## Posts

- [Mandurah 3](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/mandurah-3/): In order to have a bit more of a "wind down" after Frances' urgent and unexpected trip to the UK we came back to Mandurah for another 5+ weeks before continuing on our planned, and altered, 2026 travels.
- [Australind](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/australind/): Having visited Bunbury before for a week, and looking for somewhere with a good price, the Australind Tourist Park turned out to be great value for a 10-day stay and with no shortage of good walking ( and running) trails right out the front.
- [Belvidere](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/belvidere-2/): Having stayed at the Mandurah Coastal Holiday Park for 10 weeks it expired just after Frances' return from the UK, we were then at their allowable limit without a tenancy agreement, so we had to leave for 2 weeks before returning.

- [Cervantes](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/cervantes/): We needed a couple of nights closer to Perth to return to our booking at the Crystal Brook Caravan Park for the next 4 months adn Cervantes was a perfect distance, allowing us to get there around lunchtime.
- [Coronation Beach](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/coronation-beach/): Being only 35km North of Geraldton, the Coronation Beach Campground is a very popular destination and on our arrival was full so we went to the very new Coro Park Caravan Park next door, created out of the nearby landholder's farmland.
- [Gladstone Bay](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/gladstone-bay/): One of those under rated and less publicised locations, Gladstone Bay turned out to be one of those "magic" spots along the WA Coast with camping at the very edge of the beach on great hard stand surfaces with great sunsets, beach walks both ways and birdlife.

- [Karijini Part 2 - Kalamina Gorge](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/karijini-part-2-kalamina-gorge/): Next stop was the Karijini Eco Retreat for 4 nights but along the way a detour into Kalamina Gorge which turned out to be the roughest 6km of road in the Park.
- [Karijini Part 1](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/karijini-part-1/): At 627,422 hectares (1,550,390 acres), Karijini is the second largest national park in Western Australia and offers a choice of accommodation at Dales Campground or the Karijini Eco Retreat (Formerly Savannah Campground).

- [Eighty Mile Beach](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/eighty-mile-beach-2/): Having stayed here on the way North the only difference this time is that it is a lot busier, although not close to full at the unpowered end where we found ourselves on the front row closest to the beach.
- [Port Smith](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/port-smith/): A location we didn't visit on our way North and known as a "hidden gem" of the Kimberley.
- [Waterbank](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/waterbank/): Having arrived back at Cable Beach with a bad vibration in our Landcruiser since Wolfe Creek we took it to Minshull Motors to be checked.

- [Cable Beach ... more walking](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/cable-beach-more-walking/): During our second stay here we have done several walks around Cable Beach including this new one which involves walking about 2km to just past the Camel Farm and crosses the dunes to the beach almost 3km north; total route length, including a short diversion to the local Store/Cafe for a light lunch, was 9.8km.
- [Cable Beach - Sunset and Camels](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/cable-beach-sunset-and-camels/): When we were in Broome in early May our girls sent Frances a Mother's Day present of a voucher towards the Camel rides and, as they were booked out, we made a booking for this week on our return, and it did not disappoint!
- [Mimbi Caves](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/mimbi-caves/): Heading now back to Broome we had 4 days before our booking date on the 23rd, so a logical choice to break the trip was the Mimbi Caves who have a new campground a short distance away.
- [Old Halls Creek](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/old-halls-creek/): Having visited Wolfe Creek we had to return to Halls Creek (only 15km from the Tanami Junction) to refuel, as the next fuel going West is Fitzroy Crossing, another 280km.
- [Wolfe Creek](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/wolfe-creek/): The second largest meteor crater in the world (Arizona being the home of #1) Wolfe Creek is a must see.

- [Wyndham's 5 Rivers Lookout](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/wyndhams-5-rivers/)
- [Wyndham](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/wyndham/): Since leaving Broome we had been doing "something" every day so after the Gibb plus Kununurra and Lake Arglyle have opted for a slower week here in the Wyndham Caravan park - the cost (of $300 for the week - 6 nights st $50 plus one free) was considerably more attractive than Lake Argyle's $72/night !
- [Lake Argyle - Bluff Walk](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/lake-argyle-bluff-walk/): The longest of the official walk trails takes you to the bluff overlooking the dam and back towards the Caravan park, a 5.5km round trip on a reasonable mixed surface but a good opportunity to use our walking poles with some stony sections and steepish slopes.
- [Lake Argyle - The Cruise](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/lake-argyle-the-cruise/): Over 1,000km of water at normal full level, 21 times the capacity of Sydney Harbour.

- [GRR Part 7 - Pentecost River](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/grr-part-7-pentecost-river/): A large rain band was being forecast and with potentially heavy falls so we made sure we completed the GRR as far as crossing the Pentecost River; the end of the unsealed road and only 110kms to Kununurra.
- [GRR Part 6 - Gibb River](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/grr-part-6-gibb-river/): From Mt Elizabeth, in order to have enough fuel, we had to detour to Drysdale River Station, 56km up the Kalumburu Road (our most expensive fuel ever at $2.90/litre).
- [GRR Part 5a - Warla Gorge](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/grr-part-5a-warla-gorge/): One of Mt ELizabeth Station's two Gorges is Warla, a 10km 4wd track from the driveway and about 20km in total from the campground and Homestead.
- [GRR Part 5 - Mount Elizabeth](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/grr-part-5-mount-elizabeth/): Another Station Stay and a well-organised one with a 30km driveway off the Gibb which was in good condition like the rest so far.
- [GRR Part 4 - Galvans Gorge](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/grr-part-4-galvans-gorge/): After 2 days at Silent Grove we moved on to Mt Elizabeth Station; along the way is Galvans Gorge, a 1km walk from the parking area with a glorious waterfall and swimming hole.

