We left Sandstone, and we’re glad we took the time to visit. It was a round trip from the Highway of some 320 kms, but gave us the chance to sit and enjoy peace and quiet, and recharge our batteries, not the caravan’s, they’re fine. Next stop was a recommended roadside rest area, with an…

We left Cue and travelled to Mt Magnet to collect a few supplies (sounds like the Wild West movies!), and turned left to Sandstone. Read a little about it, but not knowing a lot, but it was on the list so off we went. 150 kilometres later the town was in sight. A good tarred…

There is an iconic hotel ruin in Big Bell, now a ghost town, since the gold mine closed in 1955. At one time it was reputed to have the longest bar in Australia. All that is left are the ruins of the hotel, lots of slabs from previous homes, and signs indicating where some buildings…

We departed the free camp just before Newman, and cruised around the town. Had to do a bit of food shopping and easily found the shopping centre. They had an IGA, Woolworths, Chicken Treat, Subway and generally shops that cover the day to day essentials. Quite the tidy town, which surprised me, as I assumed…

We left Onslow and headed for Nanutarra Roadhouse to refill the tanks and turned towards Paraburdoo, stopping at an overnight free camp – Spuds.  It’s a huge area, quiet with little road noise, and the bonus, we were the only ones there. We have been blessed with the weather, and next day was no exception.…

Next stop from Carnavon was Minilya Bridge Roadhouse. Two free camps here, south, the first one you come to was full. So we drove over the river to north of the river, and there was heaps of free spaces. Setting up camp for the night, we appreciated the peace and quiet of the area, with…

We visited the Carnarvon Space & Technology Museum today, and spent 1/12 hours there  and could have spent more time. A must see for visitors to the area. It was very informative and they had great replicas on site. For example, right to the exact measurements, of the first lunar landing module. It was small.…

We left the Overlander Roadhouse ar checkout time, but of the 22 vans that were the night before, we were relaxed and the last to leave with a blistering 80kms to cover. Tossed up where we were headed, apart from north, and decided a stay at Wooramel Station’s River Retreat. Flat ground, well sort of,…

The jewel in the crown of this area, is Money Mia. Twice a day the rangers feed dolphins by hand. Visitors can take photos from the shore or from a short jetty, and occasionally they will select a few visitors to join them. Obviously we were there late in the afternoon, looked through the Visitor’s…

The journey continues: After weeks of to and fro for commitments in Perth, we finally left Yanchep heading for Eneabba for the night’s stop. However, weariness overtook us and we stayed at Karda Reserve overnight.  Love it there. Incredibly peaceful.  Next day we were off to Nabawa, and a couple of nights at the Valley…
