We had heaps to do today to organise things with our caravan and car. First we packed up our belongings as we are moving to our friend's house in South Freo for a few nights until we can pick up our caravan. We spent a good part of the day on the phone and also bought solar panels and dropped them off at the caravan yard as they need to be installed. Arrived at her house around 6pm, laden with yummy things to cook for dinner. Made salmon, sweet potato chips and ...

ANZAC day today, and no we didn't take part in any dawn services - other than watching services around the country on TV. We took the opportunity today of it being a public holiday to travel east of Perth to the Swan Valley food and wine trail. We explored a couple of wineries, the oldest church in WA, nut and nougat factories, and importantly for Gadi, a couple of chocolate factories - and even a chocolate liquor place (where of course I had to taste and buy som...

After much discussion about the caravans we had seen we felt quite sure about a second hand caravan we'd seen that we felt was most suited to our needs and requirements. It had a lot of extra features including upgraded suspension making it suitable for outback driving, diesel heating (great for cold nights), combined toi...

Surprised ourselves by waking up really early, packed our last few things and made a toasted wrap each to eat for brekky later, and were on our way by 6.45am. The drive west towards Perth wasn't too bad as we alternated driving and we continued listening to our audio book that we started on the Nullarbor - The Rosie Project. We booked a place to stay for a few days next to Fremantle through Airbnb. We will then stay with our friend later in the week, as we will...
