That would be something for my mother's daughter ;-)

While the East Coast of Australia brought me down to earth a bit, Mission Beach makes up for everything of the past few days... Like in paradise! The road from Townsville to...

I set off from the Whitsundays (Mackay) to Townsville in the late morning... The distance is about 300 km - but the landscape is quite monotonous... Recommendation to those who...

Es ist ein Traummorgen an den Whitsundays.... Nach einem ausgiebigen Frühstück und einem kurzen Bummel im Städtchen beschliesse ich einen halbtägigen Ausflug zu einem der...

The weather the next morning is promising - bright blue sky and the world and the view from my room already look much friendlier.... View from my hotel room in Mackay I...

The only real highlight is that after a full 200 km, a toilet finally appears and the sky clears up a bit. In my opinion, this is a stretch that you don't necessarily have to see....

At 10:30 am, the ferry leaves Fraser Island - the sky is even grayer than yesterday... the storm has wreaked havoc. My journey will take me up the east coast of Australia over...

Schon morgens um kurz vor 8 Uhr gehts los - die erste (eher negative) Überraschung ist der ziemlich bedeckte Himmel. Die zweite: statt eines schnuckeligen 4WD Jeeps inkl. Ranger...

Am Morgen übernehme ich das Mietauto und mache mich auf den Weg nach Fraser Island. Fraser Island ist die grösste Sandinsel der Welt und gehört zum World Heritage. Sie zählt zu...

After a night with little sleep - it was just too hot in the room, unfortunately the window cannot be opened - the sky over Brisbane is quite gray, although it is already very...

Today is a travel day - after the many great impressions of Kangaroo Island my plane leaves Adelaide for Brisbane at noon... My plane... I spend the morning organizing my...

The day begins with a sumptuous breakfast at my B&B Molly's Run. Highly recommended, a B&B with all-around catering and something similar to a family connection. The...

After a great breakfast, I will be picked up at 9 am by my B&B... Today I have a different guide, Gavin - a young Australian nature guy - we will have a lot of fun... :-)...

Today was a very early wake-up call - the flight to Kingscote on Kangaroo Island departs at 9:45 am. Leaving some of my luggage in Adelaide, the journey is a bit tiring... The...

The Mustang 2019...

Even on the last morning, I am 'woken up' by sun rays. The view from the window is always breathtaking - a cruise ship has docked in the harbor again at night. The view in the...

The second morning in Sydney is again beautiful, although a bit chilly... After breakfast, I decide to take a tour with the hop-on/hop-off buses - that way you get a little...

After a long, restful night, Sydney awaits me with radiant sunshine - not as warm - 17 degrees - but still very pleasant in the sun. After a hearty breakfast, a walk, and a...

From Zurich, we first flew to Singapore with the A380 and after a very short stopover, we continued on to Sydney. Despite business class - going around the world is quite...

Endlich - reisefertig... :-) Australien - ich komme...! Morgen um 11:45 Uhr schwebe ich über den Wolken :-)

In less than 48 hours I'll be in the air - heading towards the 5th continent... Australia... A journey I've wanted to make for a long time but always postponed, why actually...?...
