Coogee to Bunbury
July 12, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
A chilly morning and it didn't really warm up all day. We went south through Kwinana and Mandurah then inland to the Harvey Dam where we had morning tea. There were lots of parrots and butterflies. We walked up to and along the dam wall. The area had lots of livestock - sheep, beef and dairy cattle, pigs and alpacas. We didn't see much of Bunbury except the waterfront so we'll go for a walk tomorrow.Read more

Coogee Beach
July 11, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 13 °C
We were offered our accommodation at a greatly reduced rate for an extra night so we took advantage and had a relaxed day. We walked from Woodman Point to Coogee Beach, then back, and drove the car back to Coogee! Morning tea at the beach, then back to the unit where we sorted out all our maps and planned the next week or two.Read more

Rottnest Island
July 10, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
We went to Fremantle and caught the ferry to Rottnest Island. The hop-on hop-off bus was very crowded at first but quite a lot of people got off at the early stops. We saw quokkas, ospreys, seals, peacocks, seagulls, and crows. On the way back the boat had to slow as apparently there were whales, but we didn't see them. Rottnest has solar and wind power and tank water, only the vehicles use diesel.Read more

Perth
July 9, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 17 °C
Not much driving this morning - just to Cockburn station to catch the train into the city. We had a coffee at the London cafe then got the hop-on hop-off bus to see the sights. After the Mint, the WACA, Optus stadium and Crown Casino, we got off at King's Gardens and enjoyed a few hours. Great views of Perth and so many beautiful plants. Back on the bus, back to the train and back to 'home', which is a cabin at a caravan park for a couple of nights.Read more

Geraldton to Coogee
July 8, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 13 °C
We have to adjust to cold starts every morning now - about 10 degrees when we got on the road to continue south. Lots of flowering plants along the roadside so a slow journey so we could admire them. More sheep and cattle properties evident. We had lunch at a beautiful park in Gingin. Petrol in Perth was the cheapest for the whole trip so far but lots of starting and stopping so we'll use more. A quick stop at Cottesloe to stretch our legs then the final leg to Coogee.Read more

A catch-up day with groceries and gas to buy. We also decided to try to buy another swag but nothing suited so we bought a cheap doona to augment the sleeping mats which have proven to be a bit cold.

We had quite a cold night so a little slower in packing up this morning - also the tent was wet.

Denham

Clear skies this morning so we went for a walk along the heritage trail and bought our National Parks pass. The visitor centre has a lot of information about wrecks off the coast and a memorial to the HMAS Sydney. We drove to Francois Peron National Park and looked at the buildings that remain from a former sheep station. It didn't look like good sheep country! On the way back we stopped at Little Lagoon and David walked around it.Read more

July 4, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 22 °C
A lovely drive here with views of the seagrass beds and coast. We could see the rain clouds gathering so thought we might get a cabin for 2 nights but it would have been expensive so we pitched the tent. Rain and wind came so we sat in the car downtown, drinking coffee and reading. The tent stayed up though and the inside was dry so we had a cosy night.Read more

We left the Pilbara and came to the Gascoyne region today. A day of contrasts - we crossed the Tropic of Capricorn - many kilometres of dry red country with splashes of purple and white. We entered Carnarvon this afternoon - banana plantations!Read more
