Our next flight was again with Virgin Blue, as we thought it would be a good idea to not fly with one airline continuously, back in October when we booked the tickets. As expected, our flight was delayed, but only by half an hour, so that wasn’t too bad. The flight itself was fine and [...]

We arrived late in the evening, because of a delay, so we didn’t see much of Perth the first day we were there. The next morning we walked to Kings Park. Kings Park is located just outside downtown Perth, but it is still only a 30 minute walk to it and because it was sunny [...]

The two major airlines offering domestic flights in Australia are Qantas and Virgin Blue. Our previous domestic flights were operated by Qantas, but this one was operated by Virgin Blue. Virgin Blue, on average, is a little bit cheaper than Qantas and since this was the first time we’d fly with them, we were a [...]

Jewel of the Kimberley, largest town in Western Australia north of Broome and just a great place to spend 3 hours while waiting for your plane to be repaired after a rough landing.

Well, never might be a bit exaggerated, but the chances of seeing rain when you’re there are slim at best. We, of course, had two days of rain, we were just very lucky I guess. Except us and some other tourists, everyone was actually very excited about the rain, even our tour guides later on [...]

Five in the morning is a godawful time to leave the comfort of your bed and head for the shower, but we were going to be picked up at ten minutes past six, so we really had no choice. Although we were at the pickup spot in front of our hotel at 6.05, Adventure Tours [...]

Our second Cathay Pacific flight was again excellent, the superb service and seating make you almost forget that you are in an airplane at all. We enjoyed a glass of wine, had a good meal and watched a movie or two, while the plane made its way to Brisbane. The descent to the airport was [...]

On November 28th 2008 we’ll visit the horizontal falls in Broome. After looking for some helicopter, aerial, hovercraft or just good old 4WD tours we found a pretty unique one. We’ll fly with a Seaplane to the Horizontal Waterfalls. They call it the horizontal falls because of the strong current.

October 31st. Has a magical ring to it, hasn’t it? Our thoughts exactly, so we picked this day to be the first day of our, somewhat lengthy, holiday. So what are you guys going to see and do anyway, one might ask and, if so, one would be asking a very good and important question. We’re [...]
