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.

Lynton Convict Depot

We drove along the tourist route and went through a little town named Lynton and discovered the Convict Depot.

  1. Lynton looks to be a very isolated place, it must be very rugged for the convicts to only last 3 years. That restoration of the roof with Jacob & Zachary looks like a good job.
