Knowing When To Turn Back - Big Lap of Australia on a budget.

While exploring the Pilbara and Karijini National Park, we spent a few days at Buddha's free camp, met some regular feathered visitors, explored the spectacular Hamersley Gorge, and dealt with the aftermath of heavy rain and muddy roads. What started as a simple drive soon turned into a lesson about travelling remote Australia. After battling muddy conditions, cleaning kilograms of mud from the D-Max, and discovering our wheels were badly out of balance, we set off to revisit some of Karijini's stunning lookouts. Before leaving Tom Price, Wayne decided to tackle Mount Nameless, one of Western Australia's highest 4WD tracks. The climb started well, but sometimes experience means recognising when a track is beyond your comfort zone. Knowing when to turn back can be just as important as reaching the top. Join us as we continue our budget-friendly lap of Australia, sharing the highs, the challenges, and the lessons we learn along the way. #MobiNomad #Karijini #Pilbara #BigLapAustralia #TomPrice #HamersleyGorge #MountNameless #DMAX #CaravanLife #RetirementTravel #WesternAustralia
