Travelogues Australia

To overcome jet lag, it was important to stay awake! So after checking in at Northern Greenhouse (highly recommended!), I headed towards the beach. Unfortunately, the lagoon was...

After saying goodbye to everyone in the weeks before my flight - grandmas, relatives, friends, and colleagues - I finally started on 09.07.18. There had to be one last Bavarian...

Before we delve into the topic of car sales, here's a quick post about our two trips to see the crocodiles. I really wanted to go on this tour, so we even paid the $50 per person.

After Lucky Bay, there was a long time with nothing: Welcome to the Nullarbor Plain!

27.03. After a really cool night, which has never happened before in Australia, unless it rained, we spent the very hot afternoon at the campground pool. In the afternoon, we...

After three weeks of searching, we have finally found him! Our new family member Boomerang. 'Boomie', a 2002 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado, will hopefully take us reliably across...

Last weekend, the whole family went to Ballarat Wildlife Park for the first time, which offers mainly typical Australian animals. What is special about this park is that kangaroos...

In Wilsons Promontory National Park, we finally saw kangaroos. We were so close to them that we could observe them very well. Continuing our search for koalas, constantly...

After the Blue Mountains, we had no idea what to do, so we first looked up what is worth seeing. The distance from the Blue Mountains to Melbourne is about 1000 kilometers....

The last three days have caused blisters on our feet – we have been exploring Sydney on foot and visited pretty much every tourist attraction. Some of our highlights were the...

Sydney was our final stop in Australia. We were really looking forward to meeting up with Louis and Celine, whom we had met in Hervey Bay. They live or lived in Sydney and will...

On Sunday, after a big breakfast, we set off again to explore the area around the Great Ocean Road. First, we went to the Maits Rest Rainforest, then to Kennett River to search...

We have finally made the first kilometers towards the south. Our target destination was Townsville, which is 350 kilometers away. On the way there, we followed recommendations...

In Brisbane we originally booked accommodation through Airbnb for 2 nights. But since we liked the city so much, we extended our stay for another night. Before returning the...

Finally, the day has come we see the Great Barrier Reef 🎉😊. We booked an Open Water dive course with Pro Dive in Cairns. This means that after this course we are allowed to...

November 17 - West Coast Australia: Kalbarri National Park, The Pinnacles, Lancelin, Hutt Lagoon (Pink Lake), Perth, Rottnest Island, Margaret River

As mentioned before, we chose the 3-day Whitsundays Trip Ride to Paradise because we didn't have to stay on the boat. On the first day, we were taken to the resort by speedboat,...

On the way to Airlie Beach, where our trip to the Whitsundays starts, we made the first stop in Hervey Bay. Our Sunlodge Tourist Park campsite had something to offer that we had...

We booked a 3-day trip with Get Along Tours on Fraser Island, the largest sand island in the world. The program included driving with a 4x4 vehicle, various excursions on the...

We spent the first two nights in Brisbane for Rahel to overcome jet lag. We were already warned that it is not the most charming city. That was also our impression. Many...

Before we headed home on Sunday, we drove a little further along the Great Ocean Road so that I could get a better impression :) More specifically, we drove to the 'Eage Rock...

After a bad night (gusts of wind) and a 16-degree cold morning with swirling drizzle, we were a little tired of camping and booked a hotel room for the first time. The entrance...

When we landed in Melbourne, it was in the middle of the night. Since we didn't want to spend money on a hostel for the few hours, we decided to sleep in a hallway at the...

As we spent the weekend in Geraldton, we immediately grabbed the 'Weekend Activities' sheet, which listed everything worth seeing. Live music from a cover band at the Geraldton...

In the morning, we drove for about 1h on sandy tracks back to the paved road, where we inflated the tires for normal roads. Driving a 4wd is really fun. 😜 At the Billabong...

In order not to drive the entire distance from Coral Bay to Monkey Mia in one go, we decided to spend the night in Carnarvon. The morning ritual of 'taking down the tent' brings...

We were picked up early in the morning at our campsite and taken to the harbor in Hervey Bay. Then it was time to take the ferry to Fraser Island, the largest sandbank in the...

After waking up, we decided to pack up the tent first and then take a shower. This morning ritual has proven itself once again. Just as we finished packing, it started pouring...
