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…
We had a big day travelling from Three Springs to Carnamah this week … 22 kms! Uneventful through fields, either already tilled and seeded, or ready to go. Past Yarra Yarra Lakes without a drop of water in them. It looks like it may have been a while since sufficient rain has fallen to make…
What a gem. Not for the facilities available: it’s a conservation area so no ablution blocks, no water, no rubbish bins. Just grsded gravel sites in the Miners Campground. If you love history, beautiful surrounds, and sunsets, you’ll love this. Absolute peace and quiet. No traffic noises, 34 kilometres from the nearest shops, and not many…
We seem to have been inadvertently looking for quirky camping spots to stay for a day or two at a time, so that we can enjoy the peace and quiet, while going for walks through bush land and townships. Deciding to weave our way around the midwest and reading reviews on Wikicamps and Camps Australia,…
Leaving Cue after another couple of days looking for weird old school items in roadhouses and shops, we struck out west and after a hundred-odd kilometres duly arrived at a little country town called Yalgoo. In native dialect it’s believed to mean ‘blood’. With a rugby game due on Stan, that determined Michael’s priority, so…
Travel day. it was a leisurely breakfast; the usual slow wriggle out from under the doona, a protein shake, and the kickstarter for the day … coffee! That was followed by the pre-travel mental checklists. Clean, stow and secure. Fired up Adolf, and after a farewell lap of Cue, we struck out north – as…
