Western Australia ROAD TRIP: PINNACLES to KALBARRI & BIZARRE pink Hutt Lagoon
Western Australia is the state with the most beautiful nature on the entire continent. In this video we drive from one natural phenomenon to another. The bizarre pink Hutt Lagoon is an example of this! But the crazy Pinnacles, straight pillars of limestone, are also unique to the whole world. We conclude this stage of the road trip through Australia in the Kalbarri National Park, one of the most beautiful nature parks in the Australian Outback with canyons and rock formations in the Wild West!
Australia is a paradise for every traveller. The gigantic country is full of wild animals, beautiful natural places and cultural highlights. After a previous trip along the east coast of Australia, we now visit the west coast in the province of Western Australia. And how? We take the 4x4 with two rooftop tents and head out into the great outdoors. Earlier you saw us drive to the southwestern tip of Australia in Margaret River and we also visited the metropolis of Perth with its beautiful skyline. From Fremantle we took the ferry to Rottnest Island in search of the cutest animals: quokkas. After this part in the Pinnacles and Kalbarri we will visit Hamlin Pool, Shark Bay, François Peron, Monkey Mia, Carnarvon, Coral Bay, Ningaloo Reef, Exmouth, Cape Range National Park, Karijini National Park, Port Headland, 80 Mile Beach, Cape Keraudren and Broome.
We make our trip through Australia during a year-long world tour. We may even continue to travel indefinitely. On New Year's Day we started in Lanzarote and Fuerteventura, the Canary Islands. Then you saw us in Oman, Cape Verde, Martinique, Saint Lucia, Tobago, Grenada, the Bahamas, the United States, Mexico, Ecuador, the Galapagos Islands, Brazil, Qatar, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam and Malaysia. The next continent Australia is already our nineteenth destination. Follow us on this world tour, first in Australia, from Perth to Broome and then to many more beautiful destinations! We also cross over to the Philippines and Africa! We travel non-stop all year round and film everything, with a new episode every week. Also take a look at instagram @woutoftheworld or
