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.

Cobar

Steven repairs his bike

Our first vehicle stop by police in Nyngan, which was a roadside breathalyser.  We then continued on and we arrived safely for an overnight stay in a mining town called Cobar.  After setting up camp, Steven road his bike into town to buy some bread.  Only to return without bread and his bike chain broken.  Despite the support car with spare parts, Steven neglected to have a spare 110 link chain for his bike.
Our neighbouring caravaners pulled up behind us only to tell us that their power source was faulty.  They moved to another site.   Typical Mr Curiosity, Steven pulled out his electrical meters and tested the powerpoint.  It was perfect!  Was it because these people saw we had children??  Should we allow the boys to play next to their caravan in the morning? (Or should we be allowed to remove the offender's gearstick and jam it up his **** )?

    yeh right, like you know how to fix a push bike. And have you came across any Peach tree's down that way, and if so were they tasty.

    Len said if he knew you were staying at Cobar he could have given you his old address to have a look at.

    I know Len lived in Cobar, But we were there only for one night and the town is only big enough for one legend. They still talk about him at the pub.
