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.

Australian Fossil Mammal Sites

Australian Fossil Mammal Sites

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

Australian Convict Sites

Australian Convict Sites

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
