Gorged Out
26th May 2002: Yardie Creek – Messa Creek (Cape Range NP)
We break camp and travel 40kms north. We pass a number of coastal camps and find a few have been flooded by high tides around the new moon. We decide on Mesa Camp; certainly more people than Yardie Creek (room for 11 other campers).

22 May 2002: Mt Augustus – Coral Bay
Broke camp to drive west to the coast. A 500km day and virtually dirt roads all the way. The roads aren’t too bad, just a couple of soft spots, a hang over from the recent rains.

10th May 2002: Gladstone – Carnarvon
We make our way to Carnarvon where we decide to spend a few days catching up on maintenance of the camper, shopping, washing, etc. We also book a flight for Julie’s dad from Melbourne to Broome in mid-June so he can join us for around 11 weeks while we explore the Kimberley region.
Shark Bay
6th May 2002: Kalbarri – Monkey Mia
We make our way north in the rain to Shark Bay camping at the Monkey Mia Resort (sardine city); we are packed in on a lawn with plenty of other campers. Having said it is packed like a tourist city, the surrounds are excellent.

16th April 2002: Stirling Ranges National Park – Cape Richie
Broke camp in overcast conditions that saw some light drizzle. Off to the Lily Windmill – a replica of a Dutch windmill. Drove south to Cape Riche to have a look and decided to camp there as not many around (which was surprising after Parry Beach & Cosy Corner). Quick camp set up with the hiking tent & bivouac.

12 April 2002: Albany – Porongurup National Park
40km drive north to the Porongurup National Park, where we walk the 4km Castle Rock trail. Good panoramas from the top of an aptly name group of boulders, Albany in the south, Stirling Ranges in the north.
