Oz III - grande finale 06 . 06 . 09

Getting closer to the end of Australia now. Seen above is just a sunset walk in the gorges of Exmouth. Simply beautiful.

Exmouth is west coast paradise of snorkelling. That polaroidish quality of the picture above is not photoshop but a cheap underwater camera i bought. Didn’t get many good pictures with it cause of lack of light on these days, but just take it from me - if you’re patient enough, you can see everything starting from sharks, tortoises and finishing every fish seen on the Nemo movie.

There are colorful fish beneath my arm. You just need to look very hard..

This one above is a regular humpback whale doing its thing in the water.

And the king of it all. A whale shark. Without exaggerating it’s a 20 feet beast who’s ready to eat! And me (..and 20 other wealthy tourists who paid more than $300 to encounter with this one behind me..) no more than 3 meters from it. I guess there’s not many places in the world where you can see something like that.

And next day after leaving Exmouth we found this awesome track that wasn’t mentioned in any tourist booklet or guide. It was like a walking track along the tip of the mountains. I mean.. wow! We have to take it, said all the estonians.

The sign didn’t stop us for a second.

After a decent 2 hours of walking on the edge of the world I think we all felt that this was like a walk of a lifetime. There’s just something thrilling about doing this on a half a meter wide rocky track, having a decent 500m of fall on both sides without any fences or any other touristy things that would keep you alive. Just you and your two feet leading the way. Super cool!

And this is where our tanking saga continues. Smile on Kalle’s face is from the fact that this is the point where we found out that the gas tank for our Commodore isn’t actually 60 liters, but definitely more than 63,75 liters. Fuel indicator had been below 0 level for the last 80km. Lucky? yes.

Serving my gratitude towards Morris dry white. Hope you Ines and Craig still remember that from our nights in Melbourne.

Followed by local nature in Karijini National Park.

These red gravel roads have something very australiash in them. Can’t explain.

80 mile beach. Plain sand and shallow Indian Ocean as far as your eye can see.

And somewhere in the middle of nowhere we finally needed our spare can of fuel.

Next stop - the Kimberlys. Most talked about and presumably most beautiful region of WA. With a small note - most roads considered 4WD only. Khmhmh. Problem for us? Mk-mm.

Beacause these 4WD roads take you to places where the aboriginal ancestors had once done their cave-drawings for example.

Or into the shallow waters together with fresh-water crocs.

Or bring you the views like this.

It’s kind of place where you are really in the outback. No cell coverage around 500km. No traffic at night-time and maybe few cars an hour in daytime. If something happens to you here - let’s say an unpleasant encounter with a spider or a snake of deadly kind - then you’re.. in deep shit (of deadly kind also). Life can be fragile here if you think about it. So it’s best if you just don’t think of it.

I was told that it was not healthy to take photos of aboriginals, so this one is probably the only decent one I managed to get. From our car or course with 300mm tele-zoom focal length.

A bush-fire!

After our last night in Broome (keywords Cable beach, Passion Pop, Tooheys Extra Dry and australian fine wine). Our last hangover. Our last common breakfast with Ele’s copyrighted very special pancakes, Homebrand bacon, tomato, sour cream, jam and freenut butter (kind of healthy version of peanut butter, a classic!).

Cable beach in Broome.

Our last sunset.

And this is it. Australia is done for me. Finished. Over for this time. To sum it all up - nice trip, nice people, will come back here!

Next stop - South-East Asia!
