After years of talking about it, planning it, re-planning it, and planning it again, we finally left Perth to begin a new life as semi-retired, itinerant travellers; selling up, repurposing items, and still putting way too much ‘stuff’ into storage (we just know there’ll be another cull to come later) and the rest to the…
They’re playing our song!
Our first trip away since just after Christmas – a nasty little (well, maybe not so little) thing called work got in the way. After ANZAC Day, with the pressure off, we took our time travelling down to Dryandra Woodlands and stayed at Gnaala Mia in Congelin, off the York-Williams Road. It’s a fabulous spot…
It was almost a spur of the moment thing, but with New Years Eve looming, we decided once the inebriated from a rowdy chorus of Auld Lang Syne were off the road, we’d head bush for a few days. It’s only been a few weeks since we had our new awning put on, and we…
We left Perth on the way to the North Eastern Wheatbelt area of WA. Booked in to the Wyalkatchem caravan park for two nights, intending to see some wild flowers, and the old sights of the area. We came through the towns of Toodyay and onto Dowering, where there was a statue of “The Tin…
This one started with a trip back to the 12v specialist in Bunbury to get the inverter checked, and we stayed at the Discovery Caravan Park on the Bunbury Foreshore for the night. We had recently joined the Koombana Bay Sailing Club, and with restrictions just eased, we went for dinner. A fantastic meal and drinks…
It’s New Years Day and we were just thinking about the year that was. One trip in early December certainly stands out! We had to be in Australind to get some 12 volt work done to the rig, so we thought we’d make a trip of it and go a week earlier. Best made plans…
What a delight! Potter’s Gorge is a camp ground in the Wellington Dam National Park and it’s on the shores of Wellington Dam. Between Bunbury and the coal mining township of Collie. We needed to get some work done on the van, and the fastest we could get it in for a service was to…
We had looked online for a quiet caravan park with facilities, possibly in bush surroundings. Toodyay seemed to have good recommendations and only 11/2 hours from home. It was Toodyay Holiday Park and Chalets. When we arrived it seemed great, plenty of trees, quiet, but the grounds – compacted gravel/ground and no grass! We were…
