G'day,
I'm not too sure of trips north of
Perth other than
the Pinnacles, but if you want to go east instead, there are some interesting things to see on the
Hyden-
Norseman road, such as Lake Cronin (if it has water, and if the roads open). Other options are to visit the
Sandstone area of the goldfields, but you might want more than a night or two up there.
If you want more details, my email is alx110alex@netscape.net
Cheers,
Alex.

Hi Jono,
Depends if you want to stay on the coast or go in land,,,, Ningham Station (
check the spelling on that) on the great northern is only about 4.5 hours north of
Perth and makes for a nice weekend away. Not too far and has some 4x4 runs but nothing too challanging. On the coast depending on how far you want to drive there is
Jurien bay, North
Hampton area and if your really keen Cape Perron or
Steep point at
Sharks Bay! I have done
Steep point in a weekend but it was a very long trip for such a short stay!!!
There is also a great book you can get from most news agents for about $10 called weekend trips from
Perth. This booklet has some good ideas and all the info on how to get there and points of interest.
