We took a drive down to the tip of the Peninsula to see the Point Nepean area. This area has been significant for its use as a quarantine station and also by the military for training and defence. Both uses have left behind many traces to engage our minds. Once the area was no longerContinue reading “Point Nepean 30/7/22”

Cape Schanck 29/7/22
Today we had a really quiet morning, with a long sleep-in. We took a bit of time to get our bearings around the place and play some table tennis and pool, before starting a jigsaw (The edge is done except to 3 pieces) and doing some shopping for supplies. Since the day was sunny (evenContinue reading “Cape Schanck 29/7/22”
2/9/21-Made it to Streaky Bay
We had a vague plan to get to Talia Caves today, but the wind was strong, then the rain started and the weatherman was predicting thunderstorms. We decided to do the traditional “ shelter from the storm” move in imitation of the time we got a cabin at Streaky when we were swagging across fromContinue reading “2/9/21-Made it to Streaky Bay”
28/8/21 – Castle Rock, and finally we arrive at Tozer’s Bush Camp
We enjoyed our breakfast in the camp kitchen at the Porongurup Caravan Park before heading off again . The weather was looking OK for the moment, so we took our chances and headed off to walk the track to Castle Rock. The track was delightful. Just enough climb to know that we were alive withoutContinue reading “28/8/21 – Castle Rock, and finally we arrive at Tozer’s Bush Camp”
20/8/21 Bush Flowers , Beach and the Pinnacles
What a busy day!!! No wonder we were tired at the end of our days while we were on the road. We started our day with the promised tour with Don of his Hi-Vallee Farm.

17/8/21 Kalbarri to Ellendale Pool
All our friends were busy for the day in Geraldton (medical and vehicle issues) so we made our way down the coast from Kalbarri at our own pace. We visited the hot bread shop and bought buns for morning tea. Our first stop was Blue Holes (the in crowd were calling this place Blue PolesContinue reading “17/8/21 Kalbarri to Ellendale Pool”
15/8/21 Shark Bay to Warribano Chimney
Our first stop on the way out of the park was the air compressors. Here we all reinflated our tyres to road pressures. We deviated to visit the historic precinct of old Peron station before we left the park and walked to the bird hide, and over to the old shearing shed and shearer’s quartersContinue reading “15/8/21 Shark Bay to Warribano Chimney”
14/8/21 Wooramel to Shark Bay
Not far down the road from Wooramel station we stopped briefly at a lookout where we could look out into the distance across the flat red plains to Gladstone and the ocean.

11/8/21 Quobba Blowholes and fruit loop
We decided to backtrack a bit and go back out to the blowholes- 80 km or so back along the coast road. On the way along the long, boring road there we noted the large number of nests built on the power poles (the tallest structures along the road). Many have wheel rims attached aContinue reading “11/8/21 Quobba Blowholes and fruit loop”
