Farewell Perth and our beautiful dog Harry

What do we like about Perth?
Lots of big green puplic parks, orange banksias, flocks of Red tailed black cockatoos, free lit tennis courts provided by Subiaco council, easy to get to long beaches, lots of dog friendly places, bakeries and soughdough, a feeling of space.....all in all we liked it very much.
Farewell to Harry........we are happy that he will get lots of love and attention from Rachael and Andrew.
Stocked up on cheep fuel, food and drink ....batteries checked and look OK so hopefully they they will retain their charge.
Lunch at Yanchep National Park, a beautiful wetland....first use of our Parks WA pass.
On to Jurien Bay...paddocks of grass trees on the way and huge sand dunes.
Use of the local recreation park for overflow camping....perfect!

    Yes I agree with you - Perth is a lovely place!! Good to hear that your travels are going well. Played tennis today - good turn-up and only one shower of rain to stop us for about 10-15 mins - all good!!

Yalata

Another 500km across mostly treeless plains today. We are using our drums of diesel careful to avoid the highest prices across the Nullarbor...up to $2.22 a litre. We know when a Roadhouse is approaching as we can see the communications tower from 5 km away....nice to have some reception for a short time. Each Roadhouse has a golf hole....no real fairway but fancy artificial grass for the greens. Stopped at Yalata an Aboriginal Community....they are part of the tribe moved from the Maralinga Region to allow the bomb testing to go ahead...they are now spread over a wide area. The community itself is closed due to Covid risk. The caravan park has only been open for 5 months with brand new facilities and a very cherpy chatty manager.

We have stopped half way to Albany. It has been a very very windy day...hot wind to begin with. We stopped at Ravensthorpe for lunch and it sounded like the roof was going to blow off! Silo art of local banksias....many of which were growing in the main Street. As we drove further it began to pour with rain and it got very cold.....decided to call it a day at Jerramungup.......everything is something up here.

Cowell

Drove 100km down the coast....crops growing...the first we have seen since the wheat fields of WA. Cowell is a small town with several nice old buildings...100 yrs +....this used to be a busy port....now a sleepy small town  Walked out along the jetty and through the mangroves. No social distancing here! It is very cold....we have got out all of our jumpers, jackets, gloves and hats!
