Hub & Spoke Camping in Forrestfield

Being off the road doesn’t mean that we are out of the motorhome. Not yet.

Having jiggled our road plans, we have arrived in the Perth area 4 days before we are scheduled to return the motorhome. Two options to consider then — stay in a campground and use public transportation to get in and out Perth for sightseeing; or turn in the motorhome early and extend our AirBNB stay in Perth. We settled on the first option … no sense burning any of the money we paid out for this house on wheels.

We would have preferred a campground closer to Perth … but they were all booked up. The Discovery Park that we are in has the advantage of being close to the return location for Lets Go Motorhomes … near the airport. And the bus stop for transportation into the city is right across the street. Good enough for hub & spoke sightseeing from a stationary base.

We have a pull-through end site with bushes on either side giving us plenty of privacy. We have the usual amenities … power, water, sullage … dump point a few streets over but easy walking. The laundry is across the road from our site … took care of that earlier.

We are settled in and relaxing this afternoon.Read more
