Friday 31st October 2008, Coolgardie.
We went for a trip into Kalgoorlie today as we had planned and what a day: We have been watching the weather in this area for the past few weeks and have been waiting to get into the 30-35 degree days, and what did we get, a day of very strong […]
Thursday 30th October 2008, Coolgardie.
Another 300 kilometres sees us now at Coolgardie, about 40K SW of Kalgoorlie. We chose to stop here to save carting the van in and back out of Kalgoorlie, and it is also cheaper. We don’t intend doing much at Kalgoorlie so a day trip tomorrow should see it out. We […]
Tuesday 28th October 2008, Merredin.
We arrived at what could be our third last stop before making that trip across the Nullarbor again. We are now at Merredin (see map) which is on the main highway half way between Perth and Kalgoorlie. We had a minor tyre problem today on the caravan with one tyre being […]
Monday 27th October 2008, Hyden, Wave Rock.
We are finally getting some warmer weather, almost thinking of turning on the air-con, it is nice for a change not having to run the heater of an evening. We went to Wave Rock today and also did the long walk around the area, we have now made up […]
Sunday 26th October 2008, Karlgarin, Hyden.
Went for a drive to Hyden today, but as we started day-light saving today and we slept in we were a little late getting away, I also wanted to watch a little car racing when we returned. We decided that we would not have enough time to see Wave Rock […]
Saturday 25th October 2008, Karlgarin.
We have finally reached the vicinity of one of the only must see destinations we knew of in WA before we headed across this way, Wave Rock at Hyden. We are camped at Karlgarin (see map) about 20K west of Hyden because the caravan park is a lot cheaper than the […]
Thursday 23rd October 2008, Narrogin.
We are now at Narrogin, about 150K east (see map), and will only be here for 2 days. We chose to stop here because it was too far to go to Hyden in one leg. It seems a nice enough town, the caravan park leaves a little to be desired though […]
Tuesday 21st October 2008, Collie.
Today was the day to visit Wellington Dam National Park and do some bush-walking, but again when we awoke it was raining. We decided to go there for a drive anyway and it was just as well we did, because we saw something that really made the days travel worthwhile. Let’s […]
Monday 20th October 2008, Collie.
Today we had intended going to Wellington Dam National Park, but when we awoke to a thunder storm passing close by we decided to have a trip into Bunbury for a look. Bunbury Is about 55K away, on the coast, and it wouldn’t have mattered if it rained because we only […]
Saturday 18th October 2008, Collie.
That old usual feeling is starting to happen again: It is just starting to sink in that we are on our way back east (home) and our attitude is once again starting to change to ‘all we want to do is get there’. We had a walk around the river walk […]
