We left Esperance and headed north to the mining town of Kalgoorlie. I wasn't sure what to expect with this mining town but I was pleasantly surprised. As far as mining towns go it has everything you would need, and the town is set out quite well. The main attraction to the town is the Superpit. In essence it's a giant hole in the ground that is the life blood of the town. However they have created this great viewing platform that allows you to look straight dow...

We left Albany and headed off for Esperance. The drive was mostly uneventful, but the landscape was really pretty, and with storms about the sky was a steely grey colour. We stopped for the night at a bush camp on the beach at Mulingyup. It was $10 for the night..brilliant. We set up and went for a walk to the beach, and discovered a beautiful natural bay similar to Green Pool. The storm was still hanging around and it was such a beautiful location. We walked th...

We arrived in Albany and set up camp at Middleton Beach. I fell victim to the lure of an ensuite site again...it's so much easier with the kids. We went for a drive around the coast and admired the beautiful coastline again. We stopped to look at the replica of the brig Amity. The brig Amity took early settlers from Sydney to their new homes in Albany. There were generally fifty people on board, not sure I would have loved being on a ship that small with fifty p...

We packed up and drove a couple of hours to Walpole. We set up camp at Rest Point and went to explore. We headed for Circular Pool, it is part of the Franklin River. The pools are covered in foam and the currents of the pools flow in circles.The foam is a result of chemical compounds found in the plants. The foam actually gets stained by the eucalypt leaves in the water and looks like a cinnamon topping on the cappuccino-like frothy foam..(always thinking about...

We left Perth and stopped at Bunbury to visit the Dolphin Discovery Centre. We saw turtles, fish, lobsters, octopus, but the one thing we did not discover was a Dolphin....apparently they don't always come in to the bay. I guess it wasn't our lucky day. We went a little further up the beach and had lunch. After lunch we headed for a free camp at Capel. The next morning we headed in the pouring rain to Margaret river. We had only gone a kilometre up the road befo...
