Hello all,

This will be the last post of our adventure. If you have been following along you will have noticed that the posts have sort of stopped. It is because we are in Australia now and have had very bad and spotty internet access. And since we will be heading home in just about two weeks this will be the last post. Western Australia is really the “out back”. I don’t think, technically it’s considered the out back but it sure is barren. We flew from Perth up to Exmouth to dive with the whale sharks and do a bit of scuba diving in the Ningaloo marine preserve. Both were amazing. We then drove for 7 and a half hours to a place called Monkey Mia which is on Shark Bay and I can tell you that there is nothing, I mean NOTHING in between these two places. When we left Monkey Mia and drove to Kalbarri it was another 5 hours and again, nothing. This is a very big and barren country. But there is a raw beauty in the landscape. Anyway we will be heading to Sydney in a couple of days, then up to Cairns to scuba dive on the Great Barrier Reef. Then we start our journey home. We will be back in Boulder on the 3rd of May.

Western Australia.  8 hours of this.

Oh they have these little flies there too.  They don’t bite but are annoying as hell.  Note the head netting.

See you all soon.
