• Dandaragan Transit Caravan Park

    Dec 3–4, 2024 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    We've chosen this spot from Wiki Camps as it sounds great at $20 per night with power. Yes good decision - lovely spot and good facilities nicely maintained. This is the 2nd spot we've come across that offers free use of their laundry. We don't need to use this as we washed yesterday. We are greeted by a camp caretaker Sam, she helps guide us as to how to book in online. Just as well she does as it's not that straightforward - get it done though.
    We chose site 2 with power and water. Settle in - put out our awning (don't need our mat as concrete slab for site). Then we go for a walk along Dandaragan main street. Call in at the Information centre/library/ gift store. I have fun purchasing some gorgeous cards - prints from a local artist- and a Christmas hand towel I can use in the caravan. Roger looks over Tourist information. Then we go to the General Store, we buy an icecream each and a jar of strawberry jam. Walk back to our caravan and set up our camp chairs and enjoy a bottle of bubble - on a nice grassy area nearby. Our neighbouring campers come and join us - bring their chairs and drinks, we all enjoy a lovely chat. Geoff with his dog, female black greyhound, Clyde and then our two camp hosts Sam and Tess.
    We all head back to our own camps to have our tea. Roger and I have tacos tonight. Do the dishes - then before 7pm we wander to the hall nearby to watch the local Primary School's Awards and Performance evening. Get back from this shortly after 8.15pm. Roger goes and has his shower. Now relaxing before bedtime.
    4/11/24 Wednesday. We get up around 6.30am and have our breakfast. I go and have a shower then come back and help get ready to leave. Before we head off I update our budget books while I've got mobile service - listening to ABC radio this morning - apparently getting service is very sketchy around this area. We leave here before 9am.
