Our departure from Esperance was again a fairly early one with Luke, Megan and family leaving from the same park as us, we met Carol and Kev on the north side of town to form up into our Kalgoorlie convoy crew. Kylie also had reason to be pretty excited as she was born in Kalgoorlie and this was to be her first trip back. We won't say how long ago that was, but it was lots! Enjoying our group travels we made a short smoko stop just out of Norseman. Moving n...

With a few miles between us and Esperance we got on the road fairly early the day of our departure from Bremer Bay. Being still a bit windy and passing through a few small towns we were ready for an early smoko that morning. Seen as it was Remembrance Day and just before 11am we were both ready to spare a thought for our diggers, both past and present, and observe our minute of silence. Now explaining to the girls the meaning and importance of this act was a...

With the southern parts of WA still clinging to the remnants of winter we set off from Pemberton under cloudy conditions but with the slight glimmer of hope that it may be changing for the better. Well after the first few miles were spent in on and off drizzle we pulled into Walpole for our smoko stop. Stepping out of the car into bright sunny conditions we thought our luck was changing. As it turned out we had been suckered and by the time we walked from th...

It made a change from the long distances covered in the north of the state with not very much to look at between stops. Lush farming pastures and paddocks full of mown hay and round bales as far as the eye could see gave way to the thick forests and winding roads before we hit the south coast and the more coastal type scrub you ...

Well another windy day in WA (surely short for Windy Always!?) greeted us as we said our goodbyes to Perth and headed south. We had found out about a campsite on the western side of Busselton, from Luke and Megan, which was meant to be very nice. After missing the very small turnoff first time past, we cruised into a very low key campground. Now what it lacked in flash facilities it more than made up with friendly management and one of the best water front v...
