow wider, I get smaller and more humbled and my thirst for knowledge, understanding and gravity increase ten fold.

Heading into the Fortescue Falls where we sat at the base of the falls with the cool water hammering down around us.

After our dip it was on to Circular Pool an aqua coloured pool a few hundred meters from the top of the Fortescue Falls.

Then it was the climb out of the gorge and back to Tina for the 300km drive to Port Headland.

A stole along the world famous 80 mile beach (Obviously not the whole 80 miles). It was lovely looking both up and down the beach all you could see was the beach, beach and more beach. Passing the various shells and sponges that had been washed up by the ever pounding Indian Ocean.Then back to the road for the final Kilometers to Broom

Our timing could not have been better as the "Stairway to the Moon" was still happening, this is when the moon rises over the mud flats causing a stairway effect on the water that runs up to the moon, it is truly incredible it see even through the crowds. Due to it happening only a certain times a year there are huge number of people that come from all over to see it.

It was time to head towards the infamous Cable Beach with its famous camel rides, and stunning sunsets. The four of us spent the rest of afternoon playing in the sea and then we watched as the sun set it such unbelievable colours over the sea. I was so relaxed I could hear the slowing thud of my heart, my mind was so clear yet absorbed the absolute magnificence of my surroundings. Just thinking of being there again makes the hairs on my neck stand on end, I can almost taste that ocean breeze and feel the temperature change as the sun slipped under the sea. It will always be somewhere I'll never forget, the company, the sounds, the feel, the surroundings, if I could ever freeze a moment of life it would be then.

Then on to the pub and it was back to playing drinking games, this was well buggered as the whole point of the game appeared to be telling everyone your darkest secrets and then drinking as well... Katie was pissed before we had even started, so she was well away with the fairies which lead to some most amusing dancing on her part. After us all having a good skin full we wondered down to the local club, it had not really got going yet so we ended up sitting out side doing shooters before the dancing started.

We said our good byes to Katie and Sarah after dropping them at the bus stop.
