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.

TGWE, The Final Voyage

A quick tow
The Great Western Escape (TGWE) comes to an end.  Today we packed the caravan for the last time.   With no previous issues with the car we were laughing when the car would not start on our last trip home.  After a quick clutch start, aided by Grandpa, and two little boys giving great directions, we were on our way. Grandma and Grandpa took the boys home whilst Steven and Jen travelled in what seemed to be an eternity of peace without the boys.
