Imagine the scene, 14 people from all over the world (well Switzerland, Austria and UK) on a holiday tour bus in one of the most remote places in North WA, we've just set up camp in the middle of Karijini National Park with just flies and bugs for company and started to cook our dinner then the Park Ranger appears and starts a conversation with our tour guide Ben: PR: G'day mate have you heard about the cyclone warning? Ben: Er no.. PR: Yeah mate, on it...

Greetings from Exmouth and I'll tell you what, it's beautiful here. We're talking wilderness that goes on for miles and miles and big empty beaches, and as many wild Kangers and Emus running about as you want.

We'd alrea...

It's a place of outstanding national beauty (just look at the photos) and has some of the most prolific wildlife in Oz - from the purest breed of dingo to man eating sharks - obviously swimming in the sea here is not a good idea but then that's not a problem as you have th...
