After spending 3 amazing months caravanning through South Australia, Northern Territory, Western Australia and a little bit of our own state Victoria, there are a lot of highlights to remember. So here's a summary of things we would like to recommend. At the end I have also included a few cautionary items. In South Australia …
Now that we are retired and no longer teach we can take our caravan away before or after school holidays. Cape Paterson is on the southern coast of west Gippsland and we planned to meet up with friends at the caravan park there. Our trip down on the Friday, after lunching at home, took us …
The fascinating rock formations known as the Pinnacles can be found half an hour's drive south of Jurien Bay. There is an entry fee of $15 currently to enter this national park. Once we had parked we headed into the Pinnacles Discovery Centre to learn more about these rock formations sculpted by wind and rain. …
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 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 …
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 …
