Day 67 - Margaret River After 9.5 weeks on the road we woke up to our first rainy day. It’s raining, cold and windy! We drove to Augusta and went to Cape Leeuwin Lighthouse. It’s Australia’s tallest mainland lighthouse and is situated at the most south-westerly tip of Australia, where the Indian and Southern oceans meet. As we were getting blown around by the wind Josh nearly stepped on a snake. We didn’t expect to find any snakes on the walking track ...

Day 66 - Busselton to Margaret River (44kms) We drove to Busselton Jetty which is the longest wooden piled jetty in the Southern Hemisphere at 1,841 metres. We walked to the end stopping on the seats for a rest (for Bronte), to watch the boys fish for squid and to chat to the locals fishing. Once we got to the end we sat and admired the view for a while and then it was time to slowly make our way back. The boys stopped a thousand times to throw in their line an...

Day 65 - Bunbury to Busselton (71km/1 hr) We woke up to the beautiful sounds of waves crashing at the beach. Rog cooked us bacon & eggs at the public BBQs and the kids enjoyed playing with the dogs that were going past on their morning walks. We drove to Koombana Beach to the dolphin discovery centre to see if any dolphins were visiting. The water was very choppy and we didn’t spot any as we are too early in the season. The dolphins are in abundance aroun...

Day 64 - Perth to Bunbury (172kms/2 hrs) We left Perth at 10am and were very happy to be on the road again. We weren’t staying at a very good caravan park (they had a few issues with some of the perms) and we always got lost every time we drove in and out of the city (our Navman couldn’t cope with the freeways!). On our drive we saw 2 alpacas being transported sitting down in the back of a special made trailer. Josh thought it was the best thing ever. We ...

Day 63 - Fremantle & Perth We went to Bunnings and swapped our gas bottle then did some shopping at Aldi. The it was time to drive to Fremantle. First we did a little detour past Bibra Lake and saw some swans then continued to Fremantle. Our first stop was the Round House for the 1pm canon firing but we missed it by 2 mins! So instead once everyone left we had a look at the canon and then went inside the Old Round House which was the first jail from 1831 t...
