Basing ourselves in Port Gregory, it was an hour or so drive up the highway to the coastal town of Kalbarri. It was an early start for us as Tara had booked an eyebrow wax for 8:45am… Larry wasn't impressed as he couldn't even find a car wash to keep him and Tristan occupied! Vic (Linga Longa) told us about 14,000 times to check out all the coast lookouts on the LEFT, he wasn't wrong. After Tara's beauty regime, it was off to Kalbarri National Park. The long...

After a quick stop off at Busselton- Tara had to pick up her 2 cases of bub...

"Originally had planned to stay in Margaret River for three nights, but as soon as we drove through the gates of Big Valley that quickly changed to a week… Ended up staying two and a half weeks! Beautiful location, clean amenities, friendly folk and wonderful owners. Highly recommend! (Our WikiCamps review of our stay at Big Valley, Margaret River) It was finally upon us, one of our big ticket items for WA- the MIGHTY Margaret River… Although the river is ac...
