14th December to 22nd December I’ll start this post with one final comment on the brakes, simply to say that the drive from Glenwood Camping to Banksia Tourist Park, (Perth) was a very stressful one. But we need not have worried about the them. Even though Tom really stuffed them up, Rick (Rick’s All …
20th November 14th December Not being the kind of people who miss an opportunity, we made the best of our stay at Glenbrook Campground, our hostess was wonderful and had no problem extending our stay again, and again…Well, you know what happened, and we used our time well, exploring the area. Mostly for those …
20th November 14th December Readers beware. Apart from a few photos of Ospreys, (must see so scroll down,) this is mostly a technical post, so lots of reading. We ended up spending eight days back at the Fremantle village, and for a change everything went to plan. The car went in on Monday to …

27th October – 20th November So, we have about four weeks to kill before we go back to Fremantle to complete our repairs. Normally that wouldn’t be a problem, we’d just pick a destination and go. But the issue with the van is that we have two bent axles, and scrubbed tires. This means, …
11th October– 27th October This was the last leg of our trip to Perth. Yup, we finally made it, and checked ourselves into Fremantle Village on 11th October. We had the usual medical and mechanical check-ups, and were keen to have a look around Perth, but we’ll get to that later. First, we had …
22nd to 25th September This post is going to be short on words, long on photos, and not a bird in sight. My headliners are just a few of Western Australia’s wild flowers. First off, a little about Lake Grace. It’s southeast of Perth and for the most part, is a system of dry …
26th September – 5th October We headed east from Lake Grace, (I know, we’re supposed to be heading west) through Lake King, another salt lake, and slightly more pink than Lake Grace, then south to Ravensthorpe. They have the wildflower show here every year, and though we knew we had missed the show, we …
20th – 22nd September Wave Rock: I think most Australians would have heard of, if not seen the iconic photos of people “surfing” the wave (I know my mam and dad did). 😊 So, we were excited to visit and “surf” the wave ourselves. Let me tell you, it’s not as easy as it …
15th – 20th September Our next stop was McDermid Rock, followed by The Breakaways. We didn’t know what to expect at McDermid Rock, other than a bush camp near a big rock, but we were looking forward to getting away from the wind and the dust and the sand blasting from Lake Ballard. We …
9th – 12th September 2023 I’ll start by saying Lake Ballard must be one of the most visited, remote, tourist sights. We were there for three nights, and there was a constant stream of day trippers and overnight campers, and for good reason. It’s a relatively short drive from Kalgoorlie (207 km) and on …
