How beautiful...sitting outside just before sunrise, just the birds singing, me and a cuppa tea. Enjoying our view of the Murchison River.
So glad we booked 5 nights here.

Kalbarri Rock Lobster Tour
23. elokuuta 2023, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
We rolled into Kalbarri yesterday for 5 nights. Camping on the river at Murchison House Station. A farm stay about 10 mins out of Kalbarri and only a few minutes to the turn off the Natures Window and the new skywalk.

Up early this morning to be in Kalbarri by 7.15 am for the lobster pot pull tour. Was a fantastic trip. We were treated to am amazing morning of fun, lobster facts and best of all yummy lobster to eat. They share out the catch at the end of the tour. We came home with 2 to cook up for dinner. Were given detailed instructions what to do...thank goodness.
We were also treated to yummy lobster snacks cooked up on the boat.
The views of the cliffs from the ocean were just an add bonus. As well as the hair raising crossing in and out of the river into the ocean. A most enjoyable morning.Lue lisää

Did a stop over at Northampton on the way to Kalbarri. In case you can't guess from the photos we are now in sheep country...also wheat and canola. So green after weeks of red soil.
A very pretty town with another church by Monsignor John Hawes. I think this is the last one in this area. A bus tour group was in at the same time. Made I had to get photos without large groups of strange people in them.
They have an amazing seniors center. Were just opening for the day and invited us in the view the painters works. Then chased us down the road to let us know they were open to 3pm if we wanted to came back at all. There building is behind the red flowers. The arts and craft centre was closed. They do have a sewing machine museum. But didn't drag Graham through. Even though I love to sew not really into museums full of old stuff.

Stayed at the True Blue Van Park on the way back from Kalbarri. Was very nice.Lue lisää

Geraldton
21. elokuuta 2023, Australia ⋅ 🌬 19 °C
Doing an overnight stop at Geraldton. We were at the free RV site, but got kick out at 5pm. Was told we could used a 5hr only slot if the 24hrs spaces were full originally. Well the rangers changed they minds. Told us and others to move to the area for cars and boat trailers across from Kmart. So we all up and moved.

Geraldton is a lovely town. We are quite impressed. After doing a supply run we had a look around. For some reason we haven't stopped here before.

Visited the
- St Francis Xavier Cathedral. This cathedral was also designed and created by Monsignor John Hawes (see Mullewa for more info)
- HMAS Sydney 2 memorial. I find these memorials very moving.
- Geraldton Museum. An excellent stop. Had a very good 3D movie on the HMAS Sydney 2
- checked out the lighthouse
- plus dipped my toes in the Indian Ocean for the first time this trip. A bit cool. Lovely white sands and blue water.
- picked up some tomatoes $1.50 bag and butternut pumpkins for $1 at the stall out side BCF...was getting a gas bottle filled.

Off to Kabarri tomorrow for 5 nights. Have another of Monsignor John Hawes churches to check out on the way.Lue lisää

21. elokuuta 2023, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 10 °C
We free camped the last 2 nights a Arturchik's rest about 17ks SW of Mullewa. A very pretty spot surrounded by masses of Pom Pom Everlastings. We spent our days exploring the area and wild flower hunting. There are 2 excellent trails to follow. The northern loop and the southern circuit. Both are very will marked with lots of interesting points of interest. These have great signage with story's about the area.
Another must is to visit the Catholic church and learn the history of the priest that built it. A truly beautiful church and an amazing man.

There are also a number of interesting walking trails in town.

Photos - some of the point of interest on our drive around.
* The Church of Our Lady of Mt Carmel
* Greenough River
* Perkins Well
* Christian Brothers Ag School (closed) designed by Monsignor John Hawes who also designed and built the church. Could get any closer as big gates locked to keep you out.
* Butterabby Graves. The site of Aboringinal hangings😢
* Bindoo Glacier Beds
* Mass Rock where Monsignor John Hawes held mass for the local Aboriginal people that were to frightened to come into town.
* Pom Pom Everlastings...view from our van.
* Ripped my pants when exploring through the bush for wild flowers. Tripped some dead fall. Got to look where I am going.Lue lisää

Wreath Flowers
20. elokuuta 2023, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C
'Wreath flowers (the scientific name is Lechenaultia Macrantha) are very rare and unique flowers which can be found only in the Mid-West region of Western Australia, flowering between August and October, depending on seasonal rainfall. These circular shape low lying plants grow on sandy soils, often on the side of the road. One of the biggest displays of wreath flowers can be found near Pindar, east of Mullewa (mainly along Pindar-Beringarra Road). '

We were very excited to find the wreath flowers at Pindar. They are just coming into flower. Hope to see some in full flower somewhere.Lue lisää

'Designed and built by priest architect Monsignor John Hawes during his 22 year stay in Mullewa. The church is considered to be one of his finest designs and is classified by the National Trust.
Attached to the church is the Priest House, which was Monsignor Hawes’ home for many years. It houses many of his personal effects.'

