We left Mandurah and drove north to Rockingham, the last stop on our camping road trip around WA! Once we got there we visited the shopping centre to have a look around the shops, before driving to the town centre to have a look around. we also had a really delicious cake and coffee at a cafe on the seafront. The next day we got up early to visit Penguin Island, an island 5 minutes off the coast of Rockingham which is home to 1000 Little Penguins - the smallest p...

We drove up the coast to Mandurah and as it was really hot we decided to go to the shopping centre for lunch - unfortunately we got a bit lost on the way, but we finally got there and enjoyed the air conditioning. Luckily our campsite had a swimming pool, so we spent the afternoon relaxing in the shade. The next day we went into the town centre and walked along the foreshore, then went to see the war memorial. We also saw 2 dolphins swimming in the estuary! Next ...

We drove north to Bunbury, the third largest city in WA (which isn't saying much as it only has around 30,000 people so it's still smaller than Guernsey!). We found a nice campsite just outside of town which was also very cheap, then went into town to book onto a dolphin swim tour for the next day. It was pretty hot (27 degrees lovely!) so we spent the rest of the afternoon relaxing by the pool. The next day we were up early to get down to the Dolphin Discovery C...

We left the town of Margaret River and drove about 40 minutes north to the town of Busselton, still in the MR region but on the Geographe Bay coast. We found a nice campsiste by the beach and even got a free upgrade to a powered site which was good. For the first afternoon we wandered around the town and there was quite a lot going on, lots of shops and cafes, and they were also setting up for an Iron Man triathlon event at the weekend - they had a really big ath...

We've been in Margaret River itself for the past 4 days, and it's our favourite place in Australia that we have visited so far. On our first day we just wandered around the town, where there was a market full of stalls from local shops to look around. The rest of the town is also really nice, with lots of shops and cafes, it's quite busy for somewhere so small which is a nice change from some of the other small towns we have been to. On our first full day we went...
