Western Australia

Teatime, Nullarbor

After a long drive along the Nullarbor it was about time to cook dinner and enjoy the sunset. One thing I can assure you, the sunsets here in the Outback are incredible... with the perfect combination of pure quietness and the beauty itself. This was one of the coldest nights on our trip towards Perth, Australia! Just below zero degrees. Great to warm yourself up with a cup of tea right next to the cliffs to enjoy the rush of the waves. Couldn't be better to conclude the day.

Camping at the Edge, Nullarbor

Here it is... the sunset next to our camping spot along the Nullarbor. Such an amazing feeling no-one having around you. Surrounded by the beautiful nature and nothing else.

Walkway, Nullarbor

As beautiful as it is... it was difficult to keep yourself holding onto the cold. Especially right at the cliffs, you can feel the wind forcing through your clothes like nothing.

White Sand, Nullarbor

The next day, back on the road, and again just trees and bushes as far as your eyes can see, oh wait I don't want to forget... there is plenty of life in the desert more then you think. Once you take your time you'll see it. Just driving through the desert without enjoying the different side of Australia is not an option.

Frenchmans Cap, Lucky Bay

After arriving in Esperance we got in contact with some locals and asked them where they would escape and enjoy a sunset evening? The Answer was: „That would be definitely Lucky Bay.“ A place just one hour outside of Esperance, combined with wildlife and the beach. We opened the map, grabbed the car keys and went straight there but before turning towards the beach we saw a sign: „The Frenchmans Cap“ We thought to give it a go as it looked spectacular from the distance. And here we go, boots on and time for some exercise. Why not running up the hill, with those cold temperatures it was a pleasure. This is Joe running up towards the summit.

Frenchmans Cap, Cave Entrance, Lucky Bay

And look what we found right at the top of the summit!! A huge cave with views towards Lucky Bay. I was speechless and grabbed straight to my camera and set up my tripod. What a view!! A cave I haven’t seen before. I bet it must be beautiful to sit here in the morning and watch the sun rising up over Lucky Bay.

Frenchmans Cap, Cave Window, Lucky Bay

The Entrance to the cave, I call it the "Frenchmans Window". There is life everywhere you go, even on places when you don't expect it.

Kangaroo Mother, Lucky Bay

After climbing up the Frenchmans Cap it was about time to discover the beach. As soon as we got there we met this cute family having their dinner at the beach. As there‘re are lots of tourists coming everyday to enjoy this place, the kangaroos kinda got used to people and you can get very close to them if you don't scare them. You can even enjoy some precious time with them. Aren't they such a beautiful species?

Kangaroo Mother Portrait, Lucky Bay

I was petting her and watched them eating. I had my 30mm 1.4 Sigma lens with me and could come up so close to take a portrait of the mother. She literally was posing for me. Those kind of moments are very precious and it'll change you and your whole human being.

Junior, Lucky Bay

This little fellow was the cutest thing! He stood there and watched me.

Top View, Lucky Bay

Once the kangaroos ran away, we continued our walk along the beach.

Fisherman, Lucky Bay

Halfway through we met this man, fishing on his own. He was getting catching herrings out of the ocean in no time. This is his favourite place to fish and no doubt it truly is.

Gulls at Lucky Bay

We had a few fans along the walk. You'll find them anywhere.

4WD at Lucky Bay

The beach is accessible with a 4WD and as you can see we had some company.

Sunrise, Lucky Bay

The next day was cold but gold. Another walk in the early hours.

Sand Flame, Lucky Bay

All along the beach you could find all kind of different textures.

Sunrise Panorama, Lucky Bay

The Lucky Bay starts to fill up with life, once the sun hits the ground you'll see the beauty in it.

Mornings Run at Lucky Bay

I couldn't resist to just walk along the beach as it was freezing. So I went for a run and nothing can beat a run in the early morning.

Crossing Borders, Lucky Bay

Amazing how white the sand is. It felt like walking on snow.

Sand Textures, Lucky Bay

Sand waves created by the wind.

Yoga, Lucky Bay

Who doesn't love yoga? Even better secluded from everyone.

Waves, Lucky Bay

This is a lookout right at the beach that will take your breath away.

Sunset, Margaret River

Once we made it to Margaret River, I could feel the positive energy. The vibe, the people, the views. AMAZING.

Canal Rock, Margaret River

The Canal Rock where Mother Nature kicks in and shows it’s strong power.

Camping with Milky Way, Gracetown

One think I gonna miss being in the outback is to watch the milky way up in the sky.
