So I’ve had plenty of time to start thinking about the next trip to plan, but I’m torn between doing what we want to do and what we can do.
Camping/travelling/exploring with a dog is quite difficult we’ve found. Avril and I have talked about Karijini for quite a while now and we’re both keen as mustard to do it but you can’t take dogs into National Parks (unless you’re blind, but then why are you going to a NP?! I call it reverse discrimination!).
Knowing that there are caravan parks in the area you are visiting where you can stay with a dog is quite good, just hope there is a vet/kennel you can leave your fur baby while you go where they can’t.
But I digress, no matter how much it pains me to holiday without Lucy, I think Karijini may be next on the agenda. With Newman only ~1200km away from home, it can easily be reached without stretching ourselves.
When to go is the next question. The next leave we’ve got planned is July, to coincide with our 2 year anniversary, but I think the last time I looked Karijini in July can get quite cold. “Toughen up princess” I hear you all say.
Exmouth is lovely and is easily reached within a day. Could I do it again so soon? You betchya.
Decisions, decisions, decisions.
Thumbs up from the handbrake on Karijini, especially with the new prime lens! Have to buy those blow up mattresses and a waterproof camera housing though..hmm!
You will NOT regret Karijini at all. I stronlgy recommend leaving the dog at home and camping in the park, its a long drive everyday too and from town. Yes it will be cold, if its not cold it will be freezing!!
One of the single nicest “tourist” destinations in WA.
hey graham, glad to see you found the site :)
having spoken briefly with avril, looks like karijini has been given the green light!
when I’m back in Perth I’ll finally mail that form to you too ;)
cheers,
jason.
