Now, where were we? Oh yes; still in Perth. After 5 months of working in Perth hospitals we decided it was time to move on.

We went to a local garage,...elaine w2Thu, 19 Apr 2012 12:38:00 GMThttp://www.ExplorOz.com/Members/243062/12/2011/christmas_in_Perth.aspxhttp://www.ExplorOz.com/Members/243062/12/2011/christmas_in_Perth.aspxWell, here we are, still at the Banksia Tourist Park. Happy Christmas to all our readers; especially those friends and family who are far away. Had a problem with our awning. The wind kept pulling it out of the clamps which hold it in place when the annex is up. On examination,...elaine w2Mon, 26 Dec 2011 03:40:00 GMThttp://www.ExplorOz.com/Members/243062/11/2011/Adelaide_-_WA_Settled_for_a_while_.aspxhttp://www.ExplorOz.com/Members/243062/11/2011/Adelaide_-_WA_Settled_for_a_while_.aspxWell, we've been in Perth for three weeks. Without much travelling, it has been a great break for us. We have both started working for the Western Australia Nurses Agency (WANA); and are trying to join Nursewest, the Government run casual pool of nurses. This pool covers all areas of WA,...elaine w2Thu, 24 Nov 2011 08:49:00 GMThttp://www.ExplorOz.com/Members/243062/11/2011/On_our_way_Day_8_.aspxhttp://www.ExplorOz.com/Members/243062/11/2011/On_our_way_Day_8_.aspxFrom Kalgoorlie, we made our way west towards Perth, via coolgardie. At Coolgardie, the eyre highway becomes the great Eastern Highway; and goes all the way into Perth. We had about 500Kms to go. As we drove West, the countryside changed; gradually at first,...elaine w2Tue, 08 Nov 2011 08:44:00 GMThttp://www.ExplorOz.com/Members/243062/11/2011/On_our_Way_Day_7_.aspxhttp://www.ExplorOz.com/Members/243062/11/2011/On_our_Way_Day_7_.aspxThree days out of cyber space; much to Elaine's distress; no browsing, no emails, and patchy telephone coverage.

We called in to Fraser Range Station; yes there is a hole there....elaine w2Sat, 05 Nov 2011 08:04:00 GMThttp://www.ExplorOz.com/Members/243062/11/2011/On_Our_Way_Day_5-7_.aspxhttp://www.ExplorOz.com/Members/243062/11/2011/On_Our_Way_Day_5-7_.aspxWe've arrived in Perth!

We drove across the Eyre Peninsula from Cowell to Elliston. This road is a good road and also a "Road less travelled" from a caravaner's point of view. Cleve is a lovely town; worth spending a day or so to explore....elaine w2Fri, 28 Oct 2011 11:36:00 GMThttp://www.ExplorOz.com/Members/243062/10/2011/On_our_Way_Day_3_Adelaide_-_W_A.aspxhttp://www.ExplorOz.com/Members/243062/10/2011/On_our_Way_Day_3_Adelaide_-_W_A.aspxWell, we've come a long way today.

Our navigator took us along rural roads to Hamley Bridge, Owen, and Balaklava before arriving in Port Wakefield. Then onto the north part of the Yorke Peninsula, via Bute, to Port Broughton. This is a beautifully peaceful spot,...elaine w2Tue, 25 Oct 2011 14:00:00 GMThttp://www.ExplorOz.com/Members/243062/10/2011/On_Our_Way_Day_1.aspxhttp://www.ExplorOz.com/Members/243062/10/2011/On_Our_Way_Day_1.aspxFinally, after heaps of hard work packing the house up; and trying not to take the kitchen sink with us; we have left Adelaide.
