As our next planned stopping point was Jurien Bay we made our way cross country from Western Flora Caravan Park at Arrowsmith towards the coast. Initially we were on Highway 1 before turning onto the Coolimba-Eneabba Rd that took us across towards the coast where we joined onto Indian Ocean Drive (State Route 60). Along …
After a quick overnight stop in Geraldton we continued driving south. The Western Flora Caravan Park just off the Brand Highway in Arrowsmith was our next destination. Our Tom Tom sat-nav indicated we had arrived but we were in the middle of nowhere so we kept driving and eventually saw a signboard for it. We …

Just as well we like to sleep with the rain on the caravan roof because we certainly had plenty during our second night in Kalbarri. After breakfast we headed over the road to the Kalbarri foreshore area. Every day the local pelicans are given a small amount of fish to start their day. Needless to …
From Hamelin Pool we continued our drive south. After a couple of hours we turned towards the coast from the main highway but it was almost another hour before we arrived at the Murchison Caravan Park, our stopping point for the next few nights. After setting up the caravan we grabbed a few supplies from …

In theory it was only about two and a half hours drive south to Carnarvon from Coral Bay but it ended up taking us quite a bit longer due to the frequent stops we made, mostly to check out the beautiful wildflowers. However our first stop of the day was at the Tropic of Capricorn …
Our next stop was at Coral Bay, which was only about 150kms south, mostly down the Exmouth to Minilya Road before turning west for 12 kms into Coral Bay at the end. Even though Coral Bay is a small town there are two large caravan parks and a resort for visitors. We stayed at Ningaloo …
After walking in Charles Knife Gorge on the inland side of Cape Range National Park the following day we drove from Exmouth up and around the tip, past the lighthouse to the sea side of the national park. At the southern end of the sealed road we could access Yardie Creek Gorge, the only gorge …

After an overnight stop in Port Hedland we headed inland on Highway 95 towards the mining town of Newman. The first section would be about 290kms before the turn off to Karajini. Things were going smoothly until just before 11:00 when we started to back up in a line behind something. As most of the vehicles …
