Frank Lupino Memorial Park to Timbertop Caravan Park at Mandurah

This morning we drove to The Serpentine Falls. 
Well it most definitely wasn’t a spectacular waterfall. 
The ranger at the entrance at the park told us about two walks and we decided to do the Baldwin Bluff walk which took about two hours return. The track up was steep in some parts, which meant good exercise. Luckily the views were rewarding. Afterwards we enjoyed lunch in the Park before we drove on to Mandurah.

We didn’t know what to expect from Mandurah so we were very surprised to find it was a popular lifestyle alternative for Perth. The waters around the Peel Inlet and Harvey Estuary form the center of Mandurah, with suburbs built around artificially created canal systems.


We found a campsite in the city. This allowed us to explore the estuary and to look at the expensive yachts and all the Christmas decorations on many of the waterfront residences. We ended the evening with a beer in the local Irish pub.

 After being in the outback for a while this was a welcome change to how we spend our evenings for a change.
