We're thinking of spending a couple of days at the eco-lodge camp ground in Karijini National Park in WA, but we're not sure whether the road in is suitable for our standard non-offroad van. Has anyone been there?

I haven't thought out what I'll do, I wish I knew where there was a Vietnamese "Bar" ( just for the memories) I'll give the big ceremonies a miss though, usually you can't get a seat and the Politicians take over with inane speaches. Best wishes to all who were there! Take care and if you dri...

Going to Gerroa for a week, listen to the pounding surf, try some fishing and eating.... If you are around drop in, staying beachside at the Seven Mile beach CP. You'll know our van as it's the only one with a big black dog eyeing you off.

If you are travelling and planning to see wave rock, or even if your not I would reccomend that you travel along the tin horse highway. in our opinion more impressive than the rock and well worth the detour. Lake grace to Kondinin road.

If your out this way touring through the wheatbelt.... you can put your feet up for a couple of days on the farm for free! The wild flowers and wildlife are nice here in spring. So long as the open spaces don't frighten you its magic.
