My travels in 2021 and 2022

Perth - surroundings

Kane was nice enough to spend a whole day with me and gave me his personal tourist tour. We went to an abandoned local power station, Lesmurdie Waterfall nearby Kalamunda and an...

Fremantle

Fremantle is one of the southern parts of Perth. It's most famous sight is the old Freemantle prison but first of, I would have been too late for a tour inside anyway and...

Perth

My first day in Perth was supernice, as I was welcomed by fresh but sunny weather. My stroll through the CBD turned out to be worth it: I visited the Arts Gallery, a local...

Cairns / Great Barrier Reef

The weather was bad in Cairns. And since it was almost booked out on hotel rooms, I had to take a dorm bed for the very first time on my travels. And my first Great Barrier Reef...

Daintree National Park /Port Douglas

I drove up a bit further north of Cairns in order to catch up with Ben and Hailey and her daughter Cody whom I had met at the campground in Airlie Beach. We spent a great time...

Tinaroo Lake with Millaa Milla Waterfall and Hypipamee Crater

The campground was very nice, I met nice people such as Dylan and Anna there and I also got to see more nature at the Millaa Millaa Waterfall and Hypipamee Crater. Although it...

Mamu Tropical Skywalk

This little hike including a Skywalk platform in the rainforest is attached to Paronella Park, just 30 km further up north. It's a nice lookout and relaxing walk.

Paronella Park

Paronella Park is a very special National Park just a little bit south of Cairns. Nowadays owned an run by Marc, who greets every visitor personally, it was discovered by a...

Rafting in Tully

This Rafting was quite different : instead of one big 12-seater boat, we all got on doubles and I was even alone. That turned out to be an advantage since many other boat teams...

Wallaman Waterfall

A small National Park with a state led campground, Wallaman Waterfalls is one of those oases one barely gets to explore. I was lucky to meet Stacey and Brad there who had also...

Townsville and Magnetic Island

Townsville is the gateway to Magnetic Island, another great scenic landscape one just HAS to visit/see. First, I relaxed a little bit at Alma Beach before I did the so-called...

Airlie Beach

Airlie Beach will always be a very special memory to me. First of all, it was the first stop that made it possible for me to camp out again after a very long time. That you can...

Agnes Water

Agnes Water was a nice little stopover. The hostel, Beachside 1770 YHA if you want to know precisely, was extraordinary: well-equipped communal kitchen and cosy living room,...

Hervey Bay / Fraser Island

Fraser Island was just great. Expensive, but great lol. In order to get onto the island, one actually has to have a 4x4 car, it is not accessible in another way. Therefore,...

Noosa

Noosa is quite touristy and it's obvious why: It has a supernice beach (actualy: beaches) and a National Park that is quite worth visiting. So I did! It is also a spot where the...

Brisbane

I hereby admit: I'm officially fed up with cities :D I did some sightseeing in Brisbane, went to the Townhall and the Botanical Gardens (lol) but actually, I wanted to get out....

Gold Coast/ Tweed Heads

In Tweed Heads I visited Sarah, a friend of mine I got to know exactly 10 years ago in Malaysia. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture but got her dogs on camera instead...

South West Rocks and Muttonbird Island

Those were two short stops on my way to the Gold Coast. Good coffee at South West Rocks and once more phantastic views on Muttonbird Island.

Port Maquarie

Port Macquarie was a wonderful coastal town, with nice views, a great coastal walk and the Coala Hospital, where injured Coalas are being taken care of in order to be sent back...

Newcastle

Newcastle was just a short stop in between and it raaaained. So I just spend one night there. I went to the City Museum (pretty interesting) and walked the local peer. That was...

The Blue Mountains

The Blue Mountains northwest of Sydney are just one amazing National Park. Because of a special constitution, the air is gleaming blue, especially in the mornings (see pictures)....

Melbourne I

Melbourne was a cool city to visit. I stayed in St. Kilda, nearby the beach. There were some museums to visit, I got to play pool in the bar of my hostel and I visited Queen...

The Great Ocean Road

The name says it all: One can follow this road/ highway along the Southern coast of Australia with quite a few stops. I have tons of pictures and can 9nly give a quick glance at...

My 'home'

These pictures were taken on my first day/ night in the camper an that is supposed my home for the next six weeks. It was a pretty cool night but a good start at Moana Beach.

Adelaide

Adelaide was the start of my road trip along the South and East Coast of Australia. Basically, I was there for only two days. It was rainy and a lot of places seemed to be...

Sydney II

Some more pictures from Manly, Bondi Beach (coastal walk), the Australian Museum and the Museum of Contemporary Art

Sydney I

Finally, I am in Australia. Although I was going through health problems that one or the other has to go through as well these days, it was astonishing to be at a famous place...

Los Angeles

Los Angeles was actually my hub for the next big goal... so I thought why not spend a few days there. Well... I was there 30 years ago and I have to say I spoiled my memories a...

Palenque

Words cannot describe the greatness of these Mayan ruins which are so famous and important that they were declared a Unesco World Heritage site in 2015. How much more beautiful...

San Cristobal

San Cristobal was great. We had (again) lots of good food (ice vegan restaurants), visited the huuuuge market, watched an Easter parade, met Vinnie again and visited the Na...
