We met up with Melli on our way to Esperance. She's a friend of Katl and gave us a night a head over our roof. We had a nice and quiet evening with a movie and everybody was after that pretty tired and about to fall asleep, when suddenly the door was ripped open and two blokes stood in the door with a huge amount of jacky cola. They kept us all ...

We spent all day at crokers park just waiting for the phone call from the garage to say that cohzy maz was ready. At 3.30pm and suspense killing us , bev rings the garage - we can have maz back! An hour later and $2185 poorer we are mobile again.... Maz has more new parts than halfords- new head, fuel pump, thermostat, timing belt, spark plugs, ...

Last night we watched carry on camping on the computer! So that's exactly what we are gonna do now! In true british bulldog spirit we're not going to let the buggers grind us down and we sit around and have a laugh about what's happened so far! We're ok, got plenty to eat, the sun and the pool and some really nice fellow campers are here, who ha...

33 50.000s 121 53.325e leaving Albany behind us we set off at 9am, an early start for us! Mcdonalds beckons for brekkie on the way out of town but after this pitstop we will only stop for fuel and lunch. Maz's top speed is only about 60 miles an hour so we don't expect to reach espeerance before 5pm. Esperance means hope in French so lets hope w...

Kate and Con arrived over the 30th MArch from Dublin for their first trip to Oz. For the first week we were still working so once it hit Easter weekend we headed off on our road trip. Although thanks to them we didn't have to rough it. We started out early on our 8 hour drive from Perth to Esperance. Vin and Con did the driving in the nice air-c...

Bevor wir am naechsten morgen den Rest in Angriff nahmen, staerkten wir uns im Roadhouse mit einem Trucker-Fruehstueck (Spiegelei, Speck und Toast). Es waren noch einmal 580 km zu fahren und es regnete den ganzen Tag. So und nun sind wir in Esperance und machen hier und im Cape Le Grand mal wieder richtig Urlaub und lassen das Auto stehen. Von j...

Nullarbor Part 3 After cleaning off all that red dust we have an easy day - no mad rush to get to Esperance. After the distance we have covered over the last two days 573 kms seems like a relaxing Sunday drive.This drive included a trip along Australia's longest straight road - very disheartening when your chugging along at 110kms an hour lookin...

Its an early start as we're heading East today so after a quick breakfast and some tearful goodbyes to Mark and Phil we hit the road out of Frankland with Lisa at the wheel. We try to stop for gas at Cranbrook but the whole town has a power cut so we're out of luck. Eventually we find a gas station in Tellengup, get gassed up and buy some food f...

I bought a ticket on Mackenzie's Island Cruises for a half day Bay of Isles Wildlife Cruise - a bit later this morning and we moved over to the YHA backpackers which seems a much better place. I had a delicious breakfast of Eggs Benedict at the Taylor Street Café (which is a sort of a period place - the period being about the 50's). Mackenzie's ...

Well, here we are, after 2 months in Kalgoorlie, i've left and found my way back to the coast. We did the 450km drive in about 4hours on a cool and cloudy day. Bit of a break after the 42 degrees of two days ago. Esperance is beautiful, gorgeuos beaches and fantastic rural vues. We spent two nights camping on a site just off the beach. Alas most...
