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.

Nullabour Plains. SA Side

Today we travelled from Ceduna to the first free camp after the Nullabour Roadhouse.  We filled up at the Mobil roadhouse at $2.089 / litre.  This has put a dent in the costings. 

Whilst travelling this road, we came upon Mike Pauly.  My father, Bob Richardson, heard about Mike's plight on Macca's radio show, and said if we see him we should stop and have a chat.  We did this dad!  We shared a cuppa tea, chocolate slice and a sandwich with him.  Mike is walking to raise awareness for Arthritis.

Digging the loo at our free camp.

We have stopped for our first free camp on our trip.  It is about 20Km west of the Nullabour Roadhouse.  It is an isolated place.  No toilets and plenty of flies, much to Jenni's delight!
