Travel. Because; why not?
The hen's weekend started after my night out in Sydney. I woke up quite dusty, but I had to pull myself together, so Brenna and I had a small breakfast at the hotel, packed up our stuff and parted ways. She's such a good egg. I jumped in an Uber to the hire car company …
A whirlwind trip to New South Wales for a friends hens weekend in the Hunter Valley was the big plan, but first; a night in Sydney to see the bright lights of Vivid! ...but as it turns out, things don't always go to plan. I landed in Sydney at sunset, after a 4 hour flight …
We decided that the trip from Exmouth to Perth was just too much, so we booked a quick stop in Kalbarri to see us through. We drove and drove and drove... and pee'd on the side of the road a couple of times (read, a lot of the time...) until we FINALLY arrived at Kalbarri. …
Our last day in Exmouth was spent exploring. Our original plan was to head down the Coral Bay, up Yardie Creek Road, through Turquoise Bay to the top of the Cape to watch the sunset. Unfortunately we had heard the Yardie Creek Crossing was washed away after the last cyclone. We decided to have a …
I'll start with this: the Navy Pier is the best dive I've ever been on. Ever. Once again with Dive Ningaloo, we headed out to the Harold E Holt Naval Communications Station in their cool little bus to get ready for what was promised to be an awesome dive. Dive Ningaloo are the only company …

Our second dive of the day at Lighthouse Bay, after Blizzard Ridge, was at the Labyrinth dive site. We were told we could expect turtles and a lot of colourful reef fish. We weren't disappointed! Dive Ningaloo and Ningaloo Reef delivered the goods! Check out all the amazing fish and turtles in the below video! …

After our snorkel with Ningaloo Whale Shark Swim we were super excited to do our dives with Dive Ningaloo. We chose Dive Ningaloo for two reasons; they did a super good deal with the whale shark swim, and they are the only company who can dive the Navy Pier. I'll blog about that one later. …

Our next stop after Monkey Mia was Exmouth for some serious mermaid time, but first, we had to conquer the Shark Bay to Exmouth drive. We had a lunch stop in Carnarvon, but mostly it was long, straight, flat roads again. We got into Exmouth with enough time to drop our dive gear off at …
Our first morning in Monkey Mia we wandered down to the beach to see the dolphin feed. The dolphins showed up right on time! We were lucky enough to visit while there was a baby dolphin, which was born the previous Friday. So small! A turtle visited too! We got back to our camp set …
It was a really, really long road to Monkey Mia. We left home around 5am, to make sure we beat any city traffic. It was a pretty quiet drive until our first stop in Lancelin - Matty was just too sleepy to respond to my excitement. Once we got to Lancelin sand dunes we drove …
