Our First Journey the Jayco Expanda

Sat, 06. Dec. 2014
11:30

Location: 17 Maple Pl, Maddington WA 6109, Australia

Leaving home on our first trip away withe new Jayco Expanda. New car as well. Guess we will see how much we can use it. Heading for the farm and stay overnight with Mum & Dad. I suppose it is a bit of a test while still in familiar territory. Did a brief stop in Byford to drop Julie off at a talk which Mum was going to as well. The kids and I went on to the farm and Mum and Julie turned up later after the talk.

Hyden - We arrive

Sun, 07. Dec. 2014
16:00

Location: Wave Rock Caravan Park, 1 Wave Rock Rd, Hyden WA 6359, Australia

Arrived without incident. Got set up in under an hour. The temperature was in the mid thirties. We went for a bit of wall to that Wave Rock for look. Decided it was getting a bit too dark to see and we would have more time in the morning.

Wave Rock Hyden

Mon, 08. Dec. 2014
7:50

Location: Wave Rock, lot 6359, Lot 4 Lovering Rd, Hyden WA 6359, Australia

Early start and a short walk to the entrance to Wave Rock. Hopefully the temperature will be ok on the morning. We spent a couple of days at Hyden and saw just about everything there was to see. It is a rather amazing structure with some interesting history. There is a history muesem across the road from the caravan park. There is also an animal zoo. It had 5 white kangaroos. Could not find the sixth.

Esperance And It's Coast

Tue, 09. Dec. 2014
2:50

Location: Esperance Seafront Caravan Park, Goldfields Rd, Castletown WA 6450, Australia

It was very windy as we arrived with the onshore breeze. Our size was on the front row facing the water. Good for the view but no so good for the wind. It took two hours to setup. This was the first time puttingup the annex and I did not have ladder. The top of the popup of the Jayco Expanda it higher than expected.
We took the kids fishing on the local jetty. Both Aidyn and Taleah caughttheir first fish. It was an exciting day for them. Later we visted the town centre and museum where Aidyn tried to get run over by a tank.
