Australia - originally quite
"Look at that!" Jodie Hebb's cry wakes me from my nap in the passenger seat. On the left I see a few two-story wooden houses, the Indian Ocean to the right, behind the skyscrapers of downtown Perth and jam in front of us. Outside it was 35 degrees. I am trying to identify the cause of the jam. Accident? Construction site? But there is nothing. A few cars ahead of us has someone stopped, rolled down the window and talking to a buddy who comes from the opposite direction. No one gets upset. "In Sydney or Melbourne would now all honking wildly," says Jodie. "Here no one honks that I love about this city."
I have met the 35-year-old at the weekly market in Fremantle, where she sells shoes. Over coffee she told me that she has lived for eight years on the East Coast, in Sydney and Melbourne. And that she was homesick. Three years ago, came back to Jodie. "What I miss most is the art of Western Australians to live slowly," she says. In the city of Perth is low sandstone colonial buildings and skyscrapers with glittering steel and glass facades, such as cakes are stacked upon each other. In between are the 1.4 million residents in cars and buses, on bicycles or on foot - and above all in peace.
Perth is the most isolated city in the world - closer to Jakarta than to Sydney. The remaining 500 000 West Australians live in an area which is about seven times larger than Germany. Long were hardly any tourists in the West, and even most Australians have never been to
Cheap flights from London to Perth
Eight hours of sun a day - every day, 12,000 km coastline Western Australia has - during the day to give the beaches in front of the heartbeat, in the evening the bars as the "Onyx" in Perth

The way to the start of loneliness by photographer Martin and I rent a car heading south. Curves in the State Route 10 meanders over rolling hills, like ghosts to prevent shaggy luxuriant shrubs on both sides of the road, branching off from the trails to the coast again and again. To where the wind blows with all his might and snapped the deep blue Indian Ocean to the continent. Reluctantly, we drive to the winery, "Wise Vineyard" past the high aluminum tanks where the wine ferments. Here we wish to arrive a few days. Not a soul in sight. Welcome to simply key in the door lock of our wooden cottage.
"Wise Vineyard" is located in the quiet of a hill, near the coastal town of Dunsborough. 60 km to the Margaret River meanders through the country. His gift is fertile ground, an exception in an otherwise arid Western Australia. In the sixties, planted the first winery in the region, its vineyards, but only in the last 15 years came the boom. Today there are about 50 wineries in the area: from noble palaces to small family farms that invite their guests to a wine tasting in the living room.
