This is post numero uno.
I would much prefer to be travelling with Elaine but life has dictated otherwise and I am travelling solo. This is a new van for me having been purchased about six weeks ago with a bit of help from my friend John Bevan from Caravan King in Mandurah. I cannot speak highly enough of Corey, Gareth and crew they have been very professional and considerate.
Anyway back to my wanderings. I did a small trip north a few weeks back just to see how the van van worked and it was great.
This time I headed south last Monday and spent my first night at Martins Tank Campround south of mandurah which is basic with facilities and quite nice. I then headed further south and after being lead the wrong way twice by my gps unit camped at Greenbushes pool. This is a basic parking area type camp, free of course, with toilets and next to a good swimming hole. This is a mining area, lithium now but previously tin and this swimming hole was originally waters supply for a mine. The locals have used the mining excavations to create a series of active wetlands and it is a very nice spot in which to camp.
After 3 nights at Greenbushes I have driven about 150ks sth west to the Conto Campround in the Leeuwin-naturalist national park where I intend to spend the next 3 days.
