We arrived in Perth early on the morning quite tired so we woke up to thirty to catch the plane to Melbourne candle heater where we just closed our eyes for a while. Some come with some uncertainty because we do not have confirmation of couchsurfing host and we should because candle heater we only have a slight idea of what are our plans for the next few days. From the airport trying to tie a rental car for the next few days, we still have the tent and thought I might be doing nights here and there without too much trouble while touring the west coast of Australia. We find it difficult to rent a car, as always, the companies charge all kinds of extras by nationality of your driving license, the kilometers you want to drive, festive dates or not and the type of insurance, of course, more The majority does not allow you to drive beyond the 26th Parallel, or the Tropic of Capricorn, because it means that much conduiràs north of Perth and therefore sumaràs many kilometers the car. The truth is that we started was a little tired of this Australian rigidity and accuracy and / or the West, we have the feeling that everything is more complicated and that everything has a price. We decided to leave the airport and try your luck with the local company Baywaters Rentals, allows us to do this drive to Exmouth to Perth 1268km, the car is nearly new Toyota Corolla and the price is much more fixed than those offered by other agencies. Well, we already have the car and we are ready to start route again, but does not start until the next day, then spend the night with the Berta and Leigh! CouchSurfing has failed us but we're happy to Berta, candle heater Sabadell and friend who lives in Perth for 6 years welcomes us with open arms to give us a good dinner candle heater and a comfortable place to spend the night, more We can spend the day in St. George together, talking in Catalan and saying a lot of things about Australia, travel, dreams candle heater and plans for the future ... In Leigh offers cold beer and advises us on our way to see the coast. Both are excellent hosts, thank you for all !!
The next day we wake up rested and eager, we stop at a supermarket, petrol we kiss and take Highway north Indian. We expect a lot of drive and want to make some stops along the way before we darken. You know, driving at night surrounded by Australian bush is a risky activity, any time you can surprise candle heater a kangaroo crossing the road or a road train behind demanding that threatens not let him.
At noon we stop at Yanchep National Park, we bite and a walk to see kangaroos quiet nap by lying about koalas very lazy and we look unconcerned while chewing on eucalyptus candle heater leaves. We four photos and we get up again, drive a few more kilometers and we stop again at Pinnacles NP serves as the entrance of Yanchep NP and in an hour you can use this Martian landscape over land, a land yellowish thousands of rocks eroded by wind and rain that have adopted vertical and pointed shapes. The site is funny and we can guess that the sunsets are very nice but they must be the clouds with us and we get to the rest area where we spent the night, some 150km to the north.
We choose places to spend the night checking a mobile application, Wikicamps Australia, which reports all service areas and rest, or similar, you will find the way. We drive on the highway candle heater from the coast, candle heater especially for busy camper vans and 4 4 caravans hauling of all kinds, huge trucks and also some confused tourists like us. The rest areas are nothing more than a space reclaimed from the bush beside the road, with four bins, toilets and a poorly placed two tables, but much more is needed to plant the tent and spend the night. candle heater It is a good place to watch the Australians gather around a makeshift fire and chatted with a beer in each hand. In Australia are increasingly common "new nomads" lonely people or couples, mostly retired or retired people who sell properties and collect a bunch of dollars to invest in a powerful 4 4 with caravan or similar including motor boat, traveling the country and living in a self-sufficient, generating its own energy with solar panels, their water tanks and stopping at points of civilization to fill the fuel tank and buy food need. The motivation is clear, yearning candle heater for freedom, peace, candle heater solitude, outdoors and nature. It is interesting to see them everywhere, proud of their homes and traveling with all the comforts while enjoying the freedom of nomadic life.
We're not lucky, we route the second day of rain and rain all day with us, you