This appsolutly stunning church is well worth a visit. If one of the guides are on-site stop and have a chat. It's is fascinating to learn about the talented Monsignor John Hawes and his beautiful churches.Lue lisää

We are official in wildflower country 💐.
Camping tonight at Wurarga Dam. Another interesting spot. We have found some great spots lately.
We turned west after going through Mount Magnet. A nice butcher here, plus an IGA that didn't charge $12 for milk.
Heading west down the Geraldton - Mt Magnet Rd. We found this little beauty about 75k east from Mellewa...our detenation tomorrow.

There is old rail track passing through this area. Our best guess is the dam was built to supply water to the trains. There is also the remains of on old rail bridge.

Plus some new flowers. We were excited to start see more and more as we drive today. Looking forward to getting into Mellewa tomorrow and hopefully picking up the wildflower book for this area.Lue lisää

18. elokuuta 2023, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
After leaving out excellent free camp at Lake Nallan this morning we head about 20k south to Cue.

What a gorgeous little town. Full of wonderful sandstone buildings. It had, we think the best RV water fill up we have ever seen. 3 separate taps. Lovely picnic tables. Beautiful landscaping. Plus plenty of room to park and go for a walk around.
Unfortunately this town that has poured so much into make their town so inviting had hardly a shop open. Except a op shop and a tiny general store. They were all boarded up. They did have a very impressive visitor center and 1 pub that opened at 5pm.

Heading south about 17ks we were treated to the sheep statues on the salt flats. Plus I found another new flower. I think it might be a Dampier Pea.Lue lisää

Lake Nallan is about 20ks north of Cue. Was another great find on Wikicamps. We pulled in for a look and morning tea...ended setting up camp and staying the night.
Found 2 chairs just up from our camp. A nice sunny spot out of the wind. It's amazing that we were chasing shade when we set up camp up to just a couple of days ago. Heading south and some cooler days we are hunting a sunny spot.

These darling tiny tiny pink/purple flowered succulents are starting to spring up here. Not in my current book. We are heading out of the area it covers. Time for a new book 😉
We were also visited by some adorable King Quails ... The first time we have seen them in the wild. Not quick enough to get any photos 😪Lue lisää

'Once called the Devil’s Playground, these stunning rock formations and large boulders were chosen as the site of a picnic that celebrated the end of World War One in 1919. Since then it has been known as Peace Gorge.'

This amazing place is just a few minutes out of Meekatharra WA. Was a wonderful place to free camp. Was a little cool and windy, but we still enjoyed exploring. The flowering shrubs growing against the rocks were spectacular. So pleased we stopped here to explore.

We did drop into the local IGA ... milk was $12+ for 2lts 😱The highest price we have ever seen. But there other stock wasn't to badly priced. I feel for the locals that have to pay these prices everyday.Lue lisää

A very early start today. The car had to be in at the machanic in Newman by 6am. Had to have the front brakes and rotars? replaced. They were the only place that had all the parts. Let us part the van out the front while they did the work. Back on the road about midday.

Stopped at North Gascoyne River for the night at about 4pm. A late pull in for us.
What a pretty spot to free camp. So many flowers most I have seen before but a couple of new ones. Unfortunately not in my book. Road yesterday was lined with flowering shrubs ... stunning against the red soil.

Flies have been annoying the last few days. But that's life in the bush.

Still heading south.Lue lisää

Got the fire roaring again tonight. Will pop a lamb casserole on the hot coals.

We have been in Tom Price for 4 days. Car needed a service.
We free camped out at Not Daz and Shaz's Rest Area (wikicamps) just out of Tom Price on Karijini Dve for 2 nights while waiting on parts to arrive.
Then moved into the Tom Price Van Park Friday. While the car was at the mechanic.
Was great to catch up on the washing. Been ages since we were somewhere to wash all the big stuff. Last time we stayed in a van park was Wyndham 21 days ago.
Got out the airfrier and did some baking, plus a lamb roast for dinner and pizza for lunch.
Very stunning views from the van park and some friendly galahs were always hanging around.

Heading toward Newman tomorrow. Then off chasing wildflowers again.Lue lisää

Gravel Pit is a most unfortunate name for these offen excellent free campsites. They are usually old road work sites where machines and gravel was kept while roads were upgraded.
There are no amenities, so you need to be self contained. But are usually very large fairly flat areas. Offen with a pleasing outlook.

We are at this one tonight about 12k after the turnoff to Tom Price on Nanutarra Rd.Lue lisää

Another place we have never been before. It didn't disappoint. This beautiful NP is between Karratha and Tom Price.
Hats off the WA national parks there really do an excellent job.

Lots more beautiful wild flowers to add to my list of finds. The road sides driving in are a carpet of colour at the moment.

The Fortescue River runs through the park. Deep Reach is a stunning stretch of the river where you can swim. We were speechless the first time we went down for a swim. So much water in what is basically dry arid country driving in. We even bought back an old family camping tradition and went for a pre breakfast swim.

We were hoping to also visit Python Pool for a couple of days but it's in a different part of the park quite a distance away. The campground near it was currently closed and the road in very poor condition. So have given it a miss.

We had originally planned to continue south down the coast. But no vacancies for weeks at the places we really wanted to go. Apparently really cold down south and people trying to escape to warmer areas. We are still in shorts and tees.
So will head inland following the inland flower trails. Tom Price will be our next major stop.Lue lisää

Stunning views of the Fortescue River winding below the red cliffs. What a magical place.
