Don’t you love it when you explore a new area and you have no expectations and therefore you don’t get disappointed.
Dixie loves taking every 4wd track he spots and we often end up on a great adventure.
Whilst we were in Denmark, WA we headed down the South Coast Highway, saw a sign to Boat Harbour and figured it was worth checking out. Heading down the gravel road we spotted a track so we decided to head down it and found ourselves in Quarram Nature Reserve.
Denmark in Western Australia (414kms south east of Perth) is a town I can see myself living in. It has a real hippie care free vibe to the place. I can see myself set up with a few acres and being self sufficient. Dixie will fit in straight away with his dreadlocks, I just need to sew up some bohemian pants for him!
Surfing at Ocean Beach, rediscovering Greens Pool and Elephant Cove has made my love for Denmark grow even more.
Greens Pool is located 15km west of Denmark in William Bay National Park. It is paradise but as we were there during the christmas break it was packed with holiday makers! We had to park miles away and walk down to the beach but it was well worth it.Read More »
Albany in Western Australia is filled with stunning beaches and so much of the coast line has crystal clear water, rocks on the beach and large hills going down to the water.
The nature reserve is located 35 kilometers east of Albany (450km south of Perth) and there are so many different beaches to explore and lots of camp grounds located on the beach.
Little beach has the brightest turquoise waters and the whitest sand I have ever seen. Looking at the waves the water is transparent you can see straight through the wave.Read More »
Dixie handed me a wrapped small square box for my birthday. When I opened it I was confused to find some surfboard wax as I was expecting a necklace I had been eyeing off. It was then revealed to me that I had a surf lesson booked in Denmark, Western Australia.
Arriving at Ocean Beach I was excited and nervous. My last attempt at surfing was in Bali and I fractured my foot so I was hoping that this lesson would have a better outcome.Read More »
Ten days in the country is like heaven to me. I crave wide open spaces, fresh country air and the laid back country lifestyle.
The children love having the space and freedom to roam the property, pick fruit and visit the animals.Read More »

Sandy Cape Recreational Park just north of Jurien Bay (223 kms north of Perth) was a spot that farmers often camped at and the land was used by squatters. In the 1920’s they erected makeshift shacks but in 2002 the shacks were removed and Sandy Cape became a Recreational Camping Area opening in December 2004. It is now a very popular camping area and we often spend time camping here.Read More »
While we were camped at Lake Towerrinning we took a little trip out to Six Mile Cottage. The cottage is set in a paddock 10 kilometers north west of Darkan on the Quindanning Road.
When you set your eyes upon the quaint cottage it feels like you are the first person to discover the loan cottage.Read More »
Lake Towerrinning seemed to appear out of nowhere and it looked like an oasis after driving in the dry Australian country side. I was surprised at the size of the lake (256 hectares) as it was much larger than I expected. It is a semi-freshwater lake and is a popular spot for swimming, water skiing, kayaking and picnics. The lake is also home to long neck turtles and over 171 species of birds.Read More »
As soon as we turned off the highway onto a gravel road our adventure at Boshack Outback began. Looking in the rear-view mirror I could see a cloud of red dust, ahead paddocks and bushland. Needing to jump out of the car to open and close the farm gates made me realise we were about to experience an authentic farm stay.
