We need more trips - Going overseas is still a bit restricted - so may as well use my 4WD for some local trips instead!
Get
your gear
off Road / family out of the house kids off their iPads. Maybe day trip up in the
hills, beach or overnighter somewhere? Here are some ideas for Day
trips:
- Moore river state forest, - Mundaring, - Willbinga, - North, South, East…
Yes I’m always keen for a drive. Anyone interested in leading a trip,
please email me and I can assist with sorting out the details for you.

Silo Art Trip - 5 day trip - expressions of interest We
are planning on doing the silo art trail. Dates haven't been set as we
want to gauge expression of interest, at this stage we are looking at
August/ September 2022.
Day 1: The plan would be to leave Saturday stopping in Northam and then staying the night in Merredin or surrounding area.
Day 2: Leaving Merredin to head to Katanning and staying in the town or
at camp sites. We will try and stay at Lake Ewlyamartup Camp ground.
Lake Ewlyamartup > Shire of Katanning Info here
Day 3: Leave Katanning, go through Pingrup, Newdegate and staying in Ravensthorpe or surrounding area.
Day 4: Ravensthorpe to Albany.
Day 5: Albany to Perth. We may be staying down in Albany for a few days
so your more than welcome to stay or head home at you own leisure. We
are looking at down about 300kms a day. At this stage we will be
staying in caravan parks in the major towns. There may be a night or 2
where we may stay at campsites. We are open to other points of interest
along the way. We will be travelling with a 4/5 month old so
sleep may be interrupted at night. Price is roughly $30 a night for
powered sites.

Christmas trip - Albany - 1 week trip
We
are off to Rose Gardens Tourist Park at Emu Point Albany. Dates
26/12/2022 – 3/1/2023. Unfortunately all of the powered sites are now
full but the park has plenty of unpowered sites still available. Use
the link below to book as this is the easiest way. Please remember in
the notes section to write GO BUSH so that the park managers know you
are with us and can put us all together. Loads of things to do right
near the water and a lovely clean park. See you all there.
