Off-the-Road: Caravaning … Day 16

Northam to Forrestfield
Distance Traveled: 63 Miles

Traveling the last little bit from Northam to Perth, we are now off the road!

If you want to be technical about it, we are in Forrestfield, a suburb of Kalamunda … about 15 miles southeast of Perth. Regardless, we are done caravaning … having driven 2,770 miles to get here from Melbourne, Victoria.

Before leaving Northam this morning for the wet drive — plenty of rain from ex-Cyclone Lincoln — to get us here, we took a detour into the Northam CBD. Quiet … everything closed down. Sunday after all. But we did find some of the public art I had read about. We even picked up a map from the Visitor Center to walk around and look for more art, but the sprinkling of rain turned into a soaker and put paid to that plan.

Thus we called our sightseeing quits and moved on, hoping to find dry weather near Perth. We did … for a while. Now it is raining again … on and off. No worries. The rest of today is supposed to be R&R anyway.Läs mer
