Hallo,
The last week I was snorkelling with sharks and mantas, was lying in the sun getting roasted, drove many kilometers and was fascinated by the landscape.
Did you know that there are so many different forms of "Nothing":
Sand with rocks
Sand without rocks
Sand with bushes
Red Sand
White Sand
Sand with Grass and dead trees
Grass and bushes
Gras and Grass Trees
Bushes and rocks
...
Everywhere when you drive up north, there are hundreds of kilometers where there is not a living soul, no house, no gas station, no...nothing...
That's where you don't want to have a breakdown.
It was really very hot the last days (up to 45-48°C) and the wind felt like a hot hair blow dryer held agains your face.
But one thing you at least could rely on was, the sun will be there next morning. I had two days where there were a few clouds up in the sky, but they were gone by 9am..no chance against the sun.
Approaching Perth again, the bushes got bigger and greener, till there finally turned to trees again and the rivers sometimes actually were filled with some water again.
I visited Dryandra Woodlands and enjoyed looking at those cute little native marsupials, which are nearly extinct now in Australia :-).
Unfortunately they are active only during the night, so the pictures are not good, but at least a glimpse.
In Rockingham - Penguin Island I spotted some "little penguins" :-).
I am back in Perth now and returned the car. On the 16th I will fly to Auckland.
Here are the pictures for Coral Bay, Shark Bay, Coral Coast!
Sending you regards, and I hope you are all well!
