Perth

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

Tuesday 29th April 2008, Perth.
We have spent the past two days looking for another caravan park as we are not completely happy with the one we are at. We have decided that parks in Perth have over-inflated prices for what they provide. It seems that if one wants a decent park they must be prepared […]

Perth at last.

Sunday 27th April 2008, Perth.
I wonder if many travellers are as indecisive about their travels as we are. We intended heading off from Albany today and going about 250K to a small place called Wagin (pronounced wage-in), staying overnight only and then moving on to either York or Northam which are about an hour east […]

Albany, A nightmare day.

Friday, April 25th, 2008

Friday 25th April 2008, Albany.
We woke up this morning, late as usual, looked out the window to see the sun shining brightly and wondered whether we were going to have a fine day for a change. This would be good as we had planned on pulling down the awning walls while they are dry so […]

Albany

Wednesday 23rd April 2008, Albany.
We experienced the noted WA winds today, well we have been for most of the week we have been here, but rather we ventured out in it today. We had to go out touring today as we can’t stay here forever, so we ventured down to Whale World and the Peninsula […]

Albany and rained in.

Saturday 19th April 2008, Albany, Rained in.
It is pleasant seeing decent rain since it has been a while, but the unfortunate part is that it is not very good weather for sightseeing. Never the less we will wait until Wednesday, if necessary, until the weather improves to see what we want. There are a couple […]

Albany

Friday 18th April 2008, Albany.
After settling in at Albany we are now getting over our feelings of disillusion with WA. Albany is a reasonably sized city and is quite a nice place, in fact with the weather being as wet as it is if we can’t see all we want to in the week we […]

Wednesday 16th April 2008, Albany.
We are now at Albany after an exhausting 350K trip, see map. We are hopeful that from now on for a while that our trips will be a lot shorter as we are now feeling the results of the long constant travel. We are now also feeling disillusioned with WA because […]

Hopetoun

Tuesday 15th April 2008, Hopetoun.
I am starting to have a change of heart about Hopetoun and am now of the opinion that it is quite a nice area, it is strange how first impressions can have such an adverse affect on ones ideas. This is why we can’t strictly adhere to others ideas of different […]

Hopetoun

Monday 14th April 2008, Hopetoun.
Just to write Hopetoun again to show I spelled it the same correct way. We are now at Hopetoun, about 250K west along the coast from Esperance. See map. Our mail did turn up today so it on the road again. We chose Hopetoun as it will break the long trip […]

Esperance

Sunday, April 13th, 2008

Sunday 13th April 2008, Esperance.
Our plans for tomorrow are somewhat in the air, as we are waiting for mail. It was sent from Tassie on Sunday last week and as of Friday wasn’t here, in my experience this now makes WA the slowest mailing state in the country, second only to Victoria. Our experience there […]
