Head off

   We left Bindoon on the Monday .If going to stay in Bindoon the bowls club is a walk across the oval very friendly folks as well and just down the road is one of the best bakeries we have found in W.A.We were hoping to stay at a place called Northam going to stay for a few days they had a good looking Museum and hoped to have a look around but could not fit into van park, went to council got told no place to stay so stuff Northam if that the way  they feel . By the time we looked for a spot time was getting on so we found a top spot 204 { camps 6 W.A. } as this only says day time only I was not real happy with what happen back up the road  and stayed the night no problem and a couple of beers over it :)
  After a good sleep { top picture}at this spot we head of towards Cranbrook top drive thou lots of wheat still been in the wheat belt a long time now the western Australia wheat belt is huge area we came to Wagin next two pictures he not as big as the one in Goulburn N.S.W.but still a good size anyway.

Bindoon

   We arrived in Bindoon and soon settled in 15 a night for power got a power point as we  leave the fur covered kids in Air con as we go for the day .  Allowed to stay three days so we had three days to find a spot in Perth for the school holidays, Christmas break new year etc what I like to call the silly season as I do not like being on the road around this time of year people in a rush to get from point A to point B with little time to do it so my answer we park up some place and sit it out worked for us the last 6 years . We spent a day around Perth lots of Phone calls to caravan parks etc crowds traffic my oh! my. I love my life style and not have to live in a city what it come down to we will not be staying near Perth this year we know of a couple places that are ok to stay after school holidays so see what happens
   Back in Bindoon .we had a look around and liked the little town people real friendly and on the Sunday they had  a market it was very close to us top picture got talking to the owners of the three cars 54 F100 a Morgan and a MG rather a good day and found out about Bindoon museum what a little gem of a museum some great stuff loved the 1933 fire truck a Dennis it has the same age trailer water  pump  on the back, great bit of gear and it is taken out every year for santa and the kids have a ride ring the bell etc.While in the show ground we got told of  a spot at a place called Cranbrook that we may like and the price sounds good as well.  
  

Leave Hyden

As we left Hyden we looked at the fuel price as they give you a three cent discount for staying in the van park , when they 1st give it to you, you think Wow!   thanks then you check the price for us diesel and wow! no thank you far to expensive but anyway .We drove along to Kondinin and found the price far  much better even with out the three cents it was cheaper  for Diesel as well as unleaded so there you go .Thinking people are giving you some thing for nothing does not all ways work out right. Kondinin has a servo with this sign out the front top picture with the back of our Suzuki in the picture as well . We had a top trip and was still surprised and the hills of western Australia had a picture of  W.A being flat well just goes to show how wrong we can be about a place .On our way too Bindoon that we had picked to stay to see were to pull up in or around Perth when we got to Cunderdin we found the pub this one was missing some stuff but still a Ettamogah we must of gone the hard way too Bindoon over the mountain's Tumbi the motor home was getting warm but all good settled back again and cooled down  once we were over and sitting on 90k's again other then that all was good nice drive and our show ground in Bindoon turned out not to be a showground we were thinking show ground should be like but it turned out all right in the long run

Hyden

We meet our friends and spent some time Looking around wave rock to the  wild life Park over the road from the caravan park we enjoyed the white roo's were worth the time spent there alone they come from some place around Adelaide I was told and there ancestor's were the inspiration's for the song 6 white boomers they have blue eyes and are not albinos and they are breeding .The toy museum was worth a look.   The art work was is in the main street of Hyden there is a hole heap of them rather like this type of stuff good art work . When we left the van park we found a top spot up in the industrial area and stayed a night with our friends and found a crack in our trailer hitch so we got the Genny going and welded it up while we was there, the next day we headed our separate ways we had a top time with Tony and Rohnda thanks guys Oh! and the  bakery in hyden yum went there a couple of time ...naughty us :)

Lake King - Wave rock

We left Esperance witch we so liked asked about the Christmas break but booked out bugger oh! well so hit the road , we found a nice free camp {150 camps 6 W.A.}had coffee and was going to stay the night but the weather started to close in again so we pushed on as parked on this yellow looking soil seemed like clay so still not wishing to get stuck did not stay.We got in to Lake King found the Van park Plugged in and went to the tavern to pay our rent and down come the rain  Lake king has a van park, tavern and a shop and few houses that's it  and a dry lake we stayed a couple of days waiting for fine weather .     .
