Week 510 - Wandi, Western Australia

We apologise for the lack of  any blogs for the last couple of weeks.

Our last few days on the road, as such, were at Jarrahdale.  A convenient concrete slab in the middle of the forest with dump point and free running water.  This was just 25 km from Armadale on the outskirts of Perth.  Although so close to our final destination, we enjoyed three days exploring and were made welcome by the small population of locals.

we revisited the Elizabethan Hotel.  
Alas, Horror only had one beer.

Pressing on to our Christmas destination at Wandi, Steve, Louise and BJ have a comfortable 5 acres of land on the edge of the city, yet still in the country side with enough room to park  20 or so motorhomes easily.

On the Sunday we had a Highway Wanderers, WA chapter get together of 16 people.  Quite remarkable when you consider that Western Australia is on the other side of the world.

Leigh (dog - Jigger), Jo, (dog - Rusti), 
Willem, Connie, Phil, Louise and Steve

It was a good catch up and I believe a good time was had by all.

Wandi is a convenient location, just across the road is acres of parkland for Rusti the dog to chase balls and socialise with her mates and we have had many an early morning stroll in the parklands.

The proximity of our campsite has several shopping centres just a stone's throw away and with Rockingham just a few km's away.  So Jo was in her element with shopping and getting ready for Christmas.

Hold tight, fares please!!

Our plans are to depart Wandi on 28 December, head south to Esperance and then cross the Nullabor.  Our adventures continue.  

We enjoy sending you our blogs and look forward to your comments.  It's the best way that we can keep in touch with you all.

Xmas festivities

We wish all our readers a Merry Christmas and a very happy new year.  We hope that all your wishes come true.
