17.01.2022 Trails Tuesday We haven't done a Trails Tuesday in awhile so lets share some pics from our last hike on The Loop Trail in Kalbarri, Western Australia What an amazing experience, first time doing this particular trail do and it did not let us down, We were really glad we started off early because boy does the temperature get warm down in the gorges. Layers came off pretty quickly and we could see why peoples health and well-being can easily decline down there....in fa...ct, sad to say but people have actually died due to lack of water and exposure to the elements so please make sure you are well prepared. Signage throughout is a reminder that Heat Kills!! Note: due to heat, the Loop Trail is closed after 7am from November to March inclusive. The Loop Walk is a challenging yet spectacular trail that highlights the erosive power of the Murchison River, which has carved magnificent gorges through the landscape to reveal the red and white banded rock. This 9km hike will take you along the edge of the cliffs, with views across the river, before working its way down to the river bank. Here, you can find sandy beaches, river gums and some technical rock scrambles, before the trail loops around and climbs out of the gorge back to Nature's Window Kalbarri is absolutely breathtaking. Wander out Yonder and experience this ancient gorge in all it's glory https://trailswa.com.au/trails/loop-walk Trails WA Explore Parks WA Australia's Coral Coast Western Australia Kalbarri, Western Australia

14.01.2022 R U O K Have you seen the mural along Albany Highway that was painted to add to a broader creative project aimed at raising awareness about mental health, to reflect The Blue Tree Project. ... Blue With A View is a support group based in Mt Barker. They created this mural on a water tank on local Glen Clode’s property, located a few metres before Gilberts Wines in Kendenup, on the left. It was a combined effort by residents Lyn Hambley, Kym Stoneham and Helen Andrijasevic and took approximately 15 hours to paint What we hope is that people will see it as they are driving, and that they will check in with the person next to them and ask, ‘Are you okay?’, Ms Hambley said. Because it’s okay not to be okay. The Amazing South Coast Western Australia Mount Barker, Western Australia Blue Tree Project Ruokday.com/

08.01.2022 Australians are known for thinking 'they've been everywhere man' but have you really been everywhere man Who is familiar with the Cave Point LighthouseAlmost everyone drives straight past it with their sights set on 'The Gap' but seriously this should not be missed Located near Cable Beach in Albany, it was the first navigational light for the Port of Albany and the second lighthouse to be built on the Western Australian coastline. The cylindrical 12m high concrete tower, ...whilst no longer in use, retains its importance as the site of a satellite ground receiver station that forms part of the International Satellite-aided Search and Rescue System that detects emergency beacon activated distress signals or automatic detection when a vessel sinks or a plane crashes Just one of the many cool facts and more you'll be privvy to when you jump on our Torndirrup National Park Rugged Coast TourLet us show you some of these iconic hidden gems that often get pushed aside for the bigger attractions.
