15 November - Armadale, Serpentine National Park and Mandurah

15 November 2016 – 195 358
Armadale, Serpentine National Park and Mandurah


After a sleep in this morning, we tackled the traffic of Perth with the caravan.  Our first stop was in Armadale, to visit the stone fruit orchards – ripe peaches at great prices and so juicy!  Next up was Serpentine National Park for a walk.  
When we got there the two main walks, Kitty’s Gorge and Baldwin’s Bluff were closed due to the very high fire danger – no great surprise given the temperature was 37 degrees at 10am!  We did a short walk to Serpentine Falls, which was quite pretty.  
After this we drove to Mandurah – this is a very developed beachside area with plenty of traffic and paid parking.  While we were driving, the air temperature dropped ten degrees in ten minutes and the afternoon was far more comfortable than the morning.  We have camped for the night at Mandurah Caravan and Tourist Park, which thankfully is well away from the town area.  After a late lunch we set up camp and then had a sleep and a swim.
