Once again re-planning, but that seems to be normal for us. 🙂 Originally we planned to stay one night at the Santa Rosa section and two nights at Carnarvon gorge, but in the end we decided to stay two days at Santa Rosa and three at Carnarvon gorge. The Santa […]

…of Queensland and it is still absolutely amazing out here. Not so many other people and no tourists from overseas at all (beside the two of us). The days in Diamantina NP were really nice and the sunset on the last evening made it not too easy for us to […]
Diamantina NP was not on our plan at all, but from Porcupine Gorge it was “just” a 570 kilometre drive away, so we decided to have a look, as we heard some nice things about this national park. But just after leaving, we had a need for a photo stop […]

Heading back south from the cape, the rain hit us unfortunately again so there was not so much we could do. At least we know now why they call it “Wet Tropics World Heritage Area”. Wallaman Falls in Girrigun NP are really beautiful, highest falls in Australia; still we were […]

Leaving Lakefield NP towards Iron Range NP was not too easy; we still had a lot of bird life in the morning, so the time passed by. On top of that, every now and then it happens that you miss 100km on a map and by doing so, you don’t […]
