Western Australia – my home
I love getting out of the city and exploring my state. I live in one of the most remote cities in the world and it’s the biggest state in Australia, covering nearly one third of the country. There is great beauty from the Kimberley’s in the north and down to Margaret River and further down south
So much of the scenery is breathtaking and varies from crystal blue ocean to deep red/ochre rock formations. So much of the place is remote and you really feel the vastness when travelling.
The critters aren’t always friendly and you need to watch out for the bitey ones! Don’t worry, I surely did not get too close to this one! That’s why you need the zoom option on the phone camera! There are warnings to keep clear of croc habitats and don’t worry, the intense heat (usually in the high 30s-40s [celsius] or 90+ degrees (farenheit) is never hot enough for me to think of sharing the water with the local wildlife!

Down South of Western Australia:
I love travelling down south, there are so many gorgeous towns to visit as you meander along the coastline or inland for a different perspective. Margaret River is one of my favourite places, best to visit in the off-season as it does get a lot of tourists, local, interstate and overseas and can get a bit hectic.
They have the best wineries in Margaret River and there are also some interesting critters to be seen. These stingrays are kinda friendly and can be found close to the shoreline in Hamelin Bay. They are a protected species and you should not get too close to them or step on them, but you can be in the water whilst they are swimming around nearby and they will approach you as they are curious. They are pretty docile and amazing to see them so close up!
I really don’t get out of the city often enough and it’s when I go through my photos and remember all the beauty to be found just in my corner of the world, I get a real hankering to take off again travelling!
