Last stop before we arrive in Broome and hand the camper back. We travelled about 470 km from Karratha today, and in advance, decided to only stay one day here, instead arriving in Broome one day earlier than planned, to get ready for the next phase of our holiday through…

First day of Winter in Oz. No worries in the Pilbara at a comfortable 31 degrees. Cool and very omfortable here in the evening in Karratha too. After an early exit from Exmouth, we did have a very uneventful drive to Karratha. The roads were all very good and well…
Today was a lay day for both travellers so we embraced the mundane of supermarket shopping, a massage for this old bloke, a visit to the best bakery for lunch and not much else. Probably baked beans and toast for tea after an extravagant but yummy meal out last night, just…
So today was a fun day for both of us, for different reasons. My TP enjoyed the lay day after yesterday’s 16 km hike. She managed to get in much stitching, caught up on her online videos and had a nice rest without having to follow her TP around. For…

Today started at a leisurely pace with some clothes washing done before we set off to the Park once more. Plans were afoot to both walk above and travel by boat on the Yardie Creek, but only a walk eventuates as boating was booked out. Aiming for next days instead….
Today was an easy day travelling as we covered the 180 km from Coral Bay to the Yardie Homestead camping ground via Exmouth and now being just short of the entrance to the Cape Range National Park. As we have already discovered this afternoon, this National Park is stunning, and we…
It rained overnight! And quite an amount to the extent that the council had to bring in graders to patch up puddles and fill the ruts left by exiting vehicles. All good now but damage easily done given the deluge, soft sand and big vehicles. Otherwise a very quiet and…
Just a lazy day to reflect, relax and rest. Weather fine, light breeze. Plenty of sap droppings on our vehicle from overnight condensation. Let’s hope for rain and strangely someone said there is some forecasted for tonight. Will believe that when we see it as we have not seen rain…
