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.

Quobba Homestead

Quobba Homestead
Travelling 80kms north west of Carnarvon,  Quobba Station's boundary is parallel with the Indian Ocean, and East of Lake McLeod.  The station is approximately 187,000 acres.  The shearing quarters were used for shearers accommodation until 2005 when Quobba Station changed from merino sheep to demaras (hairy not wooly sheep therefore no longer shearing sheep).

The boys settle in very quickly finding some sand to dig in.

Quobba Station camp setup
The coast line is approximately 100 metres behind our caravan.  You can just see the last of the sunset.

    The boys love their sand pit! Did you see any of the sheep? Were you the only caravanners at Quobba Station? I googled Quobba and had a good look around, it looks very dry.Did you use their limited power or your trusty geny?
