Trip up the Dampier Peninsula
Trip up the Dampier Peninsula I had seen enough small places (Coconut Wells and Quondong Point) on the Dampier to be hungry for a longer and more detailed stay. I set off early one morning for Cape Leveque and One Arm Point which are situated at the top of the Dampier Peninsula. Once you turn … Continue reading
Playing around Broome!
The days are flying by and there is just too much to do. When I got to Broome I went to the local Bicycle shop and hired a bike for a week. That way I have transport for the little trips and I keep the exercise up. Every morning I am on the bike at … Continue reading

Byron Bay
We had finally reached the coast of northern New South Wales and with it a more temperate climate than that in Victoria. We stayed at the Beaches caravan park. Great, generous sites for caravans with big trees to offer shade during the day. All day the brush turkeys we scratching around and running for bits … Continue reading
