​From one of extreme to another! 14-16 August 2017

Steep Point, WA 2017  Hooray we made it! (still working on perfecting the selfies)

We made it to Steep Point! The most western point on the Australian continent! 280 odd Km there and back, up and over sand dunes, across clay pans, along beaches and rocky outcrops and through sand dune heathland. It was awesome and Lindsay got us there are back! Brilliant driving and a brilliant car. An exciting day!

Some place we felt like we were driving through the Sahara. Great rolling expanses of sand dunes with not a stick of vegetation.

At times we had to take a stab at choosing which track to take. Fortunately we only made one wrong turn. 

Lots of deep sand track to reach this wind swept rocky point. Lindsay did an amazing job.

We've now driven to all the cardinal points of Australia - next?
So many many roads to drive, so many rivers to cross tra la la. We have tackled some of the more challenging roads - Oodnadatta, Birdsville, the road to 'The Tip', Gibb River Road, the Savannah Way (mild), road to Steep Point, Cattle Water Pass (though Harts Range - road now closed!), the Tuwakam track. And circumnavigated Australia on Hwy 1. Took us a few years but we completed the circuit when we arrived at Shark Bay - and we celebrated with champers of course!

Next on the list is the 1000 odd km Tanami Track - in a few weeks time! We are very excited at the prospect. Just threw the next couple of pix in for interest - I don't have a pic for the most eastern point but we'll go back there sometime and then ......

We drove to the 'end of the road' at Cockle Creek. There are no roads further south so we walked to South Cape Bay, Tasmania 2013  We didn't venture down onto the beach the cliffs were too scary.
