WILD, WILD WEST GO WEST

Hi,

made The West Australian in recent days to wild. Flooding in Perth, earthquake in Port Hedland, Cyclone warnings for the Midwest.
"Eh Kloar that direction san winter road," is now so many of you analyze accurately. Yes, unfortunately. It
"herbstlt" So, some even a bit more than that Brisbane was hiding last week to once in a 30 cm snow cover. Who knows that so can weaken a portion of Vienna can imagine how people tried to come here so clear. Very amusing - with snow removal revamped cricket bats belonged to the most innocuous actions . . .

left in my today's entry, we the tropical - I dearly loved - the north-west of Australia towards relatively fresh, more southern climes in order before looking in two more villages over in which I was vain for locals on the lookout, but lots of dolphins met.
What heavenly sounds turned out to be extremely expensive constellation. The exorbitant price of milk in excess of 20 shillings per liter may be obtained on the formula dolphins / locals - I know.
Since we are by the way already pretty close to my favorite subject: "records - no matter what." Do not be mad, without we can not do today.

first stop was after a lot of rust and dirt in the mining town of Port Hedland and Coral Bay are located about 1km from the beach and easily accessible by canoe "erpaddelbares" Reef. The "Ningaloo Reef is the western counterpart to the Great Barrier Reef". Here in the Indian Ocean to plow up to 12m long, "Whale Sharks" peacefully through the ocean, they provided are not slaughtered just by the Japanese.
came Unfortunately my hopeful in the far reaches of the virtual world to trumpet call for donations to rather poor response. to go swimming on far too little support to deal with these giant fish (sharks are) (that could be here if you have money).
your donations sufficient only to "Fish & Chips", I invested in makaberweise "Shark Fish & Chips" - thanks be to Jul!


In Coral Bay Wim tapped me on the shoulder. Not the first time here in Australia. We have sailed together in the Whitsundays, ran into each other and were in Cairns at the same time in the Litchfield National Park Florence Falls down upon his back. All good things come in fours, so our motto, as we now common paddled towards Reef, there to snorkel for a while, as can be seen easily on his face.


The view from Coral Bay in the direction of Ningaloo Reef.

Next stop was Shark Bay.
The names for towns and regions absorb the Aussies out of their way, not fingers. Coral Bay - guessed it - famous for its coral and Shark Bay is a place to sleep, living room and work for a wide variety of shark populations worldwide.


If only one could see it! At this point, usually romp - "in 99 out of 100 cases," a guide - dozens of sharks in the shallow, salty sea.
When I showed up, had to look no - cowards.



This photo is symptomatic of the coastal region of north-west Australia.
meet the monotone colors of the Outback the crying blues of the ocean.
A fascinating area.

Shark Bay is home to not only many sharks here vegetating the world's largest area of sea grass in front of him. I know a rather unspectacular world record.
be careful, however, there is the next: in Shark Bay you can admire the oldest organisms on our planet - the stromatolites.


stromatolites are "living stones" who were engaged in hundreds of millions of years that more and more settled oxygen in our atmosphere.
In short, without them it would still not us . Give


on "Shell Beach" piled up alluvial fresh, tiny clams as high as 7m.
quiet Ganz, Mama. Inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale. . .
The shells are packaged, labeled and stowed in a backpack.


to the immense pressure that the billions of mussels are exposed to is to thank that the mussels will be for years to inseparable friends. To become true friends, to which one can build real. In the truest sense of the word.
This seafood restaurant in Denham was built from compressed, milled out of the ground shells.




After two days in the tiny fishing village Denham we went to Monkey Mia and its main attraction, the dolphins.


Since the mid-70s a dolphin family every morning comes to the beach at Monkey Mia What started as a hobby of a retired couple, has degenerated into a tourist hotspot. Meanwhile here are in high season to look up to 700 people trellis to the dolphins on the fins. As I say, 1 liter of milk for 20 shillings.
stroking way, is banned for a few years because dolphins have 102 teeth.


