Sadly Perth's winter weather had taken a turn for the worse but a few days after our excursion to Fremantle we took the train into Perth and took a bus up to Kings Park. We had been here in spring one year previously so we thought it would be interesting to visit in late winter. …
Less than half an hour from Jurien Bay is one of those rare gems we were fortunate to visit whilst in Western Australia. Lesueur National Park may not be big but for plant/flower enthusiasts it is fabulous. After travelling part of the way there on a sealed road the last part is gravel. However on …

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 …
Like many natural wonders in Western Australia one has to be prepared to leave the main highway to go into Shark Bay World Heritage Area. The good news is that it is a sealed road and anyone can go there. So it was when we arrived at the turnoff from the Carnarvon to Geraldton highway …

To this point of our journey we hadn't stayed on a farm station in Western Australia. Not that far south from Carnarvon and just off the main road was Wooramel Station and a couple at Carnarvon had recommended it to us so off we went. Arriving late morning allowed us a good chance to pick …
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 …
Once our new tyres were put on the Hilux in Tom Price we moved on the next day to the west, firstly travelling through another mining town, Paraburdoo. After a long drive we stopped at Nanutarra roadhouse to refuel. From there we drove a bit further before stopping for the night at the Yannarie Rest …
I'll start this post with a trivia fact - Tom Price is Western Australia's highest town at 747m. Sitting just out of town and above it is Mt Nameless / Jarndunmunha at 1128m. After our morning mine tour at lunch back at the caravan we decided we would head out to Mt Nameless / Jarndunmunha …
