There’s been a dire shortage of camping missions recently, what with the covid and rat racing commitments. And we missed the salmon run last year. So this year it was doubly crucial […]
Salmon Camp 2021
The New Guy
It’s been a while between blog posts, and since the last post we’ve pumped out a new guy. Here he is on his first camp: Don’t worry, all the photos displayed here […]
Yeagarup Beach Camp
Yeagarup is famous for being the place where I lost my camera a few years ago. This time I was more careful, making sure I came home with evidence of the copious […]
Salmon Fishing Camps
Our trip across the Nullarbor to South Australia and Melbourne is over and we’re back home. Now what? Rat race? No way. How about fixing the house up interspersed with camping trips and […]
Melbourne and Great Ocean Road
We would have loved to stay in Nundroo for another week there’s just so much to see and do, but with the hilux wheel bearing dodgily repaired we had to race across […]
Nullarbor, Twilight Cove and Eyre Bird Observatory
From Perth we embarked on our adventure, first stopping in Merredin for a night, then a few days in Kalgoorlie visiting family. Brimming with fuel, water and food ready for our cross […]

Salmon Fishing Camp

80 mile beach
With no luck catching threadfin salmon around Broome and Cape Leveque, it was time to get serious and actually catch one. I did that at Barn Hill, a spot at the northern […]
Cape Leveque
Apparently the Cape Leveque Road was initially constructed as an aqueduct to collect and channel water south to drier areas. The remnants of this design can be seen today, with the road […]
Cape Leveque West Coast
The west coast of Cape Leveque has some good free camping spots, nice beaches and some fishing. No facilities, all bush camping. I was hoping to land many threadfin salmon, especially since […]
Broome
I’ve been thinking about returning to Broome since having a short holiday there in 2003. I remember cable beach being awesome and the weather perfect. I didn’t have a 4WD then and […]
Telegraph Pool and Broome Repairs
Telegraph pool is on the Fitzroy River and was recommended as a top barra spot. On the way there we stopped at the Willare Roadhouse for some locally grown steak. It’s on […]
Windjana Gorge and Tunnel Creek
The hilux has a problem that appeared on the way out of Bell Gorge. There’s an intermittent grinding noise and I have to turn the steering wheel off centre to drive straight. […]
