I went camping at Conto Campsite some time ago. It’s a beautiful little spot near a gem of a place called Margaret River in Western Australia. Having come from a country that’s basically just one urban city, I’m continually amazed by how fortunate we are in Australia with our clear skies and abundant wildlife. The night sky always steals my breath away, no matter how many times I see it. And far from city lights, it’s so gloriously beautiful, words can’t describe it. This is the first time I’ve tried capturing the milky way, and I hope that one day I’ll be able to imbue my photos with the same sense of inspiring awe.

Wild Western Grey Kangaroos roamed freely on the campground. Kangaroos are endemic to Australia. The name Western Grey Kangaroo is a misnomer, as they are neither grey nor western. They are actually brown, and occupy southern Australia. Kangaroos communicate through a series of soft clicks. They are also nocturnal, so if you’re wandering around in the dark at night trying to find the toilet, you’re likely to bump into one.

There’s nothing quite like sleeping outdoors in the rain (under shelter of course). The pattering is just so soothing, and it makes the air pleasantly cool. In the morning, the leaves are all covered in droplets, and some other adorable creatures.
