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 #seewesternaustralia...
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...
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 #visitqueensland...
