Saturday 23 July 2011 Geraldton to Carnarvon via Hutt River Principality 530km

We got away from Geraldton at about 7:30am, and then thought we had better find out what time The Hutt River Principality opened up for tourists. Sure enough, it didn’t open until 9am and we looked like we would get there about 8:30. So we stopped off at Northam on the way. It is like a lot of other WA country towns, sort of stuck in a time warp. Continue reading

20th July 2011 Albany to New Norcia 512km

Thank you Ethan for the wonderful picture you drew for us, it made us smile.

Of all mornings to sleep in we had to choose this one. We woke at 7am, about the time we wanted to be out on the road, as we had a big day of driving ahead of us. But with good team work we got everything sorted, even had time to shower, eat breakfast and pack everything up and still be on the road by 7:40am. Our morning coffee and tea became travellers!
