West coast trip, Broome to Perth, January 2007

Broome to Perth is 2400km of wilderness, especially the northern part of the trip...we've driven an extra 400km with a few detours on the way down.
It obviously was a bush camping trip as well, camping all the way down in the most remote areas!
I was travelling with 2 swedish ladies of the nicest company, and we got lucky enough to get a relocation brand new toyota landcruiser!!!
To me, W.A. (Western Australia) is the place to be or to travel throughout.
I met so many people in Perth and they were like..."oh yeah well I'm heading towards the east coast afterwards because it's fun there and bla bla bla..."
But they definitely miss out for so few of them will make their way back to the west coast!
W.A. is the real genuine Australia.



Typical harsh landscapes in the northern part of the trip...not very comfortable to sleep on there either!

Well...the very first morning, I was still half asleep and I felt something slithering beneath my tent...it got pretty much right by my head and I tried to smack it with my elbow for I couldn't be bothered going out of the tent to check it out.

I forgot about it and when I folded up my tent a couple of hours later, it actually was a death adder, one of the deadliest snakes in the world, snuggling beneath my skull!

I thought about picking it up but swiftly forgot about it as I was in the middle of nowhere, if I had got bitten...

Observing my prey...

On the second day, we burst a tyre on the way, something rather rare with this type of cars...it was just due to the extreme heat of the tar I reckon...it was about 45 degrees out there, and that's what we had to bear when fixing the damn wheel during an hour.

You know this sort of day you feel like each gust of wind seems like coming from an baking hot oven...lol

We did it!

Camping in the middle of nowhere by the sand dunes in Coral bay...quite comfy with the short moor on the ground.

The following day, we've been 4 wheel driving on the dunes like 80km/ h , it was such a stunning experience!

Coral bay and the pure crystal waters, that is so typical of the indian ocean...a daydream.

That's the type of roadhouses you have all the way down to perth if you get the munchies or whatever.

Getting below the tropic of Capricorn hadn't happened in 8 months!

The pinnacles desert, about 2 hours driving north of Perth, different and geologically very interesting!

A few kangaroos by hangover bay... lol
