09/05/2019 Today we travelled a further 415 kms to arrive at Quobba Blow holes, one of our stops along the way was at the Strombolites, it was here that we met 4 girls of similar ages to our daughters who had hired a campervan from Perth, check out the condition of the tyre. We made […]

08/06/2019 Today we split up the convoy, Rod & Michelle followed the coast visiting Pink lake and Kalbarri, whilst we went straight up the highway about 100kms shorter. Rita gets along a lot faster than MIA, and we are thinking that we will visit this coast line when we come back later in the year. […]

07/05/2019 Today we travel 400 kms to Coronation Beach. On the way we stop at the Pinnacles which is near Cervantes. Check out this light pole out in the middle of nowhere, this is what you call “off the grid”, each pole has its own solar panel and wind turbine, pretty clever yet simple. […]

06/05/2019 This morning we woke up on the beautiful Rottnest Island to wish Rach a happy birthday. After our ferry back to Freemantle, Rod & Michelle picked up their camper and we began the first day of our convoy from Perth to Exmouth. They have named there home for the next 2 weeks “Rita Rocket”. […]

06/05/2019 We came over to Rottnest Island yesterday on the ferry, the weather was forecast to be raining and windy. Fortunately for us there was no rain, the overcast conditions though made our unplanned adventure to the lighthouse cooler to handle. We didn’t realise that it would take 3 hours for our bags to get […]

04/05/2019 We spent the last couple of days around Perth, doing a bit of shopping, we haven’t really spent anytime sightseeing around town, perhaps when we come back later in the year. We also discovered a slice in the side wall of the damaged tyre on MIA, so have now bought 2 new tyres, and […]

We spent the day restocking our supplies, for the first time probably ever it has been 2 weeks since we shopped. We also did some bookwork and caught up on some stuff that we […]

27/04/2019 We came to Jarrahdale because it has a free camp area that has water and a dump point, it is also only about 15 minutes further past Serpentine falls which is somewhere we were going to anyway. When we arrived we met Frank & Shirley who have been on the road for 8 years, […]

25/04/2019 Mandurah is huge, it has Bunnings at both the north and south ends of the town, all of the industry and service providers and a huge Marina. They also have a clear charter that Freedom camping is not supported. So much so that whilst they have a dump point, they have gone well out […]
