What? Its Over?
With an icy start I crawl out of a rather warm tent, this heater is seriously worth every penny. With coffee boiling and eggs and bacon (read a full pack of bacon) I start the car which is running oddly rough this morning. It’s slightly missing, I think the glow...

Here We Go Again
A short blog, As we are just getting the wagon back out of storage for a small trip. There are some niggling issues starting to show their ugly heads, mainly the viscous hub is failing, but its original, so its done very well. I noticed it getting a bit warm on the...
End Scene
With our flight in 2 days it is time to strip the wagon down and clean everything. I mean even the tent comes off. We vacuum and wash the tent, the storage boxes, and even add the country flags we have missed. [gallery columns="2" size="full"...

Swako, Sushi, And Seals
Seafood is all we want, it’s been months since we have had anything fish related. So we proceed south, on route we pass a seal colony so we stop in, I had no idea how loud they are, let alone stinky. You basically walk through them, very cool, babies all over. We even...

Wittenoom
The Asbestos capital, no longer mining and mostly abandoned this town only houses a few last remaining people. power has been cut and the mail route shut down years ago. I start the day following the well worn track out of the valley and onto Wittenoom for a peak...
Abandoned Tracks
The next day was one hell of an adventure, starting with a bath in Hamersley Gorge, which I had to myself. A lovely place to start the day. The water was cool and the rocks slippery so at one point I didn't have a choice on getting wet. You cant beat these places The...
Supply Run
I had a great night out under the stars, went swimming and just enjoyed the area. Since I was nearing my time limit for ice and cold beer and food in general as I was only packing for 4 days at a time I ran into Tom Price to restock, hammering down the road at 130 I...
