Everyone loves a good road trip, and this was certainly a road trip of mammoth proportion. I’m still unsure how we hatched this plan but it all came together as my car left Sydney two weeks before I would see it again, on a mission that would eventually see it travel over 13,000 kms in 6 weeks. My travel companions for the trip were Tamara and Larissa Potter, both of whom I’d met on a Simpson Desert trip last year, and both of whom shared my enthusiasm for adventure and eagerness to find as many amazing creatures as we could. The trip included a five-day journey from Sydney to Darwin (without me – thanks Tamara 😉) and then two weeks from Darwin to Perth and finally, after a week at the International Mammalogical Conference in Perth, a Nullabor crossing, with a detour through the Gawler Ranges. The main focus of the trip was the Kimberley, a place that is considered by many as one of the last really remote wilderness areas of Australia. It’s a place that I’ve been keen to explore for some time after spending a couple of months up there as part of a biodiversity survey team on a large station up near Kalumburu, and also after the cruise around the coastline that Serena and I did in 2015. I figured the easiest way to capture a few key moments from the journey was with a couple of limericks. Just follow the link and I hope you enjoy……..Road-Trip-Blog-July-2017.
