Photographer and friend of Lonely Continent @kathrynsprigg travelled to Broome in Australia’s far north-west to capture its awe-inspiring, otherworldly beauty.

“I think Western Australia has some of the most incredible beaches in the world, and to me, there’s nothing like the pristine, idyllic stretch of coast that you find in Broome (Aboriginal name: Nileribanjen, the Yawuru people are the traditional owners of the land),” she says.

“It is the most unique and tiny town, which has a special way of delivering never-have and never-will-again experiences. After all these years I’m still in disbelief that you can stand on the white, squeaky clean sand of Cable Beach, stare at turquoise blue water one way, and spin in the other direction to be met by rusty red soil.

“The profound sunrises can only be matched by jaw-dropping sunsets, and even if you do nothing else but sit by the pool and drink cocktails, the natural wonder of the horizon alone should be inspiration enough to visit.” ❤️

Sparkling seas, secluded swim spots, seriously good seafood… just a few reasons to plan a beachy road trip around South Australia’s Eyre Peninsula, one of the country’s best-kept secrets.

At the link in bio, SA-native @hollybyrne shares a comprehensive guide to the region - it’s the kind of itinerary you’ll want to bookmark and replicate in full later!

*South Australia’s borders remain open to interstate travellers, though those from NSW, the ACT and Victoria need to have a test on arrival and isolate until a negative result is received.

Deciphering each state’s different and ever-changing travel restrictions can feel like a full-time job, so at the link in bio writer @nikole_dee breaks it all down into one easy guide 💫 It’s essential reading before you plan your next escape (and for those lucky enough to enter WA, Esperance deserves a spot on your list!)

Outer calm, inner bliss. We’ve teamed up with @visitnsw to compile an edit of the state’s best glamping experiences - because after the year you’ve had, it’s fair enough if you’re steering clear of temperamental tent poles, communal bathrooms and icy showers.
