Aside from the opportunistic wildflower viewing down the coast of WA throughout most of October, we had a special wildflower photography morning at Lesueur National Park, near Jurian Bay.

We made good time to Fitzroy Crossing arriving at about lunch time and settled in to make good use of the power and water! Isaac is super keen to buy his own laptop at the moment so earnt a few dollars cleaning out the caravan bathroom and folding some of our three spectacularly big, and significantly less dirty, loads of washing! One swim was required to settle the cabin fever in the evening and of course an episode of River Cottage Australia online, our latest addiction... 
To the kids it is already becoming known as the place with the great toilets, but it was more than that...
