Greetings,
We love the Wheatbelt! There is something so magical about the ancient granite outcrops, salt lakes, and open wheat fields. But mostly, it is the sense of vast space, peace and quiet, and a certain remoteness that draws us in.

In late September and early October, we visited a number of places in the Wheatbelt. We started at peaceful (and apparently very salty) Lake Ninan near Wongan Hills. We then moved to the north-eastern Wheatbelt, where we stayed for a couple of nights at Billiburning Rock (our second visit already). From there, we travelled to the Westonia region and visited the marvellous Sandford Rocks Reserve. Our camping spot there was Baladjie Rock (a post is yet to come). For our final destination, we travelled to Nungarin, visiting Talgomine Reserve and discovering the Chandler Ruins along the way. We spent two beautiful nights at Eaglestone Rock, near the Lake Brown camping area.

It was a jam-packed trip, full of adventures.

Stay tuned, because we are already planning our next adventures! 🙂

Greetings!

We’ve had a few technical issues with the website recently. After doing some repair work and updates, we removed Jetpack — not realising that this would also stop email notifications from going out to our subscribers. Once we understood what had happened, Jetpack was reinstalled and the subscriber list returned. So if you haven’t heard from us for a while, that’s the reason, and this message is just a little update to reconnect.

We’ve continued travelling, mostly during school holidays and public holidays. In July we spent two weeks in the Pilbara, with Cheela Plains Station as our main destination. It was a wonderful stay (even if not the cheapest), and the journey itself was just as memorable. We travelled through the Outback along the Wool Wagon Way, stopping at a few favourite free camps — including Bilung Pool, which we’ve visited before, and Ballinyoo Bridge — enjoying the solitude and quiet beauty of the landscape.

We also upgraded our caravan which you can see from our posts. This new caravan while being a bit bigger allows us to be fully self-sufficient.

There were a few more camping trips in September and October, and we’ll share those stories in the next post.

In the meantime, drop us a quick line so we know you’re receiving this update.

Yours in travel and adventure,
