{mosimage}Another splendid adventure, another unforgettable trip, this time completly lone and free to choose my itinerary along the road. I drove more than 4600 km in twelve days that have led me to discover amazing places into the less known of the australian turistic itineraries: the north-west coast of Western Australia, from Perth to Exmouth.

 

 

Ended the working adventure in Wulura farm of Dunsborough, I moved to Perth to quickly organize my trip to the north western tip of the continent. After having withdrawn the car rental I immediately put on the road on the northern Great Hwy, but after a few kilometers here is the first unexpected detour: a road sign indicating the "Scenic Drive" which runs the Swan valley, known for good wine. And then I put the arrow and I decided to visit this valley however, after having lived for two months in the Margaret river region, it seems little thing (probably is not even the right time, because the vineyards are bare and gia `Pruned)!

Returning on the main road, I this time toward the coast, taking the North-West coastal hwy. The first goal of my trip to the discovery of WA Cervantes is a country of few souls rather anonymous were it not that is a few kilometers from Nambung NP, home of the famous Pinnacles desert. The sight of these rock formations that rise from the sandy soil to create an enormous expanse of small and large pinnacles is made sublime by the light of sunset. After a morning to admire also the `dawn, the second transfer brings me to overcome the town of Geraldton and Kalbarri reach the NP. Here admire the splendid coastal scenery and sunset until the following day to dedicate the discovery of the park, with its picturesque mountain landscapes including natural stands out the window, window in the rock carved by the wind. Yet another transfer to reach the Shark bay, the natural heritage of UNESCO and the seat of `extreme western extension of the continent (Steep point), as well as the famous` My Monkey, where for the past fifty years `men and dolphin meet and interact on the beach peacefully. The visit to this place is far less romantic than it might appear from my earlier description: the place, as often happens, is victim of its own beauty and now is a pilgrimage destination for tourists continued. After visiting the bay, pass the Tropic of Capricorn to Cape raggiungerre the range NP and Ningaloo marine park, magical places where I spend beautiful days completely immersed in nature, surrounded by kangaroos, wallabies, emu, Echidna, acquile Varani and besides having the reef a few yards from the campsite where sleep. A fatigue leave this place fairy l `to reach the final goal of my trip in the north west, the Karijini NP, in` Australian outback, located in the Pilbara region. This extreme frontier inhabited for millennia by aboriginal peoples has been achieved by a few years from the white man who has discovered huge mineral deposits. I preferred to devote myself to nature again, avoiding the tour to the mines and plunge into the park, making several trekking, climbing and descending in the gorges present.

This too is wandering therefore come to a conclusion (other than a transfer of 1,500 km along the northern Great hwy, full of road train) and perhaps is so far the most beautiful stretch d `Australia that I have seen, yet wild and uncontaminated (on the road are unfortunately thousands of carcasses of kangaroos, cows and sheep saddled with trucks that become food for ravens, and vultures acquile). And now under the East coast ...
