I Spent 9 Months Road Tripping The Big Lap Of Australia And Took These Amazing Photos To Remember It!
I always thought, if you are going to do something, do it properly. So after spending a few years living and working in Australia. My fiancee and I decided to do a bit of traveling. Well, actually we thought, let's see it all! So we bought a van of a local electrician, fitted it out into a camper, named it Vanessa and hit the road!
We spent hours upon hours driving, walked on hundreds of beaches, Watched nearly every sunrise and sunset as well as ate a whole lot of tinned food!
35,000km later we were back where we started, the big lap complete! Here is just a small selection of the photographs I took along the way as memories.

Seeing Uluru (aka Ayers Rock) was probably one of the main highlights of our trip around Australia - having read about and seen so many photographs and the growing thinking, "That's so far away from anything and anywhere; I'll never get to see it." - well, was I wrong about that! We stayed for a week! AWESOME!!

Wow thanks Deborah! WA is my favourite state, it's absolutely incredible. Highly highly recommended

Definitely the trip of a lifetime. Western Australia was hands down the best state or territory of Australia - best NATURAL hikes!
Tom Rex Jessett (Post author) 8 years ago
If I could only choose to do one state again it would 100% be WA!!
