SAND DUNES LANCERLIN WA

At the end of our glorious day trip we went to the Sand dunes near Lancerlin, which was great fun! Amazing even if I have to say, that I liked the dunes in NZ better! They where kind of mystical, kind of special, cause you can only enter them by feet (+board). In Lancerlin everybody is cruising along in 4WDrive, or on motorbikes and stuff it is kind like a big sandpit for kids. Which is of course fun.

Yay! Looks like a battle field doesn't it? I wanna play Nightrider!


That's Led our 4WDrive-Guide. He is sooo cool. I love him cause he let me sit in front with him which is a so much better experience than sitting in the back.


The view from the top of one of the dunes. Love it! Love it! Love it!


When you driving in the sand you let half of the air out of your tires so that they lay with more on the sand. You also never ever brake, you let you vehicle run out if ya wanna stop.


No Water left and miles and miles and miles to civilisation. Ah imagination! Wanna shoot a movie right here.

Yay, our truck! Looks like the Daddy of my ex-car. Schnueff! Baby I do miss you so much. I actually wanted to ship him over but it was to expensive...



Sexy! Hot guy, hot bike, hot day! ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!


Our Tour Guide. Cool guy. Used to do Tours in Africa. until his Travel-Accident. His Travel Accident is three years old now. He loves him and would not take off without him Sweet Story, eh?


Hahaha. One of the Japanese guys. So much fun! He loved the boarding. Had sand all over him. EVERYWHERE! (No of course I did not check.) Here he is posing for his Lady.


She is a cutie and loved the fun - so exited.

PINNACLES NEAR PERTH WA

Yay! The Pinnacles in the Nambung National Park! Aren't they cute?

Golden sand, green Bush and the deep deep deep blue Indian Ocean...


I love it, when your look reaches as far as your eyesight!


For me it looks like a praying man. An elegant face, long hair, hands in a prayer, body covered by a coat.


The walls in the distant. We could be in Jerusalem, finding our way through the desert - the holy city our destiny. (No I am normally not very religious.)


Weird, some of them just look so weird!

Beautiful. Dunno but the setting and the pic is just beautiful... ;)


This is a Madonna with baby on a rock. Her head is bowed, covered with a scarf. Her body is hugged by a coat. She looks down and in her hands lays her child. You see its little head and little hands... (Hey guy's if you see something different in it, post me!)


The desert - it does not goes on forever but it seems to.


I made the pic of the entrance sign at the end of our trip.


A baby Pinnacle broken in half's like a Easter egg. Did you know, that Pinnacles are like ice bergs underneath the go on and on and on. We only see the top of it!!!

CAVERSHAM WILD PARK

We disturbed them in the morning. We went into the cage and were allowed to stroke them. You have to use the back of you hand and not your palm, cause with the back - your fingers point away and it is less likely to poke them what the do not like. But the idiots never listen and of course everybody used their palms...


Yay! Streichelzoo-time! Aren't they cuuuuuuute?!

This little one is still sleeping. Ohhhhhhh!


Kangaroooooooooo!


Oh, isn't is a sleeping beauty? Look how elegant it arranged it's paws!


uh! Someone very curious! hihihi

Lovely isn't it?! We got food to tempt them.


It looks so vulnerable, nearly sad. A lost life?


Quiiiiiiiiitsch! It has a joey (little one) in it's pouch!


It is smelling my foot. I wanna wrap it up a take it with me as pet.


Hihihi - it is scratching it's backside. When some of them stand up they where as tall as us. Scary - a bit.

Day Trip: DISCOVER PINACLES + NAMBUNG NATIONAL PARK

Wow - up at 6 am. Get ready, made brekky, had to walk 45 min to meet-point. On Sunday? No bus or train before 9/8 am. Pick up was 7:45 am for 08:00 am departure. Of course we where delayed...
Australia - I love the flat space. The limit is the horizon. The limit is yourself.

Long straight roads. You do meet only rarely other vehicles. Ok, jes, it is Sunday. ;)


Quick Stop. Oh it is all so exciting. Finally out of the city again. Have the feeling it is swallowing me. Like a boa-constructor. Slow and painfully.


Yeah, it might seem remote, but the world is passing through.


Emu. In a cage with some fellows. Next to the station.

That's so Australia. Hmmmm, the atmosphere the details.


Australia or Schleswig-Holstein how do you tell?


It is Wildflower time in WA - here one of the first.


Have a closer look.


An assortment of my bounty from a short brisk walk. Plus mussels. We are walking on an ex-reef after all!
