Day 65 - Albany to Busselton

Big drive today up to Busselton about 353 km, fuelled up, off through Albany to Mount Barker, Rocky Gully, Manjimup, Glenoran, Carlotta, Nannup, Jarrahwood and into Busselton.

So many State Forests and National Parks, the scenery was so beautiful, massive gums along the road plus some through the green paddocks that were full of Cows, Sheep, Alpacas, we even saw quite a few Emu's.

Came into town on a By-pass road and went straight to the G'Day Park at Broadwater - omg, it was the worst set up Park we have ever seen. The guy at Reception warned me that the roads were narrow - should have stopped there and gone to check. You couldn't drive a small car down the lane we had to turn into with the Van, jumped out to check our site around the corner and there was no way we could even reach the site let alone get the Van into it.

We did a 10 point turn with the Van and exited the Park, I went into the Reception and told him I wanted a refund as there is no way we could get park our Van, he agreed immediately and blamed it on the 50 yr old park and caravans are so much bigger now.

Went down the road to the Big 4, and it is perfect, big sites, lovely staff, and close to everything.

Drove down to the jetty, which is 1.8 km long. The whole foreshore is covered with Cafe's, a Brewery, kids playgrounds and packed with happy families enjoying the sunshine. Someone needed a Rum n Raisin Ice Cream. 😂

We will go back and check out the underwater observatory at the end of the Jetty, maybe day after tomorrow, and have a fish along the way. Supposed to have lots of fish off the very long Jetty.Baca selengkapnya
