Thursday, 26 August
We departed a very chilly Cervantes by 8.00 am for the drive to Perth. The estimated three hours stretched to four hours, with a few stops on the way to wander among the snake infested scrub looking at wildflowers – and taking more photos! We even saw a few kangaroos enjoying a wheat crop and a couple of emus
The wind had settled by the time we reached the Discovery Caravan Park at Perth and the temperature had risen to a very pleasant 18 degrees – definitely long pants and windcheater weather. The park is very nice (only tourists here), with a very large grass site and good amenities. A couple of men quickly appeared to help me direct Les onto site, and just as quickly decided to leave me to it!
This afternoon we decided to check out Kings Park but discovered something we haven’t seen since Melbourne – TRAFFIC!!! Kings Park was very nice, though, with all their wildflower beds in full flower and with the annual Wildflower Festival commencing next week, the whole park looks spick and span. We had a nice walk among the flowers, looked out at the look out and inspected the war memorial. We drove around the park, stopping at the Vietnam Veterans’ Memorial for a while.
Then it was back to the traffic and a slow return to the caravan park – thank goodness for TomTom!
