We waved goodbye to the Prelc's and just outside the caravan park we drove past the Killarney Heights family that we met 2 days ago at Green's Pool. We had a 490km drive ahead of us today, so left at a reasonable time (ie, after 10am). The road was fairly straight and the beautiful wildflowers are starting to come out, particularly the WA Christmas Tree which has bright orange flowers on medium sized trees. We stopped at Ravensthorpe for a pleasant lunch a...

With lots to do today, we had an early start (for us!) and left around 9am to Torndirrup National Park where there are 2 amazing attractions. The Gap is a cliff top with a 24 metre drop to sea level. The huge chasm in the rock can be viewed from a platform along its edge. Complimenting The Gap is its neighbouring attraction The Natural Bridge. The large span of granite has eroded over the years, from the sea, and has formed an incredibly beautiful arch. Wh...

Early start this morning so we could visit a couple of tourist spots on a gravel road before our checkout time of 10am. We arrived at the Hilltop Lookout - it was a cool and misty morning, and the view over the Nornalup Inlet and Southern Ocean was very pretty and worth getting up early to see. Next stop was the Giant Tingle Tree with a 1km loop track - a very pleasant walk and a great tree. We headed east, and just prior to Denmark, turned off to Greens Pool....

We packed up today with the Prelc's on one side and another friendly family on the other side heading back to Perth. All the children played around while the 3 families packed up. For us, our first stop was Manjimup to pick up the all-important car inspection papers that we need to register the car with the RMS in Sydney. Brunch was so good yesterday at the Tiger Cafe that we visited again for takeaway today and got on the road to Walpole by about 11am. It wa...

We all woke reasonably early and got ourselves organised for a dual family bike ride with the Prelc's. We left around 9.30am and headed to the Munda Biddi Trail. It was an undulating 8km on mostly fire trail type wide track through some beautiful forests into Deanmill town where we joined onto the actual track which was slightly narrower, and nice and flat through farmland and trees for about 5km and then we were into Manjimup town just as it started to sprinkl...
