We Couldn’t Get Into Albany… So We Stayed on a Farm Instead | Our Chosen Road

Описание: It’s been a bit of a stressful few days, but as we always say, you just show up and get it done.

After leaving Wave Rock, we stopped briefly in Bremer Bay but only managed one night thanks to a busy salmon fishing tournament booking everything out. From there, we headed towards Albany hoping to stay at Bettys Beach or Normans Campground, but they were completely full as well.

Feeling a little defeated and needing to get the kids out of the car, we found Little Burra Retreat, a beautiful farm stay near Albany WA. It turned out to be exactly what we needed.

Private paddock. Cows to feed. A dam. Space to breathe. Only five kilometres from the beach and surf.

We used the farm stay as a base to explore beaches like Bettys Beach and East Bay, driving dirt tracks through rolling hills with boulders on one side and the ocean on the other. It ended up being more protected and peaceful than the campgrounds we originally planned.

This episode also shares a big change for our family. After our first au pair had to leave due to a family emergency, we found Katrin (Trin for short) from Germany, who flew in from Bali to Perth and then caught a long bus ride to Albany where we picked her up. Having that extra support has already made a difference, especially with balancing editing, business and most importantly Alvie’s therapy.

We also set up the new collapsible boat trailer and began working out how to pack and store everything properly as we continue travelling Western Australia by caravan.

If you’re travelling around Albany, Bremer Bay or looking for a peaceful farm stay near the beach in WA, Little Burra Retreat was a genuine win for us.

The next episode will be Albany and Cosy Corner.

This channel follows our family as we travel Australia by caravan, sharing honest moments from long term travel and life on the road.
