OK, so we're sitting here in a World Heritage area (Shark Bay, Western Australia - one of 16 in the world) finishing off a bottle of wine that we bought a few days ago, a few kilometers ago, having just watched the sun set over the Indian Ocean. We suck.
And we have a wireless internet connection...in the town farthest west in Australia...yesterday seeing wild kangaroos and an echidna...two days after petting actual kangaroos...a few hours after being 40M (120 ft+) up in a tingle (eucalypt) forest. We really, really suck.
Tomorrow we might swim with dolphins.
For what it's worth, Western Australia is amazing, and there's no one here...2M people (1.4M live in Perth) across an area FIVE TIMES the size of Texas but at 1/50th the population density (and no Texans). Western Australia in 60% bigger than Alaska. Think of that.
We drove 600km (400miles +/-) today up from the Pinnacles Desert and for the the last 120km saw one car. And this is a touristy place.
You need to come here.
More soon...

It is true that you suck! Glad that you are having a great time. Have you seen Paul Hogan yet?
I would dearly love to visit a tingle tree. What an amazing walkway! 40m above the forest floor and among the canopy of colossal trees. You sir are blessed on this trip!
Continuing to be great stuff.
The photos are great. Reviewed some of Sam Abell's photos (Nat. Geo. Photog) of the Pinnacles. Expect that your photos will be better! Can't wait to see the show.
