Travelogues Australia

Wednesday 7.6.17 - a very special working day for me. My boss Ross told me that we were going on a trip to the Outback to his mate Numma and I should pack something gluten-free...

Christmas at the beach, who doesn't dream of that? I mean, it's nice. Warm, 35°C and cozy lying on the beach. But for me, Christmas means sitting together with the family,...

28.05- 29.05.2017 On the way to the Blue Mountains, we pass by the Kiama Blow Hole and the Cathedral Rocks. Both are rather unspectacular and we arrive at the National Park...

05/26/2017 The night was frosty and we even had to scrape the window. We postpone breakfast to later as it is really cold and start driving. When we arrive in Canberra, it is...

18.05.-19.05.2017 After finally meeting up with Niko, we drive to the first scenic highlights on the Great Ocean Road. These are almost always rock formations that protrude...

Cheers Mate, How is it going... very unusual and it can really get on your nerves when you are addressed like this 100 times a day! But by now it's okay :-) But let's start from...

April 12th, 2017 This morning we decided to give the sunrise another chance, so we set off to Boroka Lookout at 6am. From two platforms, you could enjoy the beautiful view - a...

After a loooong 8-hour flight without food and drink (...at $5.50 for a small water; let's not even talk about the price for a lukewarm microwave meal), the plane landed in...

When we wake up, it is pouring rain. We had planned to continue to Cape Tribulation in the rainforest today, but is it even worth it in this weather? Probably not. We have...

Even the next morning we don't give up hope and set out on the search for platypuses again. Nothing again... We get in the car and drive to Mareeba. Here we upload the...

After uploading blog entries in the morning, we jump in the car and drive north along the coast. The sun is scorching hot, so the nearly 7-hour drive is accompanied by constant...

The sun is still shining on the second day in Byron Bay. We are changing our parking spot as we need electricity for our fridge and other devices every...

March 12th, 2017 - 2 am, or as they say here: 2 a.m. - The journey can begin! Even though it's been almost a month now, I still remember our trip to Mount Warning very well. The...

More precisely: Sydney! Here, we had a total of 4 days to explore everything. And what do you do with so much time? Sleep! ;) We arrived in Sydney early in the morning after a...

Today, hairstyle and co didn't matter at all (we still looked great - at least until we sat on the beach or were in the water): we went to the beach and nowhere else (no...

I'm still in Melbourne. On Monday, I'm heading to Airlie Beach to visit the Great Barrier Reef! There are only 3 direct flights from Melbourne to Airlie Beach each week. The...

After the shock last night, we first went to the supermarket and bought 'comfort food' (Spaghetti Bolognese) and beer and sparkling wine. Amazing how a little alcohol can make...

Oh, life could be so beautiful if everything goes well... it could be so beautiful if the first navigation system works during car rental pickup, or at least the second one......

So here were some more days spent at the winery 'Oranje Tractor'. There was some variety in the days and besides the main task of tending to the vineyards, there were other jobs...

Yesterday, Samuel couldn't fall asleep at all. It took him about 2 hours to finally fall asleep. I think Michi and I dozed off a few times before him. Nevertheless, we are all...

Even today, we are not tempted to get up early. Last night, temperatures were slightly milder and we didn't have to pull the blanket over our ears. We could easily get used to...

After changing my original plans to work during the flight from the area north of Perth to the south coast of Western Australia, it was decided to go to the area around...

I wake up very early today. There is already a lot of activity at the campground. Our neighbors are getting ready to go for the sunrise at 5:45 am. We briefly considered going...

Today we had time to visit the National Park in Noosa and it was definitely worth it. The park is located right on Sunshine beach and is huge. Unfortunately,...

A beautiful day to do a road trip and see some nature

I finally went to the Melbourne Museum to explore a little bit more about this city

I have spent the day in the Zoo with a friend to avoid Melbourne Cup

This is the fish we focused on today: the whale shark, the largest fish in the world, and part of the shark family. (The photos are 'borrowed'.) Our last day on the Australian...

Sunday in Perth. What to do? One goes to 'Rottnest Island', an island that has a lot to offer. We headed to the harbor district early, and at Barrack Square, the 'Barrack Square...

Today, breakfast was served at the hotel, including hot dishes like beans in tomato sauce, bacon, sausages, rice, mushrooms, eggs in all varieties, and of course, small pancakes,...
