Kings Park Wildflower Festival

Decide to come in from the bush and enjoy Perth a bit

The best ocean drive, and most remote place we've visited in Australia

In Esperance

So my thoughts lately have been turning to 'what kind of car do I want to buy when I return to California?'

I want:
- Something cheap, around $12,000.
- Something reliable.
- Something that gets good gas mileage, 24mpg or better
- Something that can go a bit down dirt roads.
- Something with cruise control
- An automatic

I don't need:
- A big butch SUV that can drive up cliff walls
- Another gas guzzler like my last car in California
- A new car
- The most powerful engine, or even the second most powerful engine in its class
- Financing
- A kick ass stereo system …

Long drive to Esperance

Hiked up Bluff Knoll in the Sterling Ranges

A wonderful day of hiking

Still more Albany exploring.

Great day exploring Albany WA

Tingle trees and wineries

More forest under gray skies.

A touring day through the karri forests.

To Cape Leeuwin

Touring the Margaret River area. Wine.

To Cowaramup

Head south from Perth.

Puttering around Perth

A day around Perth

Into Perth

Wildflower chasing

Walking around town

Down to Geraldton. More gorges and flowers.

Coastal cliffs and wildflowers
