Thread: West Aus., touring options

Just watched a dvd which highlighted Murchison house station, W.A., and took in the trip up to Steep point, the most westerly point of Aus. looked absolutely magnificent!.West. Aussies. have obviously kept this place secret [ cant say I blame them] Anyone done this trip? Bob

[QUOTE=justinc;1457227]Bob10,

"I used to live over that side of the country, I have been to Steep point,(Came off my DR650RS and broke my left foot there), fished off Dirk Hartog Isl, camped and fished from Quobba Stn and Coral Bay, Exmouth etc and you won't believe the colour of the water and the scenery until you see it for yourself, Get that bucket out and tip it on its end. Lifes too short.

Camping and fishing along the Ningaloo reef rd from Coral bay up to Cape range and Exmouth was one of my most memorable trips, ever. Did it once in a vehicle, and then on my Bike.

Just go and do it."


The wheels are in motion to do just that, it will be a slow process, I retired two years ago, mostly self funded from super, but recently lined up some part time work, to pay for work on my D2 , and put a bank together. My wife retires in a couple of years [ if I can convince her ], and that is about the timescale I'm looking at. Tasmania is on the list, as is the Blue train trip in South Africa.With what I can save, and some of her super it will be doable. I have seen that part of Aust. from a patrol boat based in Darwin, but really keen to see it from the land. I intend to take a tinny on top of my trailer, to get amongst the fish. Bob.
