National Park visits

On Saturday we went to Yanchep National Park. It was reasonably good but nothing like the brochure. The Koalas were very far away and it was difficult to see them, let alone photograph them. Saying that Kaitlyn loved it, particularly trying to spot the Koalas in the trees (but go to Caversham if you want to see them close up). There is a pond/lake at Yanchep and it may be better after September when there are boats for hire and the lake cruises start. We missed the cave tours, which are probably the main reason for coming here. Maybe next time.

Aboriginal experience. In the busier months there are shows; didgeridoo, talks, etc.

Next 2 pics are from the cave. Shame we couldn't get in.

On Sunday we went to Avon Valley National Park and Walyunga National Park. Avon wasn't quite what we expected. Very outdoor and not the best if you have kids in tow.

Wilderness in winter. Greener than it is in summer.

Walyunga was great. Nice riverside walks with Kangaroos hopping around and parrots almost eating out of your hand. There are free public gas barbeques and picnic tables which I'm sure will be very popular in the warmer months.

Parrots are quite tame here
