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.

Manaraka Homestead/Daly Waters Pub/Banka Banka Station

Peacock
The boys saw their first male peacock at Manaraka Homestead.  They also enjoyed the thermal springs that the homestead had to offer.

Daly Waters Pub (est. 1930)
The very first Northern Territory, Daly Waters Pub.




Jacob is standing at Australia's most remote traffic lights



Lunch at the historic Daly Waters Pub

Banka Bank Station
We loved our farm stay at Banka Banka Station.  We compared this stay to Home Valley Station which we found out the next day, that Banka Banka Station is also owed by the Aboriginal Land Corporation. They're definitely onto something here.  

Our site at Banka Banka
We look remote because we are.  We are actually in there overflow area,  not bad!  Felt like we have the place to ourselves.
