Moore River

16th - 20th November 2016

Moore River is a wonderful, friendly seaside village about 100 klm north of Perth. Our best buddies that we met at Barn Hill are fortunate enough to call this place home.

Just a bit excited to be seeing them again, and having some luxury accommodation. Not to mention green, green grass.

We are having a few days here before heading to Perth for 10 days, then back again for a couple of weeks.


Mike and Margo's backyard.


They have an amazing vegie garden.


Great day out exploring the Moore River.






Margo doing a sterling job of tying us up so we could have our picnic lunch.


Mouth of the Moore River. It is rare for it to be open to the ocean. Deb and Harry in this shot. They came up for the week end.


Plenty of laughs meeting Margo's sister, Alli and friend Jude.


And not forgetting Maisie.


Neat sculture.

Mike and Margo have a beautiful boat down at Fremantle. We went to check it out before  checking into our Perth accommodation. Very nice.!



Keen boaters.


The day was lousy for boating, so there was nothing else to do but go to Fremantle and have some chilli tomato mussels.


Dezzi pretty happy with that decision. Fremantle is fabulous. Can't wait to explore it more next week.

We love Moore River and feel so at home with Mike and Margo. Can't wait to come back for a couple of weeks.

Next stop Perth....big city!

Nannup - Manjimup - Pemberton - Walpole

The Southern Forest Region 27th March - 14th April 2017 Stunning forest drives, walks through majestic karri, marri and tingle tree forests. Beautiful coastlines and quaint towns that once thrived on timber cutting. The first stop in this magnificent region, the small town of Nannup and our camp at Barrabup in the Karri forest. It feels so good to be back on the road exploring new areas after our huge stay in Moore River. Nannup (Barrabup Camp - National Park) Welcome to Nannup! Flowers everywhere and autumn trees with their golden leaves. The main street of Nannup. What a change! Camping among the tall trees instead of by the beach. No other campers while we were there. Ahhhhh the serenity. And our first camp fire in months. Not the greatest weather. So this is how you keep the camp fire going during a shower of rain! Lots of cheeky possums. Where we were camped was once a thriving timber mill. So hard to imagine as there is nothing but for

Gippsland

Gippsland 23rd April - 4th May 2018 Victoria has so many beautiful little towns. From Bonnie Doon we wound our way down from the highlands through Marysville and Yarra Junction, heading east to Gippsland. Our destination - the little town of Yinnar near Moe, and our fellow travelling friends Kevin and Penny, who we met in Western Australia. Looking forward to some fun times. Kevin and Penny allowed us to park up in their driveway, so plenty of happy hours. Also, we had a number one guide to explore this region. Yinnar 23rd - 27th April 2018 Walhalla An easy day drive from Yinnar, Walhalla is a small town founded as a gold mining community in late 1862 and at its peak home to around 4,000 residents. Today, the town has a population of 20 permanent residents, and a large proportion of holiday houses. The town's name is taken from an early gold mine in the area, named for the German hall of fame, the Walhalla Temple. Walhalla has been restored for tourism and is a beautif

Esperance - Cape Le Grand - Norseman

Esperance 12th - 14th May 2017 The weather is starting to get chillier, which is a shame. The ocean is so blue, crystal clear and begging to floated in! A couple of days in Esperance to get the washing done, stock up on groceries and revel in this magnificent coastline before heading out to Cape Le Grand National Park. Great, quiet caravan park. Loving the cooler weather for camp fires. The foreshore in town was perfect for a picnic lunch and stroll along the jetty. Day two and off to explore the coastline. There is a tourist drive/loop called Great Ocean Drive. And it was great! First stop, the Pink Lake. Not very pink anymore, but magnificent on this incredibly calm morning. So many spectacular, magnificent, stunning, beautiful bays. Crystal clear sparkling water. The superlatives go on and on. I'll let the pictures tell the story. Simply taking it all in. A scramble down the stairs and over the rock pools.
