touring Western Australia

If you are thinking of Australia, you think of a big big island. But there is no way that you can imagine the size of it till you have traveled it. To help you out a bit: Germany will fit 22 times in Australia and Western Australia (WA) is one third of the Australian landmass. So what’s your guess, how many people live there? Only about 2.5 million (and 1.8 of these in the city of Perth!). Incredible.

So this part of the world has a beautiful landscape, endless farmland and deserts with a few spots of civilization. Here you can find probably some of the best beaches in the world and have it all for yourself. We just shared the water with dolphins, rays, whales and a few “tiny” sharks.

And not to mention the sky at night! We found ourselves regularly staring at the endless blankets of stars and a crystal clear milky way. These are times when we definitely fell in love with WA!
