Would you believe a couple we met in Lawn Hill, in Queensland, in June, who had a Pioneer Argyle camper, turned up camping behind us in Perth! The couple had just finished their 20 month trip and were waiting to move into a rental property the very next day in their native Perth. They had just come up from Albany and suggested we wait for the weather to improve before heading to the south coast as we would miss out on the beauty of the area in bad weather. Tha...

From Cervantes we drove up to Jurien Bay for a look before making our way back to Perth, stopping in Gin Gin for lunch. We spent a few nights at a caravan park about 10 minutes south of Fremantle before heading back to the caravan park we were in last week which is north of Perth. The plan was to hang about Perth until Christmas. I even met with a couple of accounting agencies over here hoping to get a short term role to take me through till then. The plan ha...

On our way to Lancellin we stopped in Two Rocks and sat by the marina and had our lunch. We then went for a look at Yanchep National Park.

The koalas that we could see were all sleeping. We set up at the caravan park in Lancellin. To be honest this is pretty much all I saw of the town. I d...

We spent Friday night at my cousin Linda's before getting out of their hair early Saturday. We checked into the Karrinyup Waters Resort, a caravan park not too far from Linda's. We took in Kings Park on Sunday morning. It's a lovely spot - beautiful gardens and great views of town and the Swan and Canning rivers. Sunday arvo we strolled around town, spending most of our time in book stores. Sunday night we went for dinner at a Korean restaurant with my cousi...
