Merredin to Fremantle (Coogee Beach Caravan Park) – 332km

Weather was much more reasonable this morning – cool but not freezing. The sky was reasonably clear too. We fuelled up on the way out, and then headed towards York.
Arriving at York, we headed out towards the caravan park having made a booking yesterday. Unfortunately, by this time it was absolutely pouring with rain. We got there at 10:40 only to find that the office was closed between 10:00 and 11:00. We were just about to leave when the (presumably) manager appeared. On telling him we had a booking, he led us to a site right at the back of the park, which was occupied by the neighbour’s vehicle. This was not a bad thing in itself, but apparently the neighbour is deaf, and didn’t hear all the banging on the door. At that point, our joint patience reserve snapped (never very high at the best of times), and we decided to pull out and head directly to Perth.
We looked at the Coogee Beach Caravan Park first (2.5km S of Fremantle) and decided it offered the best value for money. With an Aspen Parks discount card the price is $26.10 / night.
Paid a quick visit to Jeff & Jennie, just to let them know we’re here, and to sort a date for a lengthier visit.
Had the last load of Scallops and Prawns (bought in Port Lincoln) for tea. Beautiful on Satay Rice.
