Last Stop in Australia: Western Australia
Posted: June 21st, 2012 by Courtney
We said our good-byes to our work colleges and friends, packed up all of belongings, and moved out of our place to stay with Henry, Alicia, Tony and Emma for a few last days in Melbourne.
Our last stop in Australia was a 2 ½ week roadtrip in Western Australia with Henry and Alicia. We arrived in Perth, the capital of Western Australia and picked up our campervan. On our first night we down to the suburb of Fremantle to get dinner and beers at the famous Little Creatures Brewery. After dinner we had some problems with the campervan engine and had to call RAC (road-side assistance). Around 11pm they finally got the van started and in order to avoid getting stuck again we decided to spend the night back at the rental agency parking lot.
After walking up and switching campervans we were finally on our way up the coast. Our first stop was the town of Cervantes, located near the famous Pinnacles rock formations. Although it was pretty rainy we managed to walk around the formations.
We continued north to the small town of Karlbarri, near Kalbarri National Park. Kalbarri was a cute little fishing town with a nice beach. Although the weather was still a bit rainy at times we ventured into the National Park to see the coastal cliffs and river gorges.
