Eromanga is a small mining town in the middle of the Western Queensland Outback and it holds the title of the furthest town from the sea in Australia. This was surprising, at least to me – I would’ve thought a town like this would be somewhere in Central Australia, like Alice Springs! Turns out this…
Kalbarri is where you go for some of the most scenic hiking trails in Western Australia. Take your pick – walk along the sea cliffs on the Bigurda Trail, next to the Murchison Gorge on the Loop Walk, or soak in the views from any of the lookouts. This guide has what we think are…

Perth is one of the most remote capitals in the world, but it offers a blend of urban culture and outdoor adventures that is hard to find anywhere else on Earth! We’ve been lucky to call this place home for over a decade. We’ve been to pretty much every park, surfed and snorkelled every beach,…
Most orca tours in Bremer Bay are very similar. They’re extremely good, with dozens of 5-star reviews to back them up. They include pretty much the same meals and they cost about the same. However, there are a few tours that stand out and give you a once in a lifetime experience. That’s when you…

Kalbarri is an absolute gem of the Coral Coast in Western Australia. That’s why we don’t understand why we’ve met SO many people who have never even heard of it! It’s a 6-7 hour drive from Perth – the scenic drive is part of the appeal, tbh. But it’s a bit far away to fit…
Rottnest Island (aka “Rotto”) is a pocket-sized paradise at a quick ferry ride from Perth, Fremantle, or Hillarys Harbour. It’s known for being home to the cheerful quokka, but did you know the island has over 60 incredible beaches? Most of them offer top-notch snorkelling with their abundant marine life. There are also over 40…

So, believe us when we say: You don’t need a tour to enjoy Rotto, but it will make your visit even more unforgettable! The most…