These creatures have the dolphin visitors usually fixed on the left. All the more reason to love pelicans, then even if they are once again in the spotlight. Took 10 minutes this bird's time for me and threw it in proper pose.


to close the current weather situation after, then it looks as if I was at this point in Monkey Mia, would be immersed for the last time in an Australian waters.
Apart from a 3m 4m times backpacker pool that is me in Alice Springs refresh. Pain to leave. . . Or even better: "Deep Mary Pissed!

moment I am in Kalbarri, about 7, 8-hour drive north of Perth.


On the way from Monkey Mia here has changed in parallel to the landscape and the weather. The tropics are past. The weather here reminds me strong native to the late summer. It takes up to 10 hours until it is reasonably warm, the sun can only look back and again, a fresh breeze is this constant companion.

Anyway, the next day it goes on to Perth, which I'm pretty excited. Before then for 5 days in the Red Centre is what will hopefully be a final highlight of my odyssey.

Until then, I sign, but again with you.
soon, Martin

Hello everybody, first of all

thank you for your extensive feedback on my last entry. I am happy every time all your crazy comments to read.

went the last two weeks, right across the no man's land of Darwin to Port Hedland. Even now, after a fraction of the distance, I can say that it was the right decision to make the West Coast.

the northwest Australian outback meets the Indian Ocean. It is two different worlds collide. The landscape features are rough - but not only that: most people read newspapers not here, but much prefer magazines with questionable titles (like "Gun & Fun ") and many disreputable headlines. In these latitudes, the temperatures also scrape the beginning of winter to the 40 mark. On the deserted roads meet even above-average road trains crammed full of future steaks. Here cattle are still driven by man, by rangers on horseback, through the monotonous expanses of the area. And the day by rushing, fully air-conditioned Greyhound bus together with its gaping inmates can these men ever drive close to ecstasy on the damn lonely work routine.
Western Australia is bigger than India. Only an estimated 1 billion not live here, but not even 2 million people. More than half of them, almost 1.2 million, in a city that is Perth. Australians like to smile at such number games. No wonder they love everything that is great, and they love records.
were, for example, the boundaries of Mt Isa in a cloak-and-dagger operation in the west and east respectively extended to 400km. If it does garner the title of "the largest city in the world," it should not fail because of some office stuff.
A few more examples? On the way along the west coast I was on the legendary Road House Fire by sand. The gas station is not solely known for having been in the last ten years, twice destroyed by a cyclone. But also because they not just with the everyday title of "most expensive petrol station in Australia," covered themselves. Suggests not just for filling up on, I think. But passers-by have no choice but to fill any need here. It is seldom that someone creates the next gas station's stay not here.
for Australian conditions not so far from Sandy Fire is Marble Bar Not just any pub, but the village - or rather settlement - with the nation's highest annual temperature average. Not to be confused with the highest temperature ever recorded in the country. This record is held by a settlement in Queensland.
not far from Marble Bar, in turn, in Port Hedland, a 7.4 km long train commute between two mines. Right, again unprecedented, once again a world record!

OK, no more absurd records. On the way from Darwin to the coast I passed after 15 hours of bus travel in Kununurra my first stop.

The sun rises in the 6000-resident city, due to geographical location and time change, long before 6h. The national record should actually be - sorry. At 8
clock is the heat of a disaster, from 9 clock it is a torture.
It did so precious little that I set off on my hike in the adjacent "Mirima National Park before sunrise. The aim of the "Hidden Valley" was.


The "Hidden Valley" consists of sand dunes that have been blown about 360 million years ago and trained over thousands of years of drought, rain and ice ages for this impressive rock formations.

All alone I trudged through this totally deserted area. The only disadvantage
far away from the Massentoursimus: the self-timer mode takes a lot of training.



half 9h, no breeze, measured 36 degrees wind chill, 47 degrees.
I have a headache, but no flail joints.

15 minutes from the "Hidden Valley" presented itself to my astonished eyes following contrast.


In the shade of eucalyptus trees could be the time from 9h - 15h bridge. Outback siesta takes hold a little longer.

detail:
here met in no man's land I have a 40-year Vöcklabrucker who uttered after 5 minutes of conversation the following sentence: "Molly Ah, mark I eh Jo, jo ... - goi in custody in it's vü Kerbln and Bern Eggern."

Definitely go to one character. Namely to Broome.

