Leaving Wooramel Station on our trek home, we stopped at Northampton, a small but lovely historic town 50 kms north of Geraldton. Returned for another meal [bangers and mash for me and pepper steak for Ginny] at the ‘bottom’ pub. Yes, there are 3 pubs, and although they all have proper names they are locally knownContinue reading “Wildflowers & Scenery East of Geraldton”

Wooramel Station Stay
Dog-gone!
We recently came across this small but special cemetery near the town of Corrigin in the WA Wheatbelt…. You guessed right – it celebrates the special bond between dogs and their human families. Lots of love and quite a bit of quirkiness has gone into these final resting places, and a local resident has voluntarilyContinue reading “Dog-gone!”
Back on the road…briefly
After 6 months of city dwelling, it was definitely time to get out bush for a few days – but where to go? We opened our West Australian atlas (old-fashioned but the geography doesn’t change much around here!) with the challenge of finding a place that: • neither of us had visited before – quiteContinue reading “Back on the road…briefly”
Tyre Choice..
Back in 2011, we were in Singapore when Mr Joyce, that marvellous Qantas gentleman, decided to ground all of the airline’s aircraft… not that an extra few days in that great city was any hardship! So our arrival back in Perth was delayed somewhat and we had to ring the Toyota dealer to advise thatContinue reading “Tyre Choice..”
Esperance and the South Coast
Rather than heading directly west to Perth and to continue our coastal trek, we turned south at Norseman as we were keen to explore the southern coast of WA. First stop was Esperance where we stayed at the Pink Lake Caravan Park. The lake is not even vaguely pink – don’t ask! This is aContinue reading “Esperance and the South Coast”
The Fleurieu Peninsula – back to South Australia!
Our 2nd to last border crossing – back into South Australia. Sadly we forgot about interstate quarantine until the morning we were travelling so we had to give up our tiny herb garden. We also passed over our honey, veges and fruit that we couldn’t quickly cook to some happy campers! The lovely part aboutContinue reading “The Fleurieu Peninsula – back to South Australia!”
Great Ocean Road: Part 2
The Great Ocean Road along this rocky coast is described as the world’s biggest war memorial. Why? It was literally built by hand (with a lot of pickaxes and shovels!) by 3000 returned World War 1 servicemen from the early 1920s on. This neatly solved two problems; how to meaningfully employ these men during theContinue reading “Great Ocean Road: Part 2”
Great Ocean Road
One of the experiences we have most been looking forward to on this trip was the famous Great Ocean Road… and it really lived up to our expectations! First though we caught the ferry across Port Phillip Bay from Sorrento to Queenscliff to catch up with old friends in Geelong for a few days. KathyContinue reading “Great Ocean Road”
Back to the coast…
From Canberra we headed back to the east coast to Batemans Bay in the Eurobodalla region. We stayed in the Big 4 park on the northern edge of the Clyde River where it opens to the Tasman Sea – delightful. The town is on the other side of the river and boasts great seafood. There are severalContinue reading “Back to the coast…”
