We were just discussing why over a snag or two and the tale of the ‘perfectly’ level caravan show we watched late last year popped up. Names are going to be withheld here to protect those proclaiming innocence. Let’s just use the sanity-accepted ‘he and she.’ He prided himself on precision (where have I heard…

A cheerful grumble about calendars, quarterly reviews, and learning to exist in the in-between. There is a particular flavour of frustration that nobody warns you about when you develop a life-changing condition. It isn’t pain, exactly, and it isn’t boredom, though both of those can show up uninvited and help themselves to the biscuits. No,…

Embarking on the Big Lap from Perth is a phenomenal adventure. Starting from WA gives you a front-row seat to some of the most vast, breathtaking, and remote stretches of highway in the world.To ensure your journey is seamless, you need to prepare the right spares, safety gear, and route logistics. The Route: Which Way…

We…

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…