Back on the coast, the soothing, fresh breeze on your face, I realized that people on the west coast is not to be underestimated advantage. Sunsets!
The sunsets on the famous "Cable Beach was "Every night, a fascinating spectacle. The clouds presented the sky every night in a new guise.
I loved it in this evening mood to jog along the beach and then dive with just the sight of 28 degrees in the warm Indian Ocean.


detail:
Two years ago at the "Cable Beach" a 6m long crocodile from the water walk. You have to be mentally fit to be able to enjoy in this country.

caution camel!

A traffic sign in front of Cable Beach.
Australia is home to the way the world after Saudi Arabia, most of the camels.
What, only second? Can be helped because a little bit?



In Broome I met Joel, with whom I spent the next four days.


Joel is a true "Aussie". A lot of "how ya doin '," even more "no worries". His family has been closely linked with the generations of horse racing. He has six horses trot to the nation's dollars. His main job is working for the largest bookmakers in the country in Sydney. In Broome he recovered from a two week fishing trip through the Kimberleys. Joel was involved in the
from Jul launched fundraising campaign "Food for the needy."
on Australian Art, of course. 4 days, he served beer, stifled any complaint on my part in a mandatory "no worries" and put me on the last day or a ticket to the oldest open-air cinema in the world (with no records is not easy) to. As we sat
then head to head, directly under the stars. Joel pointed Tasmanian Brie on crackers, I looked once again somewhat embarrassed of that. To melt away ...

Before I depart from Sydney, I will hopefully meet Joel's invitation to spend an afternoon with him at the famous racecourse in Sydney.
I see it coming already. Everything will be fine. I will end up with more money than I ever in Schwechat hatte … Vielleicht fliege ich ja „Economy“ retour.


Von Broome ging es nach Port Hedland. Von einem schnuckeligen Touristendörfchen in eine rostige Minenstadt. Port Hedland ist eine Stadt, die so scheint es, in rote Farbe getaucht wurde. Von den wenigen Grasflecken in der Stadt, über die riesigen Minen selbst, bis zur Tastatur im Backpacker ist alles von einer dunkelroten Erdschicht bedeckt. Definit kein Ort zum alt werden. Aber Ausgangspunkt zum bisherigen Highlight meiner Reise.

Nie groß angepriesen, doch unter Einheimischen definitiv DER Nationalpark Australiens.
Der „Karijini Nationalpark“.
5 Stunden ging es von Port Hedland gen Süden ins Landesinnere. 4 lange Hours past parched grass and malnourished cows. To slow the hills higher and the cows were scarce. I had no idea what would await me the next two days.


The "Karijini NP" combines the incredible beauty of nature with a huge portion of adventure. Here coasts, not a single, stuffed tourist bus with a technically difficult photo-stocked, Japanese occupation. This will not change anything in fifty years.
For a very simple reason: to see the most beautiful spots of this park, you have natural water slides along slide into the depths of 14m high rock jump in 18 degree cold water jump and more
Welcome to "Karijini"!

The principle is always the same. After a breathtaking Lookout paves way you look at the bottom of the gorges.



There are no fixed route. The millions of years old sandstone canyon in the path.


An incredible environment.
in Karijini NP open five Gorges each other, water bubbles here throughout the year from the rocks ...


It goes down ...


At this point I had to tear myself away reluctantly from my beloved camera. What came next, was the adventure part. What is needed from now on was only his swimming trunks and swimming trunks only, no full 7m, 9m, 14m jumps into ice-cold water, we slid down natural waterfalls in the depths. Usually a "one-way trip," but not if you have attached a rope ladder to a rock that brings you back up.
would only too glad I recorded all the image.

the early evening we enjoyed in this natural pool.



We spent the night in sleeping bags under the stars.
The group was awesome, we were only 5 people, all fit and agile. All made with all the trunks were clean by the bank.


A hearty breakfast: coffee (right), tea (m) and the slightly different toaster Spring (left).


The start of a new day.
Our vehicle would never abandon his usual tender loving. Before it took up his work, asked for the starter a little massage. Relaxed as
Guide "Terry" I do not feel you can be. And very importantly, he jumped ahead always!



soon, Martin
