RVing Up North in the WA

I'm alive, in one piece, and back from an amazing road trip. Words nor pictures do not do this road trip justice. Three RVs were off with 19 Americans up the coast of Western Australia. Letting 19, 21 year old Americans take 3 RVs was a mistake on apollo's part. So much traveling and fun was packed into just 8 days. We hiked through valleys and gorges of national parks and snorkeled off the coast of WA's coral reefs. We saw sunset upon sunset and each one had it's own characteristics. We saw the pinnacles and waterfalls... the list goes on. College students are too cheap to pay for campsites, so for the majority of the nights, we stayed at truck stops on the side of the road. We frequently pulled over to use the outback as a restroom and our frequent pull-overs often turned into late night dance parties in the middle of the highway. When we drove, there were barely anyone on the outback roads. We mostly just saw semi's and trucks hauling various things to randomly placed towns in the outback. I can't really describe how beautiful Western Australia is, so the photos are there as an aid. Over all, friendships were made, experiences were had, and these memories will dwell with us for a lifetime.  

Two RVs ahead of us on the outback road.


We saw so many animals. Kangaroos, COWS, dingos, Too many to count. I am surprised we did not hit anything. We got so lucky. 

This was my favorite park out of all of the parks we went to.



The only campsite we stayed at along the way.




Happy hour at coral Bay, This was the most touristy place we went.

So many different sunsets!

so Beautiful

Back at home cleaning off the RV. Many did that RV need cleaning!

There was a point in the trip where I could not bring my camera because we had to rock climb and then swim through gorges. However, my friend joe had his GOPRO which is an underwater camera that he wears on his head. I will try and upload some of those videos because those places are my favorite I went. This trip made me realize just how big Australia really is and how much it had to offer. It is so gorgeous and I really can't do it all. I would love to make it back here someday. I will take Western Australia with me always.
