I might be going on a very exciting trip this May! Don’t wanna jinx it so I probably shouldn’t say anything yet..

Ok fine it’s the US for Ooib’s graduation wtf.

I’ve only recently started looking at flights and stuff so nothing’s confirmed yet but if everything is, I can tell you I will be looking at a bank account that has nothing but a couple of flying moths in it.

*cricket sound

If you’re like me – broke but still hoping for a free ride some time, good news there is a free ride!

And it’s in Western Australia.

I read Ringo’s entry here about how she wanted to visit WA and how Tourism Western Australia is offering a very very unusual chance to you (and your companion) to go on an extraordinary taxi ride from the whitest beach in Australia at Lucky Bay in Esperance to the tiger striped Bungle Bungle Range in World Heritage Listed Purnululu National Park in the Kimberley.

They were looking for passengers. And apparently the cabbie too wtf.

I scoured the website (can be found here) and found the map for the Taxi Ride route:

Which startled me a bit because, let’ be honest – that is a lot of land to cover.
But then I googled pictures of famous sights in WA..

Ningaloo Reef . According to the website, one of the world’s largest fringing reefs, reached by the world’s shortest swim.

Short swim huh I could do that.

I’ve never really been a very adventurous outdoorsy kinda person but I’ll be damned if I can rest easy not visiting all these beautiful natural sights before I die.

Staircase to the Moon.

God why does it have such a cool name.

Between March and October each year, when conditions are just right, visitors to Broome in the North West region are treated to a natural spectacle – the Staircase to the Moon.

The natural phenomenon of the Staircase to the Moon occurs when the full moon rises over the exposed mudflats of Roebuck Bay at extremely low tide creating the optical illusion of a staircase reaching for the moon.

But sucks cos I think the contest has closed 🙁

Just read up on all info on WA you can get. For example, the journey legs etc in www.bethepassenger.com and westernaustralia.com. Lot of fun facts and figures to learn! Oh and also make sure you familiarize yourself with the map cos they might test you on that.

Contest closes 11 April!
