The clearness of the water will astound you. (This is Oyster Stacks) |
6. Caving at Naracoorte- For a unique
experience, we went caving at Naracoorte. It was a fun experience,
with all the squeezing through tight spaces making sure we all kept nice and thin!. Some
of the challenges were quite a tight squeeze. It was definitely a
good novelty. As we were about to start the car to drive away from the caves, the car broke down.
7. Snorkelling at Ningaloo- Now the
Great Barrier Reef is pretty well known, but what about Ningaloo. For
a fraction of the cost (literally $26/n to camp there and visit the
snorkeling sites), the
snorkeling there is the best we have seen.
The variety of fish is great. Turquoise bay was a great snorkelling
site, with the ability to just float there as the current takes you
along ( A post in more detail here).
Perth High Ropes |
8. High ropes at Perth- Now this was an
adrenaline rush! Walking 10m above the ground on a tightrope,
climbing, and jumping around up there is definitely fun! We got to go
on twice, and the second time with more confidence under our belt we
almost raced across it. The tightrope was definitely the most fun, as
you slowly and carefully put one foot in front of the other. Jumping
off into empty space was probably the hardest challenge, as you took
the flying fox down. It's completely different from stepping out on
anything (Post here in more detail)!
9. Kayaking up Katherine Gorge-
Katherine Gorge was sort of the must-see things that we did. We only
had to hire one kayak luckily, as we already had two. While kayaking
up there Joel managed to catch a monster catfish, which pulled him up
and down the gorge. We only kayaked for a short while, but the gorge
walls awed us into silence.

10. Seeing the 12 apostles/ Great ocean
Road- We had seen the twelve apostles before this trip, in 2008, but we
decided to go again and view the twelve apostles. It was just on
sunset, apparently the best time to view them, and when we hopped out
of the car we joined the stream of tourists down to the 12 apostles.
There was definetly plenty of foreign tourists. As a different idea,
we busked on the way to the 12 apostles, figuring that with all the
people it might be a good idea. It wasn't too good, but when we
finished we moved up to the viewing platform and nearly got blown
away! The wind was howling like anything!! We snapped a few photos
and then went on, glad to see the 12 apostles (actually only 8 now)
ticked off our list of 'must see popular tourist destinations'.
