12th June: Enjoyed our stay at Dongarra, lovely park with ocean views. Lots of boardwalks to walk and enjoy the scenery. A young couple with there two children camped beside us, Mia aged 3 and very chatty and her older brother Jak who was 12, nice kids they are travelling for 3 months in a small camper, so glad we have a caravan.

19th June: Kingsway Tourist Park (Suburb of Perth) possibly the worst park we have stayed in this trip, very run down, but all the tourists are very nice, met a young couple travelling in a big bus with there 3 year old daughter Olivia, too cute was this little girl, cant wait for grandchildren of our own. We both enjoyed Perth which is very pretty and modern and also Freemantle where we did all the touristy things, loved the old buildings and museums especially the Museums with the Batavia history. absolutely amazing.

21st June: Robins birthday, I splashed out and took him to a Free Camp for the night, where I gathered the firewood, lit the fire, made the nibbles and organised the drinks. He said not to worry about a present so I took him at his word and didn't buy a present or a card, I felt very guilty, yes I am a slack wife. Unfortunately we witnessed an accident between a car and motorbike, we were parked beside the ride when the motorbike turned into the car. The lady driving the car was in shock, and Robin stayed with the poor biker who was in the middle of the road until the navy paramedics and the ambulance and police arrived. I was very proud of Robin who kept the poor man still who was in an incredible amount of pain. We dont know the outcome, hopefully he survived, they had him listed as critical when he left.

22nd June: Arrived at Busselton where we went for a drive to check out the Margaret River wineries and surf,( lucky for some not lucky for others)no surf but you guessed it lots of wine and cheeses and olives yummo. Busselton has the longest jetty in the southern hemisphere 1.8kms long in face with an aquarium at the end, I was going to go out but the aquarium was closed due to the bad weather we were experiencing. travelled on to Margaret River beautiful green rolling hills, cattle, sheep and horses and vineyards all the way down. Tourist heaven for galleries etc.

26th June: Still no surf, may stay another day or two and see if things improve. Love to all

Sorry this is late, getting slack what can I say. Following the West Coast south, weather has been ordinary to say the least, we have been lucky so far with the weather so just have to grin and bear it. Not a lot to report, got new back tyres on the Territory at Geralton and Robin got the knee board repaired. We actually stayed at a Caravan Park out of Geralton at Greenough, no surf, no fish, we then moved onto Dongara Seaspray Caravan Park where we will stay until the Saturday, nice park with en suite, swimming pool, spa, to cold to enjoy these luxuries though.

Kalbarri National Park



















Well we arrived in Kalbarri on the 29th May and we are leaving tomorrow which will be 9th June, we have had a very relaxing time here. Robins got in a few days surfing and then he had a few days fishing with John , they got lucky with Robin catching a mullaway and tailor and John catching a big mullaway, and they tasted yummy too, still have some in the freezer for another day. John also had a heap of squid that he caught at Exmouth which we managed to eat as well. Having a very healthy diet of fish at the moment. Kalbarri is a lovely little sea side village to stay at and unwind. We also went to Kalbarri National Park where the gorges where absolutely amazing, pictures below. Not a lot to report here just a lot of eating, drinking, relaxing. We are off to maybe Horrick or Geraldton tomorrow, will make our decision tomorrow. Love to all
