Tues, 14th Nov, 2017 Yanchep National Park, Yanchep to Bob & Margaret’s, near Mandurah, WA

7.30am 24.8 degrees, clear sky and strong wind.

Rick rang to say he can’t cancel the timeshare so we may as well use it. I suggested that Kaylene should still come over to have a break after she finishes teaching as Jakob is there to care for him and ‘happy wife is a happy life’ as they say. He agreed so the week holiday is back on.

We headed back onto the highway then detoured back to the coast road to Quinns Rocks. Lots of housing development all the way down the coast here. Cute entrance to another beach area and some art on a roundabout.

We stopped at Trigg for lunch. This is Bennion Beach - nice spot – looking north. Lovely calm day so everyone is enjoying the beach.

Walked south along the boardwalk. Lots of little beach spots in between the limestone rocks. This is Trigg Island.

Continued south to Trigg Beach itself – looking to Perth. Out to sea we can just make out Rottnest Island.

Headed inland and onto the freeway through Perth, past Kings Park – the war memorial stands out. Over the Narrows and the Swan River.

Continued south of the freeway to Mandurah. Over the Mandurah Estuary which leads to the huge Peel Inlet.

Along the neck and across the Dawesville Channel, known as The Cut, which also goes into the Peel Inlet.

Backed into Bob and Margaret’s place and set up beside the shed this time so Steve can do some maintenance etc.

We were having a cuppa with Bob and Margaret on the verandah, catching up on news, when Kev and Linda called in so we had a great afternoon chatting.

So great to have a place to give the truck and van a good clean and do all the bits and pieces we need to do after three years on the road.

Still cool in the evening.