- [GRR Part 2 - Windjana Gorge](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/grr-part-2-windjana-gorge/): It's 51 years since Keith visited Windjana with nothing more than a Main Roads station roads map for guidance; back then camping was just an area on the river bank and we put our small dinghy and outboard into the water to explore the Gorge.
- [Gibb River Road - Part 1](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/broome-to-derby/): Finally we head off for the famous GRR, a 650km crossing of the Kimberley from Derby to Kununurra on what was originally known as The Beef Road, constructed and adapted for the movement of cattle from these remote Stations to the port at Derby or Wyndham.
- [Farewell to Broome](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/farewell-to-broome/): ...but not goodbye..
- [Broome Walking](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/broome-walking/): Broome doesn't present many walking opportunities and we discovered that the major named tracks on the coastal strip are largely unmaintained and not easily walked in some locations and not in the style of the beginning as the main picture..

- [Dampier](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/dampier/): Dampier has only a small, 72 hour community caravan park but at least it is opposite the harbour foreshore whereas nearby Karratha's parks are "landlocked" near the industrial area.
- [Bullara to Dampier](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/bullara-to-dampier/): With a total distance of almost 500km to cover we decided to break the journey and stayed flexible with the options until the day.
- [Bullara Station](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/bullara-station/): Moving Northwards we were going to stay at Brubudjoo on the Ningaloo coast but the access road was reported in very poor condition so we continued on to the well known Bullara Station which did not disappoint.
- [Carnarvon](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/carnarvon/): After 4 days at Wooramel it was time to move on and this time only 120km to Carnarvon and the Capricorn Holiday Park.
- [Wooramel Station](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/wooramel-station/): One of several Stations in the North West who have camping available Wooramel has a well laid out area over 1km long with riverfront and open sites, tent and group areas, cabins, basic glamping tents, camp kitchens, toilets, showers and a new laundry at the new Cafe complex (Cafe not open until next weekend unfortunately).

- [The Kalbarri Coast](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/the-kalbarri-coast/): During our 5 days here, apart from the main section of the National Park we visited most of the Kalbarri Coast and its many lookouts.
- [Kalbarri National Park](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/kalbarri-national-park/): The Kalbarri National Park is famous for both it's two large cantilever viewing platforms known as the Skywalk 70m above the valley below (next image), and for"Nature's Window", a natural hole in a rock formation where you can sit and look out across the river far below (main image).
- [Kalbarri](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/kalbarri/): After finally getting Keith's new Bank Debit card we left Horrocks on Wednesday for Kalbarri arriving at lunchtime as planned.
- [Lynton](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/lynton/): Lynton, just 7km before you arrive at Port Gregory, was a Convict Depot and Hiring Station which operated only from 1853 to 1857 when it moved to Champion Bay (now Geraldton).

- [Horrocks Part 2](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/horrocks-part-2/): Having to be here for a minimum of a week we at first thought it wouldn't offer much in walking opportunities but we have been surprised with the beach access and how far you can go in both directions.
- [Horrocks](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/horrocks/): Expecting to bypass Horrocks and travel a little further up the coast, we had a forced change of plan when Keith's Debit card was compromised and had to be cancelled and replaced; the simplest replacement was to be through the bank in Gerldton.
- [Historic Northampton](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/historic-northampton/): Northampton was declared a Historic Town by the National Trust in 1993 and a local heritage trail takes visitors past many of the historic buildings and locations; we did three short (for us) walks around the town including the first via the Railway Precinct as per the previous post.

- [Cape Peron, Rockingham](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/cape-peron-rockingham/): With a day free after our visit to old friends, we drove the short distance to Cape Peron and walked about 4km around the whole headland and beaches with the views to the town, the coast, and across to HMAS Stirling which occupies Garden Island and is WA's primary Naval base and Australia's major Submarine base.
- [Rockingham](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/rockingham/): After our week in Narrogin (a visit a funeral and 5 walks), we travelled across to the coast and the City of Rockngham to catch up with another old friend, Sonny Rolfe and his partner Jan who I haven't seen since 1998; a great catch up visit including Sonny's son Andy who I last saw in Esperance in about 1979!

- [A Parkrun Summer](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/a-parkrun-summer/): Since we left Queensland this was probably the longest period of Frances being able to do a Parkrun almost in each week for 10 weeks; at most Keith also volunteered as the photographer, the two in Brisbane during our Christmas visit being the exception.

- [Balingup Racecourse Reserve](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/balingup-racecourse-reserve/): Moving on from Donnybrook, after our maximum allowed 3 days, we were heading for Wright's Bridge Campground and along the way stopped at the old Balingup Racecourse for a bushwalk.

- [Glen Mervyn Dam](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/glen-mervyn-dam/): On the way from Collie to Donnybrook you pass by Glen Mervyn Dam (which does have a free camping area) which has a walking trail around the outside so a pause for a 5km walk and lunch was in order.
- [Collie - The Town](https://alloveraustralia.com/post/collie-the-town/): On our last day here we took a short walk around town via the Visitor Centre and their railway display carrying on to the Rail Heritage Centre and over the footbridge for coffee at the Coalfield Hotel, the second oldest in town, built in 1903.
