Time to head into some WA Wildflower Country & although the season is almost over we still saw plenty of magnificent sights including lots of wheat & canola crops almost ready for harvest. Some of the country reminded us of the Lilydale Hills near Winton Qld - stunning countryside. #travelwesttours #wawildflowers #thisiswa #bigtractor #hawesarchitecture #mulewa #mingenew...
Checked out some bars includung the recently opened @bertscitybeach, Margaritas, sunsets & a great lunch @roseandcrownguildford. A visit to Fremantle, was where we continued our interest of shipwrecks on the WA Coast....lots more on this will come soon. #travelwesttours #thisiswa #seeaustralia #washipwrecksmuseum #scarboroughbeach #bertscitybeach #roseandcrownguildford #wabeaches #lovethebeach #bataviaship...
We`ve been enjoying some special time with family, long cuppas by the lake, sitting around the campfire, strolling through the cute town of Nannup. Great lunch @nannupbrewingco, more wildflowers & relaxed drives through the countryside south of Perth. #travelwesttours #thisiswa #seeaustralia #wildflowers #mosaics...
We have just visited Graham`s hometown of Kojonup & took a drive through some of the property once owned by his parents. The crops in the area are excellent & all should have a great harvest soon. Now in Nannup with family & enjoyed a beautiful walk to town via some beautiful wildflowers, crossing over the Blackwood River & look at the pic with flood levels...look right up top at the 1982 flood! #travelwesttours #kojonup #ryansbrook #lucindaseverlastings #nannup #blackwoodriver #thisiswa #wawildflowers...
We had a wonderful 2 nights in Maleeya`s Studio & really enjoyed a walk around the property meeting their chooks & pet Highland Cows & Peter (our host) joining us to introduce us to them & give them a comb. The property commercially grows Bamboo & the other trees & surrounds are beautiful. We look forward to returning one day, spending longer to enjoy the national park walks, local wineries & cafes. #travelwesttours #maleeyasthaicafe ##porongurup #porongurupnationalpark #stirlingranges #granitewalk #freerangechooks #highlanders thisiswa...
We left the beautiful coast & headed inland via Ravensthorpe for lunch and then onto our property stay at Maleeyas Studio Accommodation....didn`t look too flash from outside but it is very tastefully decorated & comfortable with views of Porongurup National Park....loved the fire! A bonus was having a Thai Restaurant on-site. Thai born Maleeya & Swiss born Peter are fabulous hosts. #travelwesttours #porongurup #stirlingranges #maleeyasthaicafe #thisisWA #porongorupnationalpark...
The Great Ocean Drive is a 40km circular loop out of Esperence to explore the coastline. Amazing colours and some massive waves. It`s a very beautiful scenic drive but not a good day for a swim, although we did spot a couple in the water! #travelwesttours #esperence #greatoceandrive #thisiswa...
For a long time, I`ve wanted to come to Esperance & swim in the magnificent turquoise waters but it was too cold & signs about sharks! The colours are truly beautiful & some places reminded me of Norfolk Island with the pine trees. There are some fabulous murals around town & the whale tail sculpture has a lot of coloured glass detail that is hard to capture in a pic. #travelwesttours #esperence #thisiswa #turquoisewaters #whaletailsculputure #murals #tankerjettyesperance...
Departing Caiguna we began the drive across the 90 Mile Straight! After Norseman, the trees by side of the road were quite spectacular....pics taken as we drove the road to Esperance. We finished the day with a delicious cocktail & jagged watching a magnificent moonrise. More pics of beautiful Esperence to come! #travelwesttours #90milestraight #beautifulopenroads #flora #esperence #seeaustralia #thisisWA...
Travelling across the Nullarbor was a rainy day & not good for capturing good pics.....so we`ll try again on our return to showcase the Great Australian Bight! We went from Penong SA to Caiguna WA - easy going thru quarantine when you remember not to bring `food stuff` inc honey with you. We stayed at the John Ayr Motel (part of Caiguna Roadhouse) that was built in 1962 to offer accommodation for those travelling across the Nullabor for Perth Commonwealth Games. Wasn`t sure looking from outside but rooms spacious, very clean & comfy....even had undercover parking! Fantastic dinner & service. #travelwesttours #nullabor #nullaborplain #caiguna #seesouthaustralia #seeaustralia #thisisWA...
Leaving Orroroo, we dropped by to see the Giant Red Gum, the Goyder`s Line plaque, & then enjoyed beautiful countryside before travelling through Horrocks Pass. The other side of Horrocks Pass takes us through Port Augusta & a massive change of scenery with all the wind turbines! The solo tower is quite amazing as it is a major piece of infrastructure for Sundrop Farms a major supplier for Coles Supermarkets - a high-tech, solar-powered greenhouse that uses concentrated solar power and a desalination plant to grow high-quality truss tomatoes year-round using sustainable methods, reducing the need for fossil fuels, fresh water, and fertile soil. We then went on to overnight at Penong & watch the Broncos 🥳 #travelwesttours #giantredgum #goydersline #portaugusta #sundropfarms #kimba #bigpinkgalah #penongwindmills #seesouthaustralia...
It was a lovely drive to our overnight stop at the pub in Orroroo.....scenery stunning & yes, we`re loving all the wildflowers & wild gazanias! We enjoyed a stroll up & down the main street and chatted to the local policeman`s wife, who is Dutch & besides growing beautiful Lavender, has planted some tulips! #travelwesttours #orroroo #flindersranges #seesouthaustralia #gazanias #wildflowers...
From Cunnamulla, we headed to South Australia via Bourke - old bridge across the Darling River, part of the facade at Riverside Motel where we have stayed many times with groups, Cobar, Wilcannia - some beautiful sandstone buildings, Broken Hill - the Palace Hotel, & the amazing wild colourful gazanias that some locals call `weeds`! #travelwesttours #bourke #wilcannia #brokenhill #peterborough #seeaustralia...
After a fabulous year showcasing Outback Queensland & Lake Eyre, Travel West is now travelling west to Western Australia! We`d love to share some of the sights with you, beginning in Cunnamulla, where Travel West started back on 1 October 1997. The magnificent Cunnamulla Fella was unveiled 20 years ago on 18 November 2005 with great celebrations! #travelwesttours #visitcunnamulla #outbackqueensland #cunnamullafella #outbacksunsets #emuchicks #thisisqueensland...
Some highlights from the past 2 days on our Lake Eyre experience from Brisbane. This is our final flight for 2025 and if there`s good summer rains in the catchment, we look forward to sharing these amazing sights with others in 2026. #travelwesttours #birdsville #birdsvillehotel #birdsvillebakery #lakeeyre #outbackqueensland #outbackaustralia...
Another spectacular day flightseeing over Lake Eyre! #travelwestoutbacktours #travelwesttours #lakeeyre #outbackqueensland #outbackaustralia #outbacksouthaustralia...
Another fabulous group joined us to experience a major @outbackqueensland event! @birdsvilleraces 2025 didn`t disappoint with the OBE Marquee serving delicious food & drinks. The staff & TAB are excellent & we look forward to sharing this event again in 2026 & enjoying a few drinks & live music @birdsvillehotel. Best way is to fly in & fly out with @travelwesttours #travelwesttours #birdsvilleraces #birdsvillehotel #diamantinashire #aerlink #visitqueensland #birdsvilleracesobemarquee...
