We arrived here in mid-October to do a couple of weeks campground hosting to help out in an emergency, as once again we were between appointments in Perth, and booked to base ourselves at Yanchep National Park. Karda Campground is right next door to the Lesueur National Park, a beautiful park to visit, or go…

We planned to stay here for six days and to relax and have a good rest. Weather was good to start with, but for the last few days we had overcast skies, with a spattering of rain one day, and very little chance of topping up the batteries (with our battery of solar panels): oh…

We pulled in to the RV stop at Beverley, virtually by the Avon River that meanders through the town, after a heavy day’s driving from Wandering – a whole 80 kms! We’re on our way back through Perth for a service on Fritz and some warranty issues for us! There was plenty of room, but…

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…
