I still can’t believe how unreal the roads in Aust I still can’t believe how unreal the roads in Australia are 🤯🥹 

(Follow @yourscenicmiles for more outdoor travel in Australia) 

More often than not we take the scenic route instead of the direct route just so we can drive on some of the most beautiful roads in this country! 

📌 Here are 4 roads in Australia you cannot miss
📍 Port Gregory Rd 
📍 Shark Bay Rd 
📍 Karijini Drive 
📍 Ajana Kalbarri Rd 

Which road would you drive on first? 👇🏼

📍 Spa Pool | Karijini National Park

Hamersley Gorge was our absolute highlight! 🥹Definitely worth the hype -  the water glows this unreal, vibrant blue and feels like the perfect reward after the hike.

This spa pool in Western Australia is a dream escape and the ultimate cool-down spot after exploring the gorges.

📌 Is this natural pool in Western Australia on your bucket list? 😊

🛑 You NEED to read this before you go! Honestly? I 🛑 You NEED to read this before you go!
Honestly? I was seconds away from just sitting down in the dirt and don’t hike further! After the last km on this trail, my legs were completely done! 

So we completely underestimated this hike 🙈 

The natural infinity pools on the top of this waterfall are dreamy (bring swim clothes) but the end of the trail is way harder than most people expect. 

📍 Fortress Creek Falls Trail | Blue Mountains 

📌 Before we jump in, make sure to SAVE this for your own adventure so you don’t get lost! Believe us you’ll NEED these tips! 

What you need to know:
• It’s longer than AllTrails says (we tracked ~9.8 km Return) 
• It’s ranked Grade 5 in Australia
• Very rocky, uneven & technical
• The last kilometer is the hardest (steep downhill, no official trail, technical) 

The view and pools are unreal 🥹
But please don’t take this hike too easy - especially if you’re not used to steep, technical trails! 

Would you do a Grade 5 hike to reach this spot?

Instagram Vanlife is a lie 🚐💀 Reality check: if y Instagram Vanlife is a lie 🚐💀

Reality check: if you think it’s all aesthetic sunsets and slow mornings, you’ve only seen one side of the story. In truth, it‘s 24/7 busy unpacking, cleaning, and dodging head-bumps in this tiny space. It’s messy, it’s chaotic, and it’s definitely not always „Instagrammable“ - but it’s a real adventure! 

📩 SEND this to someone who needs a reality check before booking their first camper trip! 

Which „reality show“ moment can you relate to the most?

The Milky Way peak is from April - August in Australia! 

📌 Before we jump in, make sure to SAVE for your own galaxy shots! 

There’s nothing quite like the silence of Karijini National Park (Western Australia) at night. We started astrophotography a few years ago, and I promise it’s easier than it looks. 

4 Tips for Epic Galaxy Shots:
1. Timing is Everything: Aim for New Moon 🌑 (or the days surrounding it) for the darkest possible skies.
2. Light Discipline: Use a headlamp with a red light setting! 
3. Location: Karijini NP is a dark-sky paradise due to zero light pollution. Our favorite spot? Buddhas Overnighter (Free Campsite)! It’s the perfect base for night shooters.
4. Pro Camera Settings: 
 * Tripod (essential!)
 * Wide aperture 
 * High ISO
 * 15-30 second exposure
 * Manual focus to infinity 

Would you wake up at 3 AM for this? 🌌😴
