Miami Cvan Park, Falcon, WA

Falcon is a southern suburb of Mandurah, located southwest of Mandurah's central area and with frontage to the Indian Ocean.

Grassed site with small shade cloth gazebo facing the estuary. Public path runs along edge of sites and can be quite busy. The night before we left the park, a bicycle was stolen from a cvan a couple of sites up from us. The park owner was apologising to everyone. The police had been informed and a report lodged. But to be honest, I'm surprised that was the only thing that went missing in the fortnight we were here. People don't seem to be very security-minded with their gear and leave everything out in the open....possibly forgetting that the sites are open to public access via the shoreline and pathway.
Lots of prickles, flies and annoying people.
The first week was great. We only had 1 neighbour in our entire row and she was a self-confessed "Cougar" (71yr) and her Toy Boy "Mel" (56yr). We had a hoot listening to Doug's stereo singing to all the 80's tunes when the day cooled down. We had 4 x consecutive days of over 40C and when the temp. did drop it was only to 39C.
The Thursday before Christmas saw the park fill ..... we had neighbours on both sides who were friends and used our site as a thoroughfare, and had no issues shouting at each other across the top of us. Was not pleasant at all.
An older couple in an 18yr old Winnebago "Timbuktoo", Dolce & Alan, from Kendenup, moved into a site opposite us. They had been on the road for 18yrs. Dolce liked to talk and considered herself a font of knowledge in all things. I did pick up some good tips but had to filter those gems from the rest of her chatter.
We spent most of our time back & forward to Rhi's in Baldivis trying to figure out how all our stuff at her house was going to fit into our rig! Needless to say, there is still quite a bit of gear at Rhi's that will need to be packed into the sea container. Her lease expires end of February, so it will be a now issue, rather than a later issue.Leer más
