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, Osprey Bay

Yardie Creek 
We spent the morning swimming at Osprey Bay.  After the boys had a rest we drove down to Yardie Creek hoping to get in another swim at the creek.  Once there, we noticed a walking track, and in good Aussie spirit, our dress code; swimmers and thongs.  We walked a class 4 walking track through the gorge.

What Zachary does best!
We were given one week old oranges, freshly picked from our neighbouring camper, Joe (75 yo).  He picked them from his sons orchard.

Yesterday we were staying in Cape Range National Park.  Today, a historical day, as Cape Range National Park became World Heritage Listed!!

  1. Yardie creek looks like it was a rocky track to walk and had going for Zachary.Yes Zachary certainly looks like he is enjoying the oranges and yes it it something that he does very well.The sunsets look glorious.I see the boys make the most of every minute of the daylight.I see they are refining their skills in tree climbing for when they get back to Grandpa and Grandma's place. They must be sleeping well at night.

  2. They sleep well at night, but it is still a wrestle to settle them, but once there asleep there is not a peep out of them.
