    Greenbushes to Augusta

    April 5, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C

    Set off on our trip to Augusta, via Bridgetown.
    Stopped at Bridgetown, which seems a great place to spend time. Did some shopping. Also picked up a tip that we can pass on - the caravan parking spot just behind the main town area, is a good spot to leave the van whilst you walk around the town. And it also has free power for you to use if you wish.
    Continued our trip, via Nannup, and another tip for would be travellers. If you are looking for possibly the best pie in Australia, look no further than the Nannup bakery. We have previously experienced their pies when we stayed in Nannup with the SA family earlier in the year. So, a return visit was needed.
    And on a slightly related topic, we also made use of the public dump point, which is just near the caravan park.
    On to Augusta and checked in at Munday CP, which is located just north of the Augusta town. This is a small farm block which has recently been converted into a caravan park, with all the facilities. A very friendly and welcoming host. A bit pricey at $40 per night, but good and comfortable.
    Hooked everything up, and setup.
    The host puts on a fire box in the camp kitchen area, and all people in the park pop over at 5pm for a drink and chat. If you get there at 5.01pm, you are regarded as being late. We were a bit late, but enjoyed a couple of hours around the fire, chatting with everybody. Picked up some good tips and suggested places to visit. These Grey Nomads are very friendly and very keen on a chat. Lordie me, can they chat !!
    A cold night, but all ok with an extra blanket on the bed.
