Wednesday 30th July 2008, Carnarvon.
We have been in Carnarvon for nearly a week already and today was the first time we have ventured out to do any touristy things. Even though this area is known for the small amount of rain they receive it has been overcast and threatening rain nearly every day since we […]
Sunday 27th July 2008, Carnarvon.
I thought I would add a little explanation to my short notes on 25th. As we all know the biggest problem we have with travelling WA is the great distances between places, and it is the long distance travelling that we, Linda especially, don’t like. We have had a look at […]

We have now moved the 450K to Carnarvon and will probably be as far as we go up the coast. We have decided that the distances between places is too great especially when we really don’t have any extreme interest in any place further north. We had originally thought of going […]
Tuesday 22nd July 2008, Kalbarri.
We had our return visit to the cliffs along the shoreline south of Kalbarri to take the photos I skipped the other day because the weather was too bad. It was one of those situations where I took heaps of photos because of all the different rock formations, and I have […]
Monday 21st July 2008, Kalbarri.
A trip to the Gorges in the national Park was the order of the day, and they were somewhat of a surprise. The Murchison River, that formed the gorges, is an extremely long river running far from inland. The soil around this area is mainly sandstone so the gorges stretch for […]

The car racing on telly finished earlier today than it usually does so I decided to go for a walk to the river mouth lookout and soak in the ocean scenery. It turns out that for most of the day several whales were frolicking in the water no more than 100 […]
Friday 18th July 2008, Kalbarri.
It was forecast for severe stormy weather from south of Kalbarri all the way round the coast to Esperance today, so I figured we were going to cop some as well. We figured even though it was very windy we could have a venture back down the road about 60K to […]
Wednesday 16th July 2008, Kalbarri.
It seems that Kalbarri will live up to most of the stories we have heard. It is a very scenic place with tremendous coastal views, and river gorges in the National Park. With the weather being a little iffy today we had a recognisance trip along the south coast today with […]
Tuesday 5th July 2008, Kalbarri.
We are now at Kalbarri, about 150K north of Geraldton (See map), and were a little disappointed with today’s travels. We had heard a lot about the new road to Kalbarri from Northampton along part of the coast south of Kalbarri being very scenic, but the weather has turned nasty again […]

The moment of truth has finally arrived: I have mentioned before that I had made the statement when leaving Melbourne that when I run out of tobacco and can’t purchase any more I will give up smoking, rather than get someone to post me some, well that moment has arrived. I […]
