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.

Broome to Derby

Blow out
We had planned to travel from Broome to Derby, refuel and then head out to Windjana Gorge National Park, with the caravan.  The Gibb River Road was a dream road in comparison to the road up to Cape Leveque.  90mins into the drive, we had a blow out.  We actually booked in for this Friday in Derby for new tyres.  Fortunately Derby had ordered the tyres and are ready for fitting tomorrow.

    Blow out, your first EH !!! that was good planning, having ordered a new set of tyres just before the "blow out"! Did it go off with a bang? How fortunate was it you weren't out in the never never!! The Gibb River Road, what an experience to drive that, it's only 700 kl long!
