Whitsundays: lazy days in paradise

We make our way to Airlie Beach, another little piece of Paradise on Earth. There seems to be a lot of that going around here in Australia. Our motel room overlooks a little marina, with cute little sailing boats; and a view of the Whitsunday ...

Charters Towers: feelin' hot hot hot!

We can use a little break from the rainforest walks, and decide to head inland towards Charters Towers, a little city where the gold fever struck hard in the late 1800's. We leave the wet heat of the tropics behind for the dry, dusty heat of inland ...

Babinda boulders

Visited an amazing place today on our way from Port Douglas to Townsville: the Babinda Boulders. Tonnes of granite moved by earthquakes and water make for an impressive landscape. The drive to Townsville proved to be a bit more difficult than ...

Eclipse!

Finally it's Wednesday the 14th of November, the day we've been waiting for. We get up at 3h45 to start the long drive towards Bob's Lookout. I didn't get much sleep, too restless before the big event. It's still dark when we set out to the ...

Kuranda and the Never Never

With one day to go befor the eclipse, the weather is still unstable. Our first idea was to watch the eclipse from the beach by our hotel, but now it looks like there will be clouds on the coast in the morning. Also, the tide will come up and ...

Cairns: botanical garden

Visited another botanical garden in Cairns. One of the advantages of visiting Australia in springtime: all the trees, plants and flowers are in bloom. Really pretty! And there are butterflies everywhere! FINALLY got some pics of the beautiful ...

Port Douglas: Snorkelling the Great Barrier Reef

We booked a snorkelling trip out of Port Douglas with Wavelength. Had to get up at the crack of dawn, but man, it was worth it! AMAZING trip! One of the coolest things I've done in my entire life!! It was like swimming in the reef display of the ...

Daintree, where even the plants are out to get you

We arrive in The Daintree, the heart of the Australian rainforest. And immediately we get off to a good start: we saw two cassowaries!!! They're incredibly rare, only 1200 left in the wild, and here they are, two of them by the side of the road. ...

Atherton: dodgy Chinese food, shaky wifi

We pick up our rental car at the airport in Cairns. We are now the proud drivers of a bright red, low riding Ford Falcon, complete with rear spoiler and huge chrome exhaust pipe. Veeery stylish! Parting wisdom from the Hertz guy, Aussie style:"Stick ...

Fishies! Lots 'n lots of fishies! And spiders too!

Visit to the Sydney aquarium was amazing! Never seen such huge crabs, lobsters and turtles in my life! And they have dugongs! The cutest, gentlest creatures you'll meet in the sea, if you ask me. Off course lots of sharks too, and amazing corals, ...

Whales!!!

Finally arrived in Sydney, after a horrible second flight. Got sick, and couldn't wait to get out of that little box! First day we took it easy, walking from our hotel to the botanical gardens, and on to the opera house. Garden was amazing! We ...

Time flies when you're having fun!

Just spent six hours in the delightful company of Brad Pitt and Jason Statham. Etihad in-flight entertainment rocks! Thank God the little kiddies sitting next to me were very well-behaved, would've been a very long flight otherwise ;-)

Starbucks

Figuring out what to wear in the morning is a challenge. Figuring out what to wear for the next 4 weeks is damn near impossible! On the bright side, Starbucks caramel macchiato almost makes up for the lack of sleep.

Eclips Australië 2012

Met deze reis streep ik in één beweging twee dingen van m'n Bucket List: Australië verkennen; en de sterrenhemel van het zuidelijk halfrond zien. En die totale zonsverduistering is mooi meegenomen ;-)
