ROAD TRIP!!! 🐬 🕷🦈 🐊 🦘🐍 🐨 google.com/maps/dir/Surfe…
I’ll keep this thread going with one or more pics each day. Dining out in Noosa today, such a chilled out atmosphere here 🌴
Go straight for 475km 😲
Always some animal down here wanting to mess you up...
Ok, so some animals are cool 🐸
When there’s no more city and all the light pollution is gone...
When in this part of the world... 🥃
How’s the serenity...
Typical Aussie Christmas weather 🌴😎
🍺
Australian death frog 🐸
Come on in, the water’s nice ☠️
🚣♀️ 🍾
Yeah, this’ll do 🌴
Monday blues 🌴
Monday pinks 🌴

From one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World to one of the world’s most beautiful beaches... and we’re still in our own state. Just gained a totally new appreciation for home today ❤️ 🇦🇺
Words can’t describe how amazing the reef is, it’s just totally out of this world
And Whitehaven Beach... it’s just always one of the best in the world. All national park, remote from the rest of the world and sand like talcum powder. Amazing hamiltonisland.com.au/things-to-do/w…
Saying goodbye to Hayman Island, The Whitsundays were just absolutely amazing 🤩
There are a lot of bats in Port Douglas 🦇
I mean **A LOT** of bats 🦇 😲
🐊
The beaches here are not quite like home... 🐊
🚣♀️ 🤿 🐠 🚁
All Australian animals are soft and furry and harmless... 🦘
...ok, so there’s a few exceptions 🐊
Little girl. Big fish. 🎣
It’s almost bat o’clock (zoom in...)
Far North Queensland summer days 🥵
Problem solved 🍻
The bravest little girl I know ❤️ She wanted to bungee as well but needs another couple of years on her yet
Such diverse landscape here from reef to rain forest to white sandy beaches to this (bonus points for spotting the camouflaged child) 🪨
You might get stung, eaten or drown, but other than that it’s really nice!
But at 30C in the ocean, it’s pretty damn tempting...
❤️
This felt... “precarious” 😬
Christmas Day here is... Nerf gun wars, drones, playing in the park and old Christmas movies. What’s it like in your part of the world?
An enormously challenging year coming to a close surrounded by a wonderful family. We’ve had amazing support from fantastic friends, neighbours and an online community that stretches further than we ever could have imagined, with thousands of messages of support. Thanks folks 🙏
The amazing @SkyrailCairns over the tropical rainforest and down to the ocean. We followed it up with a swim in the 30C ocean 🌴 🐊
Time for the next leg of the trip! We have many podcasts queued up... 🚗
There is a lot of nowhere out here. And bugs 🐜 🐛 🕷
A long day into the middle of outback Queensland, but man that drive is easy when the road is straight, flat, you can overtake anywhere and it’s either 100 or 110kph most of the way. Radar cruise control, podcasts, relax 😎
Just a little bit of this evening’s gorgeous scenery ☀️
Stormy days ⛈
Wasn’t sure if we’d be able to find Mt Isa 🤓
Had a nice look around Lake Moondarra today. For some reason, @charlottelyng didn’t want to get out of the car... northweststar.com.au/story/2125106/…
Longest one-day leg of the trip coming up now. Go straight for 661k, get fuel at the only station along the way, turn left and go another 506k 🚗
Going straight for 633km 😳
Covered most of that already, this is the easiest big drive I’ve ever done, especially once we hit the 130 zone and the ks really started to disappear.
That’s about as tight as I want to make it range wise in the absolute middle of nowhere 😬
There’s a lot of desert out here 🐪
That’d be the most ks I’ve ever driven in a single day, but 1,169km in 9:28h was an absolute breeze 😎
Today’s first wildlife encounter 🦚
G’day! 🐪
First time I’ve had to get a key to remove a padlock from the pump before getting fuel. Also the first time I’ve paid nearly $2 a litre!
This’ll do 😎 🍺
This is just magical 🤩
G’night ✨
This is next level amazing
36 rock domes covering 22 square km up to 546m high formed 550 million years ago 😮
The last light of the year we’ll never forget. Have a great NYE friends.
Security theatre 🔓
When you can, see this. It’s magical.
