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.

Pardoo Station (day II)

Croc Watch
We explored the foreshore of Pardoo Station and headed down to Pardoo Creek.  There was one man fishing and told us that a croc was spotted at the mouth of the creek a few miles up, less than a week ago. We grab the boys and kept them well away from the creek.

Red Point
Whilst we were in the car, we pulled up over looking Red Point beach.  The boys were asleep and Steven and I ate our lunch, in the car.  In the background there are four people fishing off the rocks. A lady started walking toward us holding up two massive salmon.  I applauded, thinking she wanted to show us their successful catch (and rub it in that we haven't caught a thing).  But she came over to us and asked if we wanted the fish.  YES! YES!  We stayed an extra night and had the most fresh fish caught less than an hour ago.  We received four massive fillets and the boys chowed down.  Steven and I protected our plates from them (we weren't going to share our fish fillet with them). 

Gate étiquette 
Grandpa, found the missing sign from the back paddock gate.  It is hard to believe that some city slickers fail to shut a gate.
