Photos from Western Australia

I’ve seen a lot of sunsets from all over the world, but I honestly believe the best are from Western Australia. Fine, I have a little bias since it is my home state, but look at this.It is a poor-quality photo on a very old phone, like back when they first put cameras on phones, and it still looks pretty good.

I actually don’t think it is that great but it’s an outdoor activity close to town.

When I studied Outdoor Leadership in TAFE back in the early 2000s, one of the excursions was a 4-day hike through the Stirling Ranges. Here we are looking towards the end point, Bluff Knoll, off which we also abseiled. It is a 4-day hike in total.

Also for TAFE, we rappelled off the sea cliffs in a place called Wilyabrup. Probably the most visually appealing place I have ever abseiled.

This beach is from the longest hike I have ever done, and also one of the best - the Bibbulmun Track. It took a friend and I 7 weeks to complete it back in 2008. There was some amazing terrain along this hike. I highly recommend it to anyone that enjoys long distance hiking.

This is either from the top of the Gloucester Tree or the Millennial Tree. Both are from around the same area in South Western Australia and I think were originally fire posts.

The Gloucester Tree is a 61-meter-tall karri tree.
