Back on the Road Again!
It is with mixed feelings that we leave Albany. The bad is the breakdown, the cost, and sheer frustration and disappointment in mechanics that we sought for professional advice. The great of Albany is the people, natural beauty, geomorphology, museums and the top of...
Albany to Bunbury, and back to have the Iveco computer reprogrammed!
Well we arrived back in Albany yesterday to pick up the truck after a two month rebuild of the gearbox --a part had to freighted from Italy. Our aim was to resume our holiday and head for Kalgoorlie-Boulder. Not to be the **###**mechanics were more than happy for us...

Snorkelling Outer Reef Coral Bay, Western Australia
Snorkelling on an outer reef off the shore from Coral Bay ….totally, totally out of my comfort zone, the crew of Coral Bay Ecotours were just amazing, they new I was extremely nervous, and continually checked I was okay. I do not think I could have taken this...

Mt Evans – The air is rare up there!
I would not stand at the edge of near vertical cliff without a barrier so what are doing riding a nearly half a ton of motorbike on a crumbling bitumen road less than a meter away from one? Mt Evans, at 14,123 ft is the highest paved road in America and a ride not to...
1,400 ft Coffee – Estes Park
It is not often you have to go from 7,500 ft to 8,900 ft for a great coffee but that is exactly what we did in Estes Park Colorado. Catch the aerial tram to the top of Prospect Mountain and you will you get fabulous views of Estes Park and the Rocky Mountains National...
Fort Laramie, Wyoming
