This place immediately sparked my interest, an overgrown abandoned miniature replica of the famous Schloss Neuschwanstein in Bavaria just sitting there. It is part of the old Castle Fun Park in Halls Head, Western Australia however now belongs to nature. Castle Fun Park was built in 1979 and included a miniature village complete with castle, […]
Gwalia Ghost Town, Western Australia
We stumbled upon Gwalia Ghost Town in Western Australia’s Great Victoria Desert 828km from Perth. Originally a gold mining town in 1963 when the mines finally closed the population dropped from 1200 to 40.

Penguin Island, Western Australia
Penguin Island is a small island located 45 minutes south of Perth. See penguins in their natural habitat surrounded by beautiful crystal clear waters.
