crew assembled... at shopping center parking
Finally got the campervan, 2011 model car, only done 15000km... If you guys ever need hire campervans, we recommend going onto the backpacker campervan website and have a look, our camper sleeps 4, even has a fridge for beer and a microwave. Fun driving... First stop, Pinnacles, 250km from Perth... Pinnacles has a ranger's office, 11 dollar entry fee for car, over 5000 ancient stones, all naturally formed, noone really know how they got there, against a dessert like background...

Geraldton was another 350km up North, we decided to bunker down there for the night, right by the beach... shame we didn't read the no camping sign... got woken up by the ranger... So lesson learnt, rangers do NOT go away by TRYING TO ignore them, they knock even louder to wake you up... always read camping signs, camp at designated spots, or else could be fined over 500 dollars... We negotiated down to a little fine, won't reveal the sum here... At least the beach view was great... we woke to the beach and sunrise... perhaps worth it.

By the way, we had curry chicken with rice for dinner that night, all cooked in the campervan, cos we have a stove too... Koala and the Kiwi did the cooking, me and the Swede did the washing... I Love doing dishes... Jag ska diska nu... Alltid.
