On the way out of Northampton I spotted an alternative route via Chapman valley which is famous for its wild flowers. We were a bit late in the season but there were still a few left and it was a nice twisty scenic ride anyway. We also had a close encounter with a local lizard [...]

Northampton proved to be a hidden gem, it is one of WA’s historic towns together with York and Albany. The locals have taken this to heart and have preserved buildings, artifacts and machinery from bygone days to show the towns history. The campsite in town was also friendly, clean, and comparitively cheap.The owners wife was [...]

Posted by Kev & Karen in On The Road on December 6, 2011
You’d think we’d be sick of gorges and national parks by now but Kalbarri is different again, we had just caught the tail end of the wild flower season (July – Nov) and for the first time in over four months we saw colours other than red dirt, dry greens and browns. We were treated [...]

Desperately seeking solar soulmate.

This is a long shot but: When we were at Broome doing the shoot for win tv we met a nice guy called Nick (we think) who offered to supply us with some solar panels in return for some sponsorship. He was from Perth and gave us his details saying look me up [...]

Our immediate destination was Carnarvon which was a fairly big place by outback W.A standards, [...]

It was our earliest wake up yet 4am but we were rewarded with an ever changing sky a good stretch of road with beautiful vistas and perfect temperatures (for a while at least). It’s not only the distances that are big out here the vehicles are too. We also encountered an unusual airstrip, the main [...]

Our first job was to find the greyhound bus depot to see if our tyre was there. With some relief we found it was, never have we been so grateful as by now the 3\4 worn front tyre we fitted to the back was as bald as a coot. That sorted we turned our attention [...]
