The Richardson's Adventures

Our holiday to Western Australia was initiated from the idea of taking our boys on a extended holiday prior to starting school. We have been camping in tent's, and more recently we had a camper trailer for 3 years. While the camper trailer served us well ( over 30 camping trips ), we have upgraded to our off road caravan. The caravan makes life easier for the overnight stay, quick pack up, and it also has air conditioning. Our holidays have been booked for 2 1/2 years and we have been planning in some sort of fashion since. We have upgraded the car to give hassle free motoring, not to mention the great V8 rumble.

Bunbury, Donnybrook, Gnomesville

             Marlston Hill Lookout, Bunbury

Preston Vale Vineyard
As most people know this is Steven's vineyard investment.

252 Hectares (~60 acres)
Preston Vale vineyard is laid out using 2.5m rows and 2.0m spacings between vines giving 2000 vines per hectare




This is the dam that irrigates the vineyard.  When the dam is at full capacity it can supply water for four years without significant rainfall.








Water level of the dam
In the background you can see a jetty that shows the depth, the dam can rise to.

                               Gnomesville
Hilarious, must see.  If you travel with your gnome and need to give it a new home!

Pick the gnome
