After being on the road for what seemed like an eternity, (OK, it was only 4 days and 270 kms since we left Perth), we decided to check into Margaret River for the week with the view of checking out the 120 odd wineries (and dozen or so brewies) which make up the Margaret River region. Unfortunately, we got it wrong in booking a week, as we needed double or triple that time to fully take in all what the area has to offer. From the Chocolate Company, (where the ...

As they say, all good things have to come to an end.

Although we had spent so much time in the caravan on the road getting to Perth, it felt funny getting back in the van again and continuing our journey south.

But, if the recent weather wasn't enough to make you cry (especially knowing that just back up the road it is still sunny and around 30 deg...

After leaving Denham, we continued our journey south towards Perth, and after a short drive panic started to set in. Something strange was happened which no one could quite put their finger on. The boys thought someone was peeing on the car (yep, only the boys could think of that), Mum started to think Henry Penny was real, but Dad, being cool, calm and collected, quickly recalled stories told in his younger days of a time gone by where water would fall from th...
