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!

Kimba and Iron Knob

Kimba 22nd - 23rd August 2017 Well, here we are, halfway across Australia. It's only taken us seventeen months! Kimba is geographically halfway across Australia on the Eyre Highway. Population around 1,000, so not a big town.  North from our last stop at Whyalla. There was enough to see and do to keep us occupied for a couple of days, and the weather was beautiful and sunny!!! The first point of interest had to be a photo to prove we are halfway. The next on the tourist route is a picture with the big galah. Stunning hey? No-one seems to know the significance of the big galah, or its relevance. The town provides a fabulous camp for $5 per night at the Recreation Reserve. Complete with shower and toilets. Not that we need that now we have the The Penthouse 'd move along!  Fantastic large area walking distance to town, which I did twice. This mural on the side of one of the sheds and the reserve. Silo Art is becoming increasingly popular...

East MacDonnell Ranges

The 17th - 23rd May 2016 TREPHINA GORGE This is a brilliant National Park camp. $6.60 a night! And this view from our site. Only one other campervan here. Another couple - Tim and Martine from Melbourne. Great people our age, and not shy of a chat. Perfect!  And it is soooooooo quiet! There are designated spots that are very spaced out so no risk of anyone parking right on top of us! Love it! First night got set up in time to watch the sunset against the rock. Not a bad view from our "front yard"!  Almost full moon. Moonrise. Feeling the serenity! DAY ONE The Gorge Trail - 1 hour loop This walk was our favourite so far. Almost like a mini Kings Canyon walk. Gorge--ous! Here we go again! Up, up, up. View down to the dry river bed. A lot of the rivers in this region are dry on the surface most of the time. The water flows subterraneanly. The common trees here in the east ranges are River Red Gums. The gums love it in these sandy rivers because they have one long tap root that s...

The Beginning

30th March 2016 So....our life possessions are packed and stored. The Eagle is loaded and ready to fly. I think we are ready for the most amazing journey of our lives. Australia here we come!!! First stop for the "shake down" Double Island Point on the Noosa North Shore. Our favourite place. The weather couldn't have been more perfect. Balmy breezes, full moon rising from the ocean. Perfect holiday weather for lazing in the hammock. Airing down the tyres before hitting the beach Camped on the beach Hours lazed away reading Even on holidays the "jobs" need to be done. Emptying the dunny! Water filling station Full moon over a stunning ocean Nothing beats a camp fire by full moon Looking south over Teewah Beach from Double Island Point The Leisha Track over to Rainbow Bay So we are off to a great start. Next stop back to Wurtulla for a couple of days with Joel and his lot, then Brisbane...
