Hi All,
We're now at Walpole. Almost seems strange to be on the way again, almost 3 weeks in Fremantle with the caravan parked up Matt/Nicky's drive. Very quickly feel back into work mode although its hard moving your day back as its light about 4.30 am no daylight savings and temps of 30+. Fremantle is a loverly city,we enjoyed a few meals out with Matt/Nicky and the weekends avoiding the heat. The beaches are really packed after work and the weekend
Thanks again to M&N for there hospitality and the use of his tools
We left Freo (3 weeks and I'm a local) and drove to Nannup. We met Frank and Jill earlier in to trip at a camp out of Kununara and again at 80 mile beach, we took up there offer to stay a few nights. Nannup is a loverly backwater town of 500 people and we camped at there farm 5kms out of town.
Nannup was a central spot and we did day trips to Margaret River,Augusta, Bridgetown( great cidery and brewery there) and Cape Leeuwin ( the most southwest point), Bought some wine at MR as you would and enjoyed one with Frank and Jill.
After 3 nights we needed to keep moving the 3 weeks in Freo had put us behind a little to be in Adelaide for the house sit at Xmas. So we have come direct to Walpole seeing sites on the way. The weathers alittle cool 18/8 and will stay that way for a few days. The camp has a great setting on an inlet lots of fishing/swimming/yatching etc with pelicans and rotunda on the jetty. Will be magic in the summer
Today we went to "The Valley of the Giants" Huge Tingle and Karri trees 400 yrs or more that have suffered from fires,insects etc to be hollowed out see photos. The area is so well done with an aerial walkway, about 360 m long so you walk mongst the trees 40m off the ground, as well as walking through the trees on the ground.
Tomorrow we start towards Esperance will take several days, as usual, but wedding anniversary on Saturday so need to find somewhere nice for a meal
hope you enjoy the pics as much as we did taking them
Regards to you all Marian and Clive
Pleased to see you are still enjoying life on the road. We had a really full on trip to China Krygystan and Uzbekistan and since our return have hardly been home. Been up in the Vic High Country (Snowed in), Chiltern, and Sydney for our grandson's 13th birthday and to see baby Matthew who is growing so fast. .
