DannyB Profile
A WHS book for my birthday in 2013 commenced my journey and exploration of WHS sites. Work has interfered with much of my passion to date, however this is about to change in 2025 as we retire and embark on a 5-year overseas journey.
We are travelling with our 7-year-old Boston Terrior Dog, Yoki, which will bring about its own challenges, limitations and above all excitement. It is for this reason we will not be visiting South America, Africa or much of Asia on this initial trip. They will be for another day. We will be doing a combination of fast and slow travel as we coordinate our WHS itinerary.
Finding this website, is like finding my tribe and I hope to contribute regularly with reviews for fellow enthusiasts.
I feel very blessed already in my life to having visited 165 WHS sites at the time of registering, so the remaining 1000+ will just be icing on the cake on this journey called life.
We have created a website, where we will be tracking our journey of our trials and tribulations of travelling with a dog and visiting WHS sites. I am not sure who is more excited, my wife, Yoki or me.
We have just started to create our Social Media platform for social followers - Two Bacons and a Boston - YouTube

Some Sites it is the Destination itself, however the Purnululu National Park is a combination of the journey and the destination. There are a number of ways to get to Purnululu, although Kununurra in Western Australia is the easiest gateway. We chose to drive there, however, many fly into Kununurra and hire a car to travel to the site or chose to fly to or over the site from Kununurra. A high clearance 4wd vehicle is essential to visit the site, otherwise you will not be able to get there at all. The first 220 kilometres is all bitumen paved road and will take you about 2 hours until you turn left onto the unpaved dirt road to Purnululu National Park. The Visitor Centre is 56 kilometres in and this journey will take you about the same time of 2 hours

We were lucky with a Lord Howe Island visit in 2021, at the height of the COVID restrictions across Australia as travel was limited and this location and UNESCO site can only receive 400 visitors at a time to ensure that it remains protected and not overwhelmed with visitation. It is an isolated island in the Pacific Ocean off the east coast from the Australian mainland. The natural beauty on the island did not allow me to take a bad picture. On the island is a small township with the main transport being bicycles - get those legs warmed up. There are a number of walking tracks across the Island for you to take in all the island has to offer. Unfortunately, the main walking track to the peak was closed for maintenance during our visit

Most visitors to this site only visit the Naracoorte site, which is at the southern end of Australia with the Riversleigh Site up in North. I visited the Naracoorte site in Oct 2021 with my wife. Visiting Naracoorte was an easy visit via hire car with a number of caves and sites to visit which was quite interesting. The Riversleigh site is a lot more out of the way and very much less awe inspiring. If you only wish to visit one of the sites to tick this UNESCO site off, I suggest Naracoorte. Riversleigh though was a nice adventure for myself and my son in April 2022 and it provided us an opportunity to visit a lesser travelled area and region. The site itself lacks a lot of visitor information and consists of a small walk around the fossil site area

In April 2022, we finally ticked off all the 11 Individual Convict sites that make up the 1 UNESCO site across Australia with a number of individual trips over the last 2 years. It is funny how COVID made me prioritise our own UNESCO sites due to travel restrictions. Probably the least inspiring of the 11 is the remnants of the Convict Road northwest of Sydney, however made a lovely road trip in the region. Sydney area has a grouping of 4 sites, Fremantle 1, 5 across Tasmania and 1 in Norfolk Island. I found the sites in Tasmania more interesting, however the site at Norfolk Island was amazing. Each of the sites are easily visited with a variety of tours available
