traveling south WA....in a motorhome

Day 1-We started our journey in Port Hedland,WA on Wednesday the 16th December.On the first day we drove to a roadhouse at Nanutarra and got some diesel. We stayed there at the roadhouse for 1 night.
DAY 2 We travelled to Carnarvon and had dinner there. We stayed at the side of the road in a rest area and we could see thousands of stars. Mum saw a shooting star.

DAY 3 We left Carnarvon at 9.00am and we set off for Denham. When we were at Denham we swam at this beautiful beach. Kade swam to a small yacht and Charlie, Kade and Dad swam to a small outlying diving platform. Charlie saw a beige coloured fish like the colour of a stone fish but much bigger and hundreds of tiny fish off the platform through her goggles.We stayed at a free camp at Eagles' Bluff. Well worth the trip such beautiful views.

DAY4 We woke up early and we drove to a nature reserve called Monkey Mia. We didn't see a dolphin but Kade saw a turtle and an Emu paid us a visit. It was very unlikely that the dolphins didn't show up...Dad thought it was mum's hair that scared them away! We left to drive to Geraldton at 9.00am. When we got to our destination we went to a party at Dads friends new house and we stayed up until 12.30.

DAY5 We had a rest day today and a sunset picnic and swim at Sunset Beach Geraldton.

DAY6 We drove to Perth today and were amazed by how small it looks compared to Melbourne or Sydney.

DAY 7 The motorhome was getting a routine check up so we went into the Perth CBD for some shopping and a movie. We saw Where the Wild things Are...Kade didn't like it but Charlie and Mum did. After today's shopping we drove to Margaret River.
DAY 8- We are staying in Margaret river for 5 days. Its a very beautiful place with heaps of trees and it is nice and cool. Great to escape that scorching Pilbara heat. There is lots of chocolate, cheese and wine here.

Day 9 We started the day with walking up margaret rivers main street and geting some groceries.When we got back we decided to go on a bit of a tour around the town. First, we went to a shop called candy cow, were they made lollies(yay!)chocolate(double yay!) and something called honeycrunch(never heard of that before have you)?Then we walked a short distance to a cheese and dips shop. Kade got brie,Mum got french blue, and Charlie some sort of sheep cheese. After buying our cheeses, we drove to the margaret river chocolate company, which sold chocolate,chocolate, and more chocolate! After a B-E-A utiful hot chocolate and brownie, we left to go to a near-by brewery for a bit of a look. We looked for about 15 minutes then decided to go to Laurence Winery so mum and dad could do some tasting. It was a fantastic building with fabulous gardens. We are back at the caravan park and are now cooking bacon and eggs for dinner. Hope the old fat man with red pyjamas finds us tomorrow for Christmas Day!!
