Boat harbour in the Owingup Naturereseve

One of the best bush campsites we found so far.

Brekkie (breakfast) in paradise.

Impressions from our hiking tour on the bibbulmun track (this track goes from Perth to Albany) in the nature reserve.

The "Australian Schubi" (Schubi is the postman in Weißenbrunn) can´t drive to every house. We found this on our way to Albany.

A day in Warren National Park - Marroning and tree climbing

A cool beer, a camping chair, 27°, a nice river and the fishing gear in the river to catch some Marrons. AWESOME!!!

After 1 hour Jo caught his first Marron.

Jo was very proud. We were both very curious and hungry, so... 

... we immediately started to prepare our little, tasty friend.

Boil'em 7 minutes and he will be allright!

Delicious!

After fishing it was time for some physical exercise. No worries, Eva was not climbing up with her thongs as she was too afraid of the height of 90meters.

So Jo had to climb up this lookout tree that somehow didn´t fit on one picture.

First it started with big nails that build a kind of corkscrew stairs around the tree. In the top of the tree you found those ladders and platforms in  between.

Can you see Eva? It is crazy without any safety rope

But the view is magnificent.

Pemberton - Moon Crossing Campsite

Five avocados for two dollars! Awesome!

Cheers! (Don´t tell anybody but the campfire is illegal at this time of the year in WA!)

Eva was preparing pizza!

Our pizza oven in the coals! A really awesome, crunchy pizza! We have never had a better selfmade pizza!

In the night came our little and cute friend the Common Brushtail Possum. We called him Waschi and he was not shy at all. He also liked our pizza.

Back again with animals, nature and barbie

 

The Western Bobtail - in one week we saw 37 of them!

A harmless animal! 

 

But nevertheless he behaved like a croco.  

 

The most dangerous animal in Australia has a barbie. 

 

Harmless sunset!

 

Moon landscape near Bremer Bay

 

 

 

Last but not least... You will not believe but this is the most dangerous spider in Australia. The female Redback Spider. Eva luckily found her on our camp chair. This spider can kill old and weak people! The size of the spider´s body is only 5 to 10mm. If you want to know more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redback_spider  

The first days of our trip

 

This is also OZ... Green and wet. 

 

Canebreakpool in the Rapids Conservation park. The swimming was awesome! 

 

Here in WA is no flood at the moment. We are far away from Queensland and Victoria. 

 

Where is the man in the moon? 

 

Where is the Effi on the road? 

 

Effi in the bathroom! This black solar shower bag is working very well! 

The first 4WD drive to the Jasper Beach

 

For us it was unbelievable that a car can drive on the sand without any problem... 

 

Awesome! A beach only for us! 

 

It´s fun!!! 

 

Driving on the beach... 

 

But it´s not so much fun to dig the lady out of the sand. In the end it was not necessary to dig her out. There came a nice Australian guy and showed us how to drive up the sand dune. 

 

Also Eva helped! 

The Car - Lady G-Spot

The first deal in 2011 was to find a car that will be our home for the next year and that will bring us to every awesome spot in whole Australia. This means: We need a 4WD car! Our favorite was a Toyota Landcruiser 80 Series or a Nissan Patrol.
After looking at some cars together with Simone (Simone has a lot of knowledge of 4WD cars. Thanks for helping us!) we found after 10 days our Lady with the name G-Spot.
Why G-Spot??? First of all all cars are female in Australia! Then the pre-owner put on the windscreen a sticker with his second name Garfield. Disgusting! So we took of all the Garfield shit and left the G and the dot on the i on the windscreen: This is the little story of the name of our car. But now the pictures of the lady...

 

Here the facts for the G Spot:

Engine: 4.2 Liter, 6 cylinders, diesel

129hp @ 3800rpm

285Nm @ 2200rpm 

main tank: 95 liter

sub tank: 50 liter

fuel consumption: ~12,5liter/100ks

2inch lift kit

heavy duty suspension (OldManEmu)

bull bar

 side steps

roof rack

roof tent

awning

UHF radio

external antenna for mobile phone  

fishing gear holder

additional front spotlights

drawer system in the trunk

integrated compressor to pump up the tires after a ride on the beach or a sandy track

snorkel for driving through the water 

last but not least a sound system with an extra equalizer

 

A nice car for the trip of our life! 

 

New Years Eve or back again in Perth

After our last work day we went back to Perth via Hitchhiking. 500ks and no problem. After 30min waiting on the Great Northern Highway a guy from Port Hedland picked us up and brought us to Perth. There we had the New Years Eve party in the garden from Simone and Scotty together with Simone and Stefan from Würzburg.

 

What to say, what to say... It was a typical New Years Eve party with a barbie, a lot of beer and no private firework. This is forbidden in Australia because of the fire danger. So the motto was: Get pissed! ;-) 

 

Maybe this was at midnight... We can´t remember... 

 

Simone... But drinking beer was not possible!  

 

The other Simone. Simones don´t like to be photographed  

 

Eva was freezing... Den Säufer und den Hurenbock frierts im größten Unterrock...

;-) 

 

... at this temperatures! This was around 1am!
