WA Travel advice

Another alternative....
Volunteer at a National Park. We have done so on several occasions (not with visitor contact) and the experiences have been very worthwhile.

The other thing we have learned is that most National Parks, every community, every cattle station have secret places that they do not share with visitors, especially tourists. But if you can spend time (weeks or months) as a contributing part of their community, their trust can be gained and they will share those special secret places with you.

Kulin caravan park is a nice little shire run park, where you 'pay what you think it is worth'. A shire rep comes around each arvo about 5pm to collect the dues. No argument, just a 'thank you'. Most seem to offer $25-$30 a night, which I reckon is fair, but there is always the occasional nob who abuses the goodwill of the shire. You can agree a longer term rate at the shire/info office just up the road. There is also a free camp area behind that office, which sees a bit of use.

Thanks for taking the time to reply Peter.
Looks like a great little park and area around Kulin where we can base ourselves and explore.

It sounds like a gd little community park and we are always happy t contribute to the areas we pass through.

A bit of “down time” will also g well as I have my head in the books self studying for the standard amateur radio theory exam.

Thanks John,
I grew up around wheat and grain crops in Qld and the wheatbelt is definitely on my list of areas to stay.

Was that pre- or post-Covid? How far ahead did you book that?

G’day Christian and Peter,

Thanks for your advice. We are staying at a farm stay outside Manjimup until 10 December then managed to snag a spot at Gracetown until 26 December.

After that we are staying a week on a property outside Busselton then will head inland to Kulin to explore a while. After that …….

We are really enjoying all that WA has to offer.

Cheers and thanks for your suggestions.

G’day Ash,

We stayed at Bremmer Bay on our way across to Albany, Denmark and Peaceful Bay. All great spots.
