Coral Coast adventures
We’re back from the most fantastic, eye-opening trip ever!
We went on a self-drive up the Coral Coast of Western Australia – from Perth, to Cervantes, Geraldton, Kalbarri, Shark Bay, Denham and finally, Monkey Mia!
Thanks to the kind sponsorship and arrangements made by Tourism Western Australia, Red Spot Car Rentals and Jetstar, we experienced and saw so many fascinating things that we can’t wait to share with you all. We also met tremendously friendly people who were all so passionate about what they do – like Capes the aboriginal tour guide, Nic the manager at Monkey Mia Dolphin Resort, Brianna and David from Australia’s Coral Coast, Barbara at the tourist information office at Kalbarri, and many more.
Here’s a small preview collage of some nature photos I took on my iPhone. Enjoy! There’s more to come!

Inspired by nature (from top left): A beautiful spring scene in the Chapman Valley; Hutt Lagoon (yes, it's really pink!), on the way to Port Gregory; the Murchison River in Kalbarri National Park; leaning tree along the road on the way to Geraldton. All taken in Western Australia, September 2010.
