ITINERARY
Day
1
Our adventure
begins north from Adelaide. Depending on the weather conditions
we include a bush walk in the southern Flinders Ranges.
We stop off along the way to take in typical rural cities
and towns. At the end of the first day's journey we stay
either in a bush camping setting or during winter an Aussie
farm retreat staying in updated shearer's quarters. (LD)
Day 2
After
a short drive we board the MV Investigator for a 4-5 hr cruise
(own cost at $100 Inc GST). It's a relaxing day viewing
and swimming with dolphins and Australian sea lions.
We visit the famous Murphy's Haystacks 'the weird and
wonderful - 100,000 year old granite inselbergs shaped by
the sands of time.
Time permitting we head back to Coodlie Park Farm Retreat
to view a spectacular sun set at a secluded beach. Our hosts
Hassie, Jo and family then conduct a nocturnal spotlighting
tour looking for Australia's National Emblems 'Kangaroos,
Wombats and Emus. (BLD)
Day 3
Optional
Experience 'Scenic Flight - 120 Kilometres of magnificent
rugged coastline between Coodlie Park and Ceduna ($140.00
per person minimum 3 people)
We travel further along the West coast of South Australia,
and after a short stop at Ceduna we check out the surf at
one of Australia's best surf beaches 'Cactus Beach'.
You can do a coastal walk along some rugged coastline or relax
with a book on a remote beach. Later in the afternoon we head
for the tiny historical settlement of Fowlers Bay, adjacent
to massive sand dunes. We finish off the day with some extreme
fun sand boarding. (BLD)
Day 4
Leaving
Fowlers Bay behind we cross the dingo fence, travel through
Yalata Aboriginal lands and drive onto the Nullarbor Plain.
In season [June 'October] the Southern Right Whales migrate
to the Head of the Bight. Up to 100 of these amazing mammals
can be seen from the scenic lookouts.
Outside of the whale season you will not be disappointed with
the spectacular coastline and viewing platforms that showcase
the majestic Nullarbor Cliffs. We stop at the famous wombat/camel/kangaroo
road sign and call into old Eucla, a telegraph town buried
by sand dunes! (BLD)
Day 5
Get ready
for some adventurous caving (bring a torch) because today
we are going deep beneath the Nullarbor and you can even have
a swim in an underground lake. We travel through some real
outback country and it will certainly give you a sense of
the size of the vast and ancient land. (BLD)
Please note:- Caving as been stopped for the interim by CALM
'Western Australia's National Parks on account of floods
and overall safety. Nullarbor Traveller are looking for another
caving alternatives. In the interim the tour includes playing
part of the "Nullarbor Golf Links" an 18 hole golf course
that starts at Ceduna and ends in Kalgoorlie 'playing golf
in the middle of nowhere! (BLD)
Day 6
We arrive
in Esperence (our first bit of civilization for some time)
and while we restock supplies you can look around this beautiful
seaside port.
We set up camp for the next two nights only metres away from
a picture postcard beach in the Cape Le Grand National Park,
and the sandy beaches and crystal clear water.
A late afternoon hike up the granite formation known as 'Frenchman
Peak' rewards you with fantastic views of the bays and islands
of the Recherche Archipelago. (BLD)
Day 7
We have
another full day to enjoy this beautiful spot and it's totally
up to you how you want to spend your day.
There are some stunning coastal walks, you may like to swim,
boogie board, snorkel, fish or just relax while lying on a
pure white sandy beach (you might have to share the beach
with a local kangaroo or two). (BLD)
Day 8
We leave
early and head for the Stirling Range or Fitzgerald River
National Park, where we will do one of the many walks on offer.
We like to keep today flexible as there are so many great
spots to visit, the guide will decide the best route on the
day.
We arrive into our overnight destination at Porongurup before
sampling some award winning wines and settling down to a vineyard
platter. (BLD)
Day 9
The landscape
changes dramatically as we head into the heart of the southern
Eucalypt forests of W.A. We walk the talk on the tree top
walk at the 'Valley of the Giants'; a unique structure that
takes you up into the canopy of a very ancient and special
eucalypts called Red Tingle trees. In the afternoon we climb
one of the giant Karri trees that once used as a fire lookout.
Our last bit of the nearly 4000 km journey gives you a chance
to reflect on the experiences over the last nine action packed
days as we head for Western Australia's capital Perth. (BL)
