Well I done something i never dream't i would do, i've reached the western most point of Australia.

For me its not the destination but the journey, its a soul healing one for me, my heart and soul were shattered when my Sam passed 4/10/13.

More pics, loved the dolphins, they came right up to me.

Frangipani, I don't want to take away your joy - and maybe you did not have the vehicle to get you to Steep Point, but here is the most western point in Aust.  Denham is the most western town. 

Enjoy the rest of your journey, and may it never come to an end.

How fantastic is that Fran, great. Now just head east to Byron Bay and you will be at the most Eastern Point. You can then start North and South.

Keep on keeping on.

35km of sand dunes to get there.  Yes, we did it with a 4WD.   Left the caravan behind at Tamala Station, on the Useless Loop Road (what a wonderful name)
