Traveller Estelle Bingham begins her journey in the
tiny town of Goolwa, where the first
free  settlers landed. While there, she builds and races
a boat in the local boat festival.
From there she goes to Adelaide, the
capital of South Australia, gorging herself at the food
and wine festival. She has a Harley Davidson chauffered
ride down to the wine region, the Barossa Valley, where
she helps make some wine: picking and treading the grapes.
She then flies to the outback town of Coober
Pedy, to try her hand at some opal mining.
She encounters the yearly camel mustering, which she
attends along with a traditional aboriginal ritual called
a corroboree.
Her outback adventures take her to the wild west gold
mining town of Kalgoorlie, where she
has a wild night on the town, including gambling and
a tour around a famous brothel.
 She then makes her way to Perth, famous
for its beaches, and site of the Naked Olympics. After viewing some of those events, she heads out of
town to a wildlife sanctuary, where she gets to cuddle
a baby koala and wombat. Before leaving the Perth area,
she tries her hand at catapulting: a kind of reverse
bungy-jumping which gets you up in the air.
Her adventure continues with a trek in the Karjini
gorges, where she hikes and abseils her way
through some of the most stunning scenery in South West Australia.
Our journey ends in Exmouth, the westernmost
tip of the continent, where Estelle encounters one of
the most awesome creatures of the sea: the whale shark. |
