WA-Pemberton

This park is in the bottom of a valley and surrounded by trees. The park is rather old and so are most of the amenities but the park is rather charming.
There is also a new camp kitchen and a new amenities block but it was across the park from where we were camped.
There were blackberry bushes on the edge of the park so we had a bowl full with our fruit salad for breakfast. Fantastic.
Very pleasant place to stay and the town has some wonderful old wooden buildings. This area is still a logging area.

WA-Denmark

Even though they say that the park is advertised as fronting ocean beach it is quite a walk to get there. The park is beautifully cared for with grassed sites, many with concrete slabs and the amenities blocks and the camp kitchen are to die for.....absolutely stunning.
There is a giant jumping pillow and great areas for kids to play. A pleasure to stay here.
This is a Big 4 park

WA-Albany

This park is situated on a delightful bay and only 6 klms from the city centre. A short walk from the park, on the end of the point is a coffee shop and a Japanese restaurant. This area has a barbeque area, tables and chairs, play area for the kids and a netted swimming area with lanes. The entire area is stunning.
The park is extremely well cared for, grassed, modern amenities and a wonderful camp kitchen barbeque area.
We enjoyed our stay at this park and also Albany.

WA-Cheynes Bay

We left Esperance heading for a few days stay at Albany, and stopped overnight at Cheyne Bay which is only 68klms east of Albany. The Bay is lovely with a few beach houses, lots of fishing boats and a caravan park. The park has grassed and concrete sites with most of them separated by shrubs and is walking distance to the beach.
The amenities are older but clean and well cared for.
During the night Mike decided he needed to go to the bathroom and as he strpped out of the caravan he was greeted by a python crossing the concrete so he picked up the broom and decided to relocate the snake to another part of the park.
As we were driving about the National Park we found a snake swallowing a lizard. It was fascinating. We pulled up and watched it for a while.

WA-Esperance

It was wonderful to get back to the ocean and we stayed at the park across the road from the bay. It was about 1 klm into town which was a lovely walk along the water. Half way along is the Tanker jetty which is a favourite spot for fishing. Sammy, a rather large seal makes this area his home and is often found swimming around the base of the piers waiting for the fishermen to throw in their scraps. On the weekends there is a mobile coffee van which parks at the end of the jetty. Many mornings we would grab a coffee and spend half the morning watching Sammy and his antics.

The park is large with several amenities blocks, some older than others but all kept very clean and is a Top Tourist member.

WA-Norseman

There is only one park in town so it makes the choice easy. Once again no grass on the sites but a little grass by the shower block and camp kitchen. There were quite a few shade trees in the park.
The amenities were large and clean.
The owners were chatty and fun which is always nice and welcoming.

WA-The Nullarbor

Our second night across The Nullarbor was spent at a rest area. The stop is called Domblegabby Rest area which is 39klm west of Caiguna or 143 klm east of Balladonia. Hema map number 16.
There is a large covered area which you could park under and a toilet. The huge water tank was dry so unless you had come with water in your tanks you’d be in trouble. There was quiet a few people camped here so we all felt safe.

SA-The Nullarbor

We had two free camps while making the crossing. The first was at the Bunda Cliffs - Hema site 670 called “Bunda Cliffs Scenic Lookout”.There is a round about to park in, a table and chairs but no toilets. Several of the lookouts along the cliff have been closed due to the falling of some cliff faces.
The view from the top of the cliffs was fantastic. The night we stayed here it was extremely windy and it kept blowing out our pilot light for the hot water. The wind had calmed down in the morning so we had hot water for a shower in no time at all. Spectacular scenery.

SA-Ceduna

There are several caravan parks in the area but as Mike was going to be away for five days I decided to stay at the Ceduna Foreshore Caravan park which is in the heart of town and very easy for me to walk everywhere.
As usual there was no grass, just the white gravel base that you get used to on this Peninsula but there were a few shade trees.
The amenities block was old but freshly painted in nautical themes which was rather cute.
The park faces the bay and the sunsets were spectacular. Each night I would get my champagne and sit and marvel at the wonderful colours.

We loaded up with water as we were planning on free camping across the Nullarbor. I had also cooked a few meals and froze them as I didn’t want the hastle of thinking about what to cook as the next place to buy fresh fruit and vegetables would be in Norseman, over 1100 klms away.
