    Rest Stop, New Norcia, WA

    Jun 9–10, 2021 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    New Norcia is located 130 km north-east of Perth via the Great Northern Highway.

    When the Benedictine Monks established their mission on the banks of the Moore River they named it New Norcia after Norcia in Italy which was the birthplace of the order's founder, St Benedict.

    New Norcia is a little piece of the Mediterranean in the Australian bush. It is a combination of a monastery, schools, a church, a hotel, a working farm, a beehive, wells, an art gallery and a museum. It has remained fundamentally unchanged since it was created in the late 1840s .    Read more

    Paynes Find, WA

    June 10, 2021 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    Paynes Find is a former gold rush settlement with a rich seam of pioneering and prospecting history approximately five hours north of Perth in the Mid West region of WA.

    The small pastoral and mining community of Paynes Find forms part of the Shire of Yalgoo.
    The townsite was gazetted in 1911, the same year the Paynes Find Gold Battery was constructed.

    The town is named after the prospector, Thomas Payne, who was the first to discover gold in the area and was the first to register a lease for gold mining with the Mines Department. As a reward for his discovery, he was allowed to crush his first find of gold-bearing ore through the State Government Battery, free of charge.

    By the 1930s the town had prospered and the population was estimated at about 500. In 1987 the battery was sold to the Taylor family. The Gold Battery is now a tourist attraction and still operates today, making it the only working gold battery in Western Australia. A visit to the battery museum will also uncover a host of relics from the local mining, pastoral and sandalwood industries.

    From late July to September, thousands of nature lovers are drawn to the region by the promise of treasure of a floral kind, as spring wildflower season turns the outback landscape into a blanket of vibrant colour. Picnic in blooms of pink, yellow and white everlastings while you spot emus, kangaroos, wedge tailed eagles and Bungarra lizards in their natural habitat.    Read more

    Met up with Chris Dryland & Kristin Rogers.

    This free camp is about one hour north of Port Headland and just over three hours south of Eight Mile Beach.

    What we have noticed with most free camps in the upper part of Western Australia, is they are well thought out.

    They all generally have several undercover seating areas. Along with BBQ’s, long drop toilets and rubbish bins which are frequently cleaned and lined with new bags.

    Pulling in to this very large camping area we noticed it had two sections. The top area which will fit many large rig’s.    Read more

    Kimberley Enterance C/P, Derby WA

    Jun 13–14, 2021 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C

    Derby is located 2392 km north of Perth via the shorter, inland route or 2515 km via the coast road. It is 222 km north-east of Broome.

    Derby is a small service town with a huge wharf surrounded by unique and special attractions. Its importance for visitors lies in its position at the western end of the Gibb River Road; its closeness to Mowanjum Aboriginal Art & Culture Centre with its magical exhibition of Wandjina creation images; its fascinating, if disturbing, Boab Prison tree; its access to the largest coral reef in Australia; its regular flights to the magical Horizontal Falls; and its magical story of Jandamarra (Pigeon), the daring local First Nation warrior who outwitted the local police and became a hero to his people. Derby is a strange outback town which, like so many of the towns in the Kimberley, is more important because of the surrounding attractions rather than any appeal that might exist within the town. It is famed for its huge tides which, at their extreme, rise and fall up to 11.8 metres leaving the town surrounded by vast mud flats.Read more

    Ivanhoe Crossing, Kununurra WA

    June 19, 2021 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C

    Ivanhoe Crossing was originally part of the main Kununurra to Wyndham Road.
    This concrete causeway was built over the mighty Ord River and remains in flow year round. The crossing is a great place to cast a line in search of the elusive barramundi, or to enjoy sunset across the river.
    Depending on road openings, it may be possible to drive over the crossing, however it is important to bear in mind that the crossing itself is wide, and the current from the river very strong. Road access to the opposite side of the crossing is also possible via the Victoria Highway (travelling in the direction of Wyndham), turning off the highway to follow signage to Valentine Springs, Black Rock Falls and Middle Springs.

    Estuarine crocodiles can be seen at Ivanhoe Crossing, so the area is not safe for swimming. Please pay attention to the safety signage at the crossing itself.    Read more

    The Hoochery Distillery, Kununurra WA

    June 19, 2021 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C

    Built on the Dessert family farm just outside of Kununurra, the small pot distillery was created entirely by hand. Everything, from the still to the building itself, was crafted from materials found around the farm. Spike even taught himself to distil, with nothing more than a passion to make good, honest rum.

    And after 25 years, nothing’s changed. Made from Australian sugarcane, wet season rainwater, and yeast, our Ord River Rum’s still made by hand. It’s vat-fermented, pot-distilled, painstakingly aged in oak barrels, and hand-bottled by us. The 300-litre oak barrels naturally colour and flavour our rum, giving you a smooth, tropical flavour, with an oaky finish.    Read more

    The reason this place is called Buttons is from the river rock that makes up the ground that you camp on. The smooth round shape on the stones give it a button look. Which by the way was a nice change from the red dust & dirt. Our highlight was falling asleep to the sound of running water of a night being parked up near the water. (but not too close)Read more

For those in a group, or large families, there is also a 4-bedroom homestead available to stay in that sleeps up to eight people.

    Facilities at Two Jays Caravan and Camping include an amenities block consisting of eight ensuite-style bathrooms, each with toilet, shower and basin, and a guests’ laundry.
