At the end of 2019 I was looking for a French destination for a weekend. My criteria were: quickly accessible by train from Paris, not too expensive and nice, authentic city center. I chose Troyes! Practical information So I took the TER train from the Gare de l’Est. Troyes is reached in 1h30 and the round trip cost me 60E. I booked a small studio Arouet very close to the station and close to the center (102E for 3 nights).…
Perth was my last base in Australia. I spent a few days there to sell my car and then 3 days after my last road trip. Useful information Perth is the capital of Western Australia. It’s a big city lost all by itself on the west coast of Australia. Just like for Melbourne I had the opportunity to test few hostels, but also camps! Knowing that I rather stayed in Fremantle when I had a car (you can park for…
Once my car was sold (and a little budget more), my first visit was Rottnest island! I dreamed of these little quokka 😉 . Access to the island The boats that reach Rottnest Island leave from Fremantle. So I could go there on foot but know that you can book a transfer via the companies. You can also book a bike via the chosen ferry company (I took Rottnest express but they are equivalent). Do not forget to look on…
Just like in Melbourne,I had the opportunity to stay in several hostels and test a few camps around! Indeed Perth was my departure city but before that I spent about 10 days there to sell my car! Camps I have stayed in two camps around Perth before staying in hostel. One in town, not too far from the airport (queen’s grove). It was fairly concrete and exposed to road noise. I stayed there for two nights, wanted to extend but…
After working for a month in Victoria, I took my car for 2.5 weeks of road trip in South-West of Australia. From Adelaide to Perth. For each part find the link to my post with more information and more photos of my road trip in the South-West of Australia! The South Australia and the desert Day 1 : Silos road from Lascelles to Adelaide Day 2 : Adélaïde and its botanical garden. Day 3 : drive up to Port Augusta…
After my stop to Denmark, I went up quickly to Perth via Margaret River. The weather was not so good and I wanted to take advantage of the best day of the week to go see the dolphins in Rockingham. Hamelin Bay First stop south of Margaret River, Hamelin bay! This beach is very well known for having a lot of rays along the beach (and transparent water). Unfortunately there was quite a bit of wind that day and the…
Before last step of this road trip in the South-West of Australia: the region of Denmark! West cape howe Before arriving in Denmark I made a first stop in this national park. At the beginning I had planned to stop on the first beach but the access was blocked (it was a sandy track and not a road …). So I pushed up to Shelley beach! Charmed by this lost corner I stayed there in the afternoon and at night!…
After leaving Bremer bay I continued on my way towards Albany! Two peoples bay nature reserve I arrived at the end of the day to camp at East bay camping ground. The setting is sublime but victim of its success is quite full! I have the impression that Australians spend several days there on vacation … Besides, this is the only spot where I have been disturbed by locals (who come to drive fast and yell …). But since there…
After having left Esperance I headed for Bremer Bay enjoying a stop at Fitzgerald River national park. Fitzgerald River national park To the east of Bremer bay is this national park which is worth seeing! It’s the eastern part of the park that can be visited, the rest has no road! When I arrived I went directly to sleep at the Four mile Campground (ten dollars with sanitary facilities, showers, BBQ). The day after I went for a walk on the…
After going through Nullarbor I arrived at Esperance. There is no free camp nearby and since it was not in high season the YHA hostel was not too expensive. This allowed me to rest a little more comfortable for two nights, to do my laundry, shopping, etc.. Cape le Grand National Park I first went to the visitor center of Esperance to buy a pass to visit all the national parks of Western Australia for 1 month (with some exceptions).…
