This morning we left our little campsite at Mount Walker and drove by fields of stunning yellow canola set against a backdrop of blue sky dotted with fluffy white clouds. We passed another of those funny/silly tourist icons - this time a shoe fence studded with shoes of all colours and sizes stretching over a kilometer or so of highway. We stopped in the tiny town of Narrembeen to check out the Grain Discovery Centre, which gave us an insight into the history and...

We visited Wave Rock today, along with heaps of other tourists. A natural rock formation shaped like a breaking wave, it is far smaller than you think it will be at around 14 metres high and 110 metres long. We had hoped for more sunshine while at the rock but the day proved mostly cloudy with little pockets of sunshine. We took lots of photos, as you do when you get to a touristy destination. We ate lunch sitting by the fire at the cafe next to the rock and the...

Today was a day for seeing rather odd tourist attractions! We left our campsite this morning and headed first into the tiny town of Shackleton, known for having the tiniest bank in WA (open only for an hour and a half each week) and a local resident who has created a rather novel garden filled with creative statues made out of recycled materials. Next stop was Bruce Rock and a quick stop in town before heading to Corrigan where we drove to a lookout to eat lunc...

Left the caravan in our free camp in York this morning to go for a walk in town checking out all the historic buildings - and the lolly shop. We'd been told there was a market at the Mill but unfortunately it was the following week. We drove up to the town lookout, getting a great view over the surrounding fields and the little town laid out below. We then headed back into town and decided to enjoy the sunshine sitting with Devonshire scones and coffee in a lov...

Packed up this morning - always a lot to do when you've been in one place for a while. We finally left Cottesloe in Perth at 1pm, knowing we were only planning to drive a little over 100km east to the tiny heritage-listed town of York. It's always a bit odd to drive towing the caravan after we have been in one place for a while. You forget how heavy it is and how cumbersome, but most of all you forget how much other drivers hate sitting behind you and do their ...
