Life in the Kimberley

Hi everyone!

My name is Fanny Adams... well not really, but that's been my internet nickname for so long, that I answer to it in real life! I live in the beautiful city of Perth, Western Australia but work over 3,000 km (1,864 miles) away, on a mining site in the far northern part of the state known as the Kimberley. I fly to and from work every week, and feel I get the best of both worlds - I have all the convenience and fun of city living but still get the amazing sights and experiences that abound in the exotic outback.

The scenery up here is beyond spectacular - I never seem to get tired of watching the play of the colours on the rocks as the sun rises and sets. Sunrises are filled with the twittering of thousands of birds in the scrublands. Sunsets are glorious splashes of crimson and gold across the sky. Dry season days are long, warm and sunny; wet season days are all furious tempests and sweltering heat.

I get around a bit up here - bird watching, checking out interesting stuff on the mine, out and about in the great outdoors. So follow me on my adventures... I'd love to share them with you!!
