Day 67: Fitzgerald River National Park to Fraser Range (Newman’s Rocks)
Friday 9th September 2022 We went about our usual pack up day routine, enjoying the company of friendly travellers in the camp kitchen over breakfast. They were preparing for a day of walks and sightseeing so we shared photos and orchid locations. Then our tent neighbour gave us Nullabour recommendations and his website (redbanksia) to…

Day 66: Fitzgerald River National Park
Thursday 8th September 2022 It rained sporadically and the wind seemed to pull at the tent all night, but it must have stopped at some point as we woke to a still, calm morning. What a relief, I half expected the tent to be partly collapsed in the morning. Thank goodness we are protected by…

Day 65: Pingrup to Fitzgerald River National Park
Wednesday 7th September 2022 It was nice to wake up in beds with heating, knowing that we were heading back into the tent with cold nights! We had breakfast, packed our things, then headed across the road to a Cafe – one of the few places in town and quite lovely! On the way we…

Day 64: Perth to Pingrup
Tuesday 6th September 2022 We said our sad goodbyes today – first to Tim, Tessa and Jack, then Soph, and finally Sheila. It was hard to leave such a comfortable time, especially when it’s pouring rain outside, it felt so wrong to go! We left at 11, and made our way out of Perth and…

Day 63: Perth
Monday 5th September 2022 Today was scheduled as leaving day, but given the forecast for heavy rain and storms we decided to push it out a day. There was rain all night, followed with a rainy morning, so we enjoyed hanging about for yet another day of doing very little! Richie watched the tennis for…

Day 61: Perth
Saturday 3rd September 2022 Woke to rain, happy to be in a house! We had a very lazy morning, reading books to the kids, sitting around. The kids started to run riot in the house, and we decided it was time to get some outside play. We ventured to a nearby school and played in…

Day 60: Perth
Friday 2nd September 2022 Soph has taken the day off work, and we are pretty much planning on doing nothing at all – a break from driving and dealing with campsites!The kids are absolutely loving seeing each other, and they are having an amazing time in Sheila’s enormous house – so many rooms, stairs, great…

Day 59: Three Springs to Perth
Thursday 1st September 2022 We had an uneventful morning, packing up camp while the kids played in the playground. Then we hit the road for Perth! We couldn’t resist stopping in to see New Norcia, a monastic town with incredible buildings! It would be interesting to do a guided tour of the town, which I…

Day 58: Three Springs
Wednesday 31st August 2022 It’s definitely getting colder! This morning saw us dig out the bag of scarves, beanies and gloves that was tucked away when we reached northern Australia! I cooked french toast for breakfast, inspired by the purchase of some rather solid feeling Woolworths gluten free croissants, that were begging to be cooked!…
We are on holiday!
