A sad loss – goodbye, old friend!
Last week, my track pants that I bought 22 years ago in Sydney left me. Apparently, the material was weak. Weak! Weak! Weak! Not adequate for my farts. I’ve tried to save you with staples and duct tape, but to no avail. It’s a cruel world. So, goodbye, old friend. You’ve been part of my…
Australia 2019, part VIII + Singapore
Last call. We spent two nights in Rockingham, enjoying the enourmous pier (1.8km long), watched the parrots battle it out with the seagulls on the beach, fantastic sunsets at the pier as well as the lovely Cape Peron. Plus nice waffles at the Eye Scream Cafe. But we were mainly in town for hiking in…

Australia 2019, part VII
Everybody knows I love birds, especially parrots. So Pemberton especially was quite the paradise for me. Plus cute roos and emus for the Reisebegleitung, what more could you wish for? Well, maybe an obligatory trip to a lighthouse, cuz that’s her other fetish. So we drove down to Pt. D’Entrecasteaux, which no Aussie can pronounce…
Australia 2019, part VI
There was one good thing about the Rangers House – the grill. Fantastic! The bed on the other hand really sucked. After two nights on this mattress I’d have paid a fortune for a real bed. Otherwise, we only tested the bakery just outside Nornalup, the Tingles Bakehouse, and found good coffee, nice cakes, and…
Australia 2019, part V
It’s way easier to write this on the phone. So I’ll write first and post pictures later, like in ten years. 😁 Was bekommt man, wenn ein Emu Sex mit einem Krokodil hat? Einen Emulgator! 🤣 🤣 🤣 I had totally underestimated the first weekend of March. It’s a long weekend, yes, but I had…
Australia 2019, pt IV
Using Roman numerals in the headlines makes it so sophisticated, don’t you think? I do have an university degree, after all. Torndirrup NP was a blast! Wonderful walk from the car park to „Bald Head“ and back, mostly along the ridge of the „Isthmus“, with stunning views of the coastline and cliffs left and right.…
Australia 2019, pt III
From Porungurup it’s only a short drive to the very different Stirling Range. Since this is the only place in WA with some real „mountains“, we had to go anyway. Lovely forests! Bluff Knoll is a must, not really long, but some nice elevation gain on the short stretch plus fantastic views from the top…
