Well, I must say this has been the surprise of our trip so far. If I said there was a surprise in any of my previous posts then they are superseded. We knew that Western Australia was going to be…
Kalgoorlie and the Nullarbor
We left beautiful Esperance, and made our way to Kalgoorlie, leaving our Tassie friends Maree, Nev, Hann and Jess to get back to Geelong to catch the ferry back to the Apple Isle. Kalgoorlie is inland and is technically the…
Esperance

Western Australia’s coast – Exmouth to Quobba
Actually…before Exmouth we stayed at Bullara Station. Bullara is an amazing place – they take looking after caravaners seriously, with a twisted sense of humour. Some of their “ablutions” (ie showers and toilets) are designed with lots of corrugated iron,…
