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.

Cape Range National Park

Sunrise
We arrived in Exmouth and stayed one night.  We woke at 05:00 and departed Exmouth at 06:00 to arrive at Cape Range National Park.  We were told to arrive at 08:00 but inside information was 06:00 or earlier if we stood a chance to get a vacancy for the National Park.  When we arrived at 06:40 there were
already three campers inline for the National Park.

No Vacancy sign at the Rangers Station

Entrance to Cape Range National Park




Osprey Bay
We forgot to take our camera, but we explored Osprey Bay and swam with a turtle in the afternoon.  We were the only people on the beach.

Jen caught her 1st fish
Jenni caught her first fish, a long tom. Too small to eat, and they are, a very bony fish.  All the fish we have caught so far have been from Jacob's fishing rod. 



Zacahary ready for a bath then dinner
The first night we made it to the National Park's overflow area, called Bungarra, which is approximately 500m from the beach.  Once you are in Bungarra's overflow area, it is easier to move to the beach side sites, when a vacancy turns up. (Provided a caravan can fit in).

  1. Good on you Jenni. Pleased to see someone catching fish. Yes we can see Zachary is ready for some dinner. Poor little fellow. His clothes are falling off him.Ha.It is amazing that you have to get there so early to get a site.
