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.

Fremantle

Woodman Point (our camp)

Woodman Point Beach
We had a quiet morning, then spent the afternoon exploring the local Woodman Beach.  We then went to the park where the boys were exhausted and slept in the car on the way home.

We forgot to mention last night after the Fremantle Prison tour, the boys fell asleep in the car and then we transferred them into bed without dinner and in their day clothes. That's a first!!!

Woodman point
If you look closely, the above building is surrounded by fencing made with heshian bags filled with cement.  There are several of these buildings down the coast line.  They were designed and constructed by the US military in World War II.

US military ammunition bunker
  The design was purposefully built to direct an explosion vertically.  If one were to be hit by enemy fire, it would not affect the other ammunition bunkers.  Today the camp kitchen is built inside this one photographed.  Doesn't say much for the campers and there cooking.
