Ningaloo and Karijini 2008
Ningaloo……
Well what a fantastic trip we had! Great weather, great sights and great company! Where to begin….
It all started at Camp Paradise-that’s the name we affectionately gave to the paddock where we tossed our swags. 
Mind you I wished I had photos of our faces when Hal directed us to our sleeping quarters. He waved his arm towards the paddock, suggesting we camp on the right side of a bush so as to gain some protection from the early morning winds.

Karijini and The Chichester Ranges May 9-19, 2010
The best part of Western Australia! Karijini is the second largest National Park in WA . Its rocks originated as fine grained sediment on an ancient sea floor 2.5 million years ago. The sediments were rich in iron and silica and over millions of years were changed into hard rock. Sea level changes resulted in rivers cutting through the rock creating the gorges we see today. We’ll have 5 days to explore these gorges, clambering our way over rocks and cooling off with swims in majestic surroundings. [Read more]

Well if I wasn’t getting ready for my Pyrenneen adventure I think I would have a bad case of PTD (post trip depression) after our fabulous Karijini trip. Great people, weather, scenery, food, vehicle, even leaders!
12 enthusiastic walkers (all previous IO customers) set out from the Midland train staton 7.30 one Saturday morning. This was the first joint venture between Coates Wildlife Tours and Inspiration outdoors. (And we were already planning the next before this one had ended!) Our first overnighter was near Mullewa- a bush camp, an option that was to prove very popular thoughout the two weeks. An isolated spot in the bush, often a water hole (for the women to bathe in) and much camraderie around the fire- well as much as you can fit in before 8pm which seemed to be the self imposed curfew of the group!
