Sunday 30th June Well last day of the 2012/2013 financial year and probably the last time we will be submitting a tax return. Today we drove the 155kms to Kalbarri. On the way we stopped at the historical site of Lynton which is the ruins of a convict hiring depot that was established in 1853 The convicts were utilised for Government works and in establishing a road to Kalbarri and the Murchison River and the Geraldine mine (lead) operated by Cornish miners.

Friday June 28th After spending the night in a small town called Perinjori we arrived in Geraldton on Tuesday and decided to have a break and stay for five days before moving on. Temperatures here are a little warmer, 20 – 22c during the day and 7-9c at night. The break is great. We get up when we want, laze around, take a walk, read, watch a movie or TV, chat and generally enjoy not having to move on for a while. Geraldton is a big contrast to the othe...

Wednesday After breakfast of bacon and eggs we left Fraser Range early about 8am and drove to Southern Cross, stopping at the roadhouse in Cocklebiddy to have a look at a small museum, have a coffee and take some photos.

We left Kimba this morning after an almost continuous night of rain. I think the rain has followed us since we left home. We arrived here at Ceduna (which means a place to sit down and rest) after expert guidance by our My Escape Navman. What a great tool it has turned out to be. You put in the name of the town you want to head to and up comes a list of everything it has in its database in that town, including caravan parks, so it takes us right to the door. This...
