Carnarvon Gorge

.Reading time 7 minutes.

Upon arrival in the National Park at noon, we head to the information bay to find out about all the options in this Gorge. Quite tired of driving another 800 km in two days, we decide to go for the three day hike, to discover the entire area. This time we need to pick our tent and sleeping bags with us for the two nights inside the gorge camp ground. We start the trip with rain jackets and waterproof flybags on our backpacks, because of the heavy rainfall in the beginning. The fall stops after some fifteen minutes, when we see the sun again.

Intermezzo : 4WD or camper van?

.Reading time 8 minutes.

We’re now travelling some time in Australia and I want to rethink our first question… Van or 4WD?

The Cape York Peninsula and the Daintree Rainforest

.Reading time 15 minutes.

Cape York is a famous location for the Aussies, it is the northernmost point of Australia and a huge 4WD track up to there. One of the last real 4WD experiences in the country, a trip you mostly do with a couple of cars after lots of preparations. We only want an impression of this area, so we plan a trip to the Lakefield National Park.
