So after a near perfect afternoon yesterday, we awoke to a gale force wind! Still blue skies though, so..... you can't have everything. Even so, it was a good time to pack up and get the hell out of Port Samson. Our goal destination today was to be the Pardoo Roadhouse...... but as the day drew... Continue Reading →
Day 3 at Port Samson and after a downpour last night and then another little bit of rain this morning, the clouds finally disappeared and we were treated to this beautiful blue sky. With this brand new sun shiney day, Jen & I took ourselves for a lovely walk to the beach. My guess is... Continue Reading →
After a full day of grey, grey, grey, grey....... ...... we were graced with a bit of blue. It didn't last long though......
Port Samson is a little town - I counted about 100 houses on Google Maps. The caravan park is right near the water and has a little path down to a rocky beach. So as soon as the van was set up and the washing was on, Jen and I popped down there to see what was... Continue Reading →

Well, I'm not too sure what's happened, but a massive front has just hit the WA coast and she is raining like there's no tomorrow. So our one night stopover in sunny Carnarvon has become two and a possible three!!! Our caravan park hails itself as the "Kalgoorlie by the Sea" and here's what it... Continue Reading →
We packed up ridiculously early this morning due to a phone call from a very eager chap from the east coast who was returning his messages from the weekend and didn't realise that we were in the west, or that it was obviously still the middle of the night no matter where he was. We'd... Continue Reading →
