Collecting water off the caravan roof.
(Preview)

Shark Bay - Fuel Prices.
(Preview)
Gday all, Just a heads up for anyone driving in the Shark Bay Area. Diesel fuel yesterday (wed) in Denham was 8 cents per litre cheaper than at the Overland roadhouse out on the highway so if going into Denham or Monkey Mia it may be worth waiting till you get into town.

The Kimberley
(Preview)
If you are not sure whether or not you want to visit the Kimberley, have a look at the ABC's "Mystery Road". I saw it on Iview. It's filmed in the Kimberley and in my opinion the Kimberley is the star of the show and not the human actors or the camera operator/s. Human stars include Aaron Pederson, Judy Davi...
