The pinnacles

It takes a lot to leave me speechless but the pinnacles desert managed it in minutes...

A few hours north of Perth sits Nambung national park, home to The Pinnacles a mind blowing series of limestone formations- some up to 5 metres in height, surprisingly geologists still can't decide how they were formed (there's several theories floating around on the Internet if you're interested). I know rocks aren't necessarily the most exciting thing to see on holiday but it has to be in the top 5 things I've ever done, the sheer amount of the formations left me speechless and the fact no one knows how they came to be makes them just a little bit more special!

Hope all my lovely readers are doing okay with the terrible weather in the UK and America, wrap up warm!

What's the most amazing geology-ish thing you've seen? I think this is probably 2nd on my natural wonders to Iguazu falls (click this for some serious wanderlust!)

gone campin'

A few days ago we decided that we needed a little adventure, so we threw our bags in the car and headed North....

After more hours in the car than I care to remember we found ourselves headed down the dirt track leading to our new home, Sandy Cape campsite. We pitched our little tent in record time, and hit the beach, a whole 2 metres away. 

Now I'm not really one for camping but with views like these to wake up to, you can't really say no. 

(embracing my inner londoner )

 mornings spent doing sun salutations on the sand and watching the fisherman catch the dish of the day, days spent reading our favorite books, sunbathing and running to the sea to cool off and evenings watching sunsets and dreaming up our lives in this wonderful country.

paradise, found.

new years eve

There's only one way to spend new years eve in Australia.....

not a very glam NYE dress, but a step up from last years pyjamas. 2014 goal : sparkly dress.

After a while we headed up the river when we encountered some rather drunken sailors in the local pub, we all agreed on a plan of action for the evening and then headed back to Mandurah ready for the fireworks..

As the sun began to set everyone tied up along side, ready for the partying to begin, I'm very sorry to say that not many blog worthy photos exist from the night (hallelujah for the delete button right?!), but it was spent jumping from boat to boat dancing on the swimming decks and drinking rather silly mixes of everybody else's alcohol...

I hope you all had as awesome as evening as we did, how did you welcome 2014?
