We left the small fishing towns of Peaceful Bay and Windy Harbour and continued on our trip of the coastline to Augusta, 277km south west of Windy Harbour. We really can’t complain about the weather on the trip so far, particularly with the drenching the east coast have had over the last two months, and…

Taking the idea of small fishing village a step further, we travelled 150km from Peaceful Bay and set up camp at Windy Harbour for a couple of nights. The settlement of Windy Harbour is located on 190 hectares of Crown land, surrounded by D’Entrecasteau National Park. The settlement itself consists of around 230 leasehold cottages…

Heading an hour west of Denmark, our next stop took us to the very beautiful (and very peaceful) fishing hamlet of Peaceful Bay. Aside from the caravan park and a small number of homes, there really isn’t much in the way of facilities at Peaceful Bay and it certainly lives up to its name. The…

15 weeks on the road now and we have covered more than 6000km with the van. After leaving Albany, we took a short drive (under an hour) to the very lovely town of Denmark. Set in the Great Southern Region of WA, Denmark is a beautifully forested area but still with that very dramatic coastline….

We are coming to the end of term 1 of ‘road school’ which has obviously had its ups and downs. Some days are full of motivation… others not so much! However, one of the clear benefits of learning whilst travelling is the opportunity for some fun excursions to bring your classroom lesson to life. Over…

We have been in W.A. for just over two weeks now and covered 650km since we arrived in Esperance. After such an amazing start at Cape Le Grand beaches, Esperance had a lot to live up to but it certainly did just that. Lots of fun exploring the surrounding beaches and it’s probably the only…

I remember a phone call with my brother, not long after the WA Premier had announced they were keeping WA borders closed indefinitely. At the time it was always mixed emotions – we were loving our time in SA but equally keen to get to WA for kiting season. I remember Paul saying that he…

I am not sure what I really expected from the Nullarbor other than a really long straight road! I thought it would all look the same and I was pretty sure there would be tears from at least one person in the car at some point but I was proved wrong on both counts. Over…

This week will mark 12 weeks since we moved into our caravan, parked up at Narrabeen Caravan Park. We have covered more than 4000km with the van when you add up the distance between each of our camps (actual km on the car quite a bit higher thanks to lots of day exploring!). We have…

It feels like the coastline that never ends and it turns out that the Eyre Peninsula comprises over 60% of the entire SA coastline! SA lays claim to around 3270km worth of amazing coastline on the mainland (plus around 800km worth of islands), of which over 2000km is known as the Eyre Peninsula. To say…
