So today we have decided we would go 'camping' and head out to the Cape Arid National Park and Cape Le Grand National Park.
In the pic attached you can see how much stuff we had to bring!!! Phew!!! Forgot how much you need to being camping! Hahaha (the baby comes too)
Wean ages to get everything packed and ready and we were off around 11am. Mia just woke from her sleep!
So we headed out and it is a beautiful day to drive. It's over 100kms to Cape Arid and then we hit the dirt tracks. Pretty cool and quite interesting. The bush is very unique. We decided to check out the camp grounds that showed on our map. Not bad but the March flies were terrible. We were constantly swatting our arms and legs although Mia never seemed to have any on her :-( mmmmm not fair!
We thought weight give these camp sites a miss and head back to the Cape Le Grand NP and check our the beagles and campsites.
FINALLY got there (it was a looooonnnnngggg drive back).
So it was $12 per car per day to enter the NP. Then we sound out that it's $10 per person per night to camp?!?!?! What the???? Seriously no wonder tourists don't want to visit places like these cause it costs so Bloody much :-( I was quite disappointed with the whole thing. We tried the first campsite and it was pretty much full, went to the second one and it was full so back we went. Decided we could do one night there.
Not much of a camp ground but it was ok. We set up our new flash tent and them that was it bit was blowing a gale so we decided we'd have dinner early and the head into the tent. Mia was asleep at 7am and we played a few rounds of Uno. I have to say it was one of the WORST night we both had in a long time.
So around 6.30 ish all the backpackers decided to rock up and start catching up with everybody and making quite a pot of noise. That was ok, but it was till around 10.30pm I was getting a little annoyed. We all had a very fitful sleep. Mia was up almost every couple of hours as she wasn't sleeping very well either. By 7am I was absolutely knackered!!!! I could've slept all over again!
Wednesday 19/03/14 - So we were all up and decided that we had had enough and we'd head back home today. We were all packed and ready to leave by 9am. As we were all sleep deprived we drove straight home unpacked and did nothing for the rest of the afternoon (except sleep) :-)
