Camping in Hopetoun: WA’s best kept holiday secret

May 1, 2019.Reading time 14 minutes.

In the weeks leading up to Easter, I had the same conversation with several different people. When asked where we were going for the Easter break, and I replied Hopetoun, each person had the same response: ‘Where’s that?’ And, to be honest, I’m now inclined not to tell anyone because I believe it’s the best […]

Campsite Review: Balingup Transit Park

March 9, 2018.Reading time 11 minutes.

It was not my intention to review the campgrounds at the Balingup Transit Park. We had planned on a long weekend away at Wrights Bridge, a campground I had read numerous positive reviews about. Alas, so had many others because when we arrived on Friday before the Labour Day long weekend, it was full. After a […]

A Trip to Wildflower Country: Wongan Hills

October 1, 2017.Reading time 9 minutes.

Come the Queen’s Birthday long weekend, we’re always ready to get out and see the wildflowers. Most years, the weather has been accommodating. This year it was not. Instead of bright blue skies and lush green paddocks, our trip past the Perth Hills took us through sideways rain, boggy roadsides and dulled views. But it’s […]

Wadandi Track: Cycling Cowaramup to Margaret River

May 11, 2017.Reading time 5 minutes.

There’s nothing like the beautiful surrounds of the south west to take away from the sting of the seat on an unfamiliar bike. I love going for a bike ride, even though I would not consider myself a particularly confident or skilled cyclist. Never mind, enthusiasm and beautiful surrounds distract from being innately uncoordinated and […]
