This was an incredible journey through Western Australia, during which I saw ancient stromatolites at Lake Thetis and the stunning Pinnacles in Nambung National Park.

These ancient organisms produced oxygen, which played a crucial role in the evolution of life on Earth...

From Blog to Vlog: The Journey of Nick's Wanderings

Welcome to Nick's Wanderings on RUclips! What's all this about? Well, this is an experiment. I ran a travel blog called Nick's Wanderings on a self-hosted WordPress site for years. After the site was hacked for the umpteenth time, I moved it to Medium. Recently, I started moving the site back to nickswanderings.com, but this time, it is hosted on Ghost. As I was making the move, I wondered if t...
👍
Thanks
Excellent, thanks for that. I live in loudwater and use the river, i missed it this year but will definitely be going next year. I can't get off a Apollo duck for little boats and gentlemen launches 😂
Ah! It's narrowboats for me on Apollo Duck.
Union flag upside down. A pet hate of mine. Love those boats.
Correct, well spotted. And thanks for the comment.
I wonder if sediments got washed into solution holes in a limestone rock, then the limestone got dissolved away over millions of years. That may explain the seemingly fossilised roots, and multicoloured pinnacles. Just a suggestion. Good images.
Thanks for the comment and the suggestion. I think they mentioned something like that in the visitor's centre, and commented that it didn't seem to explain all of them. If you have not seen the Pinnacles, they are certainly worth a look. I found them magical.
Thanls Nick!
Thank you an interesting and superbly narrated video. Not your usual fame promoting clique fest by the You Tube vloggers.
Thanks for the comment. It was a fun day out. I learnt a lot... which is never a nad thing.
That was a wonderful overview of the show Nick! Great photos and perfectly narrated 😊
Thanks for the kind comment - much appreciated.
I'm from the colonies and I watch a lot of narrowboat videos it will be fun to see where you go from here
What worries me is this could all get rather expensive!
