Spring Break Road Trip! #HogsAbroad in Australia

During this past week I was lucky enough to spend my Spring Break traveling the Western Coast of Australia! The three of us, Leon, Shane, and I, rented a camper van for 10 days so that we could road trip from Perth towards the north of Australia.

We started by venturing inland to Mount Magnet and Karijini, then we drove back west to get to the coast to start out journey back south while stopping at the amazing beaches of Exmouth, Turquoise Bay, Coral Bay, Shark Bay, Monkey Mia, Pink Lake, Kalbarri, Geraldton, and Jurien Bay. I even got the chance to learn how to drive a manual car on the opposite side of the road.

All in all, we managed to drive 4,500Km, hit one kangaroo, get into trouble with a Park Ranger, and get kicked out of a caravan park.
