The weather has come in really nasty, lots of rain and strong winds. Despite this we decided it was time to get out and do something. We all headed to Fremantle. The girls and kids went to the Fremantle market whilst Sven and I did a tour of the Fremantle prison. In 1850 the prison was built to accommodate convicts as they arrived as a labour force to establish infrastructure for the Swan River Colony. Fremantle prison is the largest convict built structure ...

We arrived in Singleton (26km south of Fremantle) on the 14th of May. We set up the caravan in Sven & Sarah's driveway. Sven & Sarah are friends that used to live in Avoca. We've carried this package from Sarah's mum (Trish) all the way from Avoca to here to give to Sarah. The main picture here is of Sarah opening it. We spent today looking around the Singleton / Rockingham area. It is pretty here but not as picturesque as Mandurah. It's been grea...

We were up bright an early to drive from Bussleton to Bunbury to swim with the dolphins at the Dolpin Discovery Centre. We got there around 8:30am.

We arrived at Busselton on the 9th of May. Busselton seems to be be a happening place. Lots of bars, coffee shops and resorts. I would think it's the place many Perth people come for holidays. Very pretty and famous for the longest jetty in the southern hemisphere (2km). We found a farm stay around 10km out of town and set the van up there. We have been here for three nights and filled our days in with doing the general tourist activities. These include th...

From our farmstay we headed to Walpole. We dropped our caravan off in town and headed into the Mt Fankland National Park. This area is noted for it's large tingle trees, the main tourist attraction tingle tree is 24 meters around the base. It's an easy 800m walk to get to from the carpark and there is plenty of stops with information boards along the way. From here we headed to another place in the park called circular pool. Here the water comes down a river ...
