Yanchep National Park has a host of places where you can enjoy a meal in the midst of wildlife wonderland. As I mentioned before, there are barbecues and picnic tables. However, if you show up with camera in hand and no hamper then you may want to visit the Chocolate Drop/Yanchep Tea Rooms. When I […]
One of the most striking experiences at Yanchep National Park is seeing Koalas in a somewhat natural environment. There is no entry fees to the Koala park which has a stunning display of trees that are the home to over 5 Koalas. Of course there could be more, but on this particular day I was able […]
Yanchep National Park can be found about 45 minutes north of Perth. It is one of WA’s treasure troves which host an abundance of things to see and do – if you are the outdoor type person. Today, I decided to take the girls up to see this park. I have visited here before, and […]
I started “Life Goals” when I was in my late teens. By the time I was 30, I had ticked almost everyone of them off. After that, I started creating mental notes of things I wanted to do….but never really wrote them down. Seeing that I have a site that focuses on A Road Travelled […]
The distance between these two Roadhouses is about 45 km. However, Billabong has a very interesting history. The Overlander Roadhouse was the first original roadhouse in this area, up until 1962. Given that the closest petrol station is just outside of Geraldton, running low on petrol will require you to fill up at the Overlander. […]

Eagle Bluff can be found outside of Denham. It is one of my BIG 9’s to visit. I have been to Shark Bay a number of times. On all occasions I found Eagle Bluff to be windy. However, on our last visit, it was a little windier than all my past visits. Eagle Bluff offers […]
Denham Seaside Tourist Village can be found on the westerly side of Denham. It is one of the few camping resorts that has trees, which offer much needed protection from the sun and the wind. Due to some complications with our accommodation, the Denham staff were able to fit us in at the last minute. Of […]
Actually, there are more than 9 places to see in Shark Bay. I chose 9 because we only had 3 days in this area and these were things we could do without exhausting ourselves from driving. Monkey Mia: Well known for their dolphins, Monkey Mia is on the opposite side of Denham and is fairly isolated. It […]
For the first time, I was able to drive through the Peron National Park, which is found in Sharks Bay. Because the road to the homestead is good enough for a 2 wheel drive, I had always thought that one could drive through the park with a 2 wheel drive car. After my recent 4 […]
