Week 2 of full-time travel - Busselton

The free camp at Bunbury was lovely, however, it’s a 2 night maximum stay, so onwards and southwards to Busselton.

We had stayed at Busselton Holiday Village earlier last year, and liked that it’s only a 10-15 minute walk from the town centre, plus it’s quite a quiet place to stay.

Our pitch was close to the ablutions and laundry, so we took the opportunity to get ALL the washing done that had been piling up since leaving Burns Beach (gotta watch that water usage when you only have what’s in your on-board water tanks!).

After 3 nights here, we moved a huge 6.3km down the road to the Lazy Days Caravan Park at the other side of Busselton.

Because I’m still working, albeit part-time, I’d gotten half my hours done before we had to leave Busselton Village at 10am, but because we couldn’t check in at the next camp site until after 12 noon, Steve found us a lovely spot for my new “office” view. He went for a wander long the walking path while I finished up for the day, then we tootled over to Lazy Days, checked in and setup camp for the next 7 nights.

Our friends, Karen & Peter have a place in Busselton, and we arranged to go over for a barbecue and drinks. We had a great afternoon and evening, with much food, drinks and laughs - thanks for being great hosts, guys! - and then at then end of the evening, we wandered back along the verge of the Bussell Hwy back to the caravan park.

We were surprisingly fine on Sunday, so after Karen & Peter had been over to see our caravan, we popped out to the local Aldi and Kmart to pick up a few bits ad pieces, then back to th caravan to relax.

As we were having a cheeeky afternoon drink, Steve spotted this out of the window, in the bay almost opposite us:

We know that giant logo from YouTube!

We follow Big Oz (Chris & Sian) on YouTube and knew that the car had gone to Sian’s dad when they upgraded their tow vehicle, so Steve decided to go and have a closer look and end up chatting with Ian, who is Sian’s dad. They had a good chat about cars nd caravans, and we ended up going over to his caravan for drinks and chat with him and his wife Toni (and Angel the doggo).

We had a great evening chatting and I dropped a DM to Big Oz to let them know.

Spotto! New friends :)
