It wasn’t work – but it was a great experience. My husband and I travelled to Western Australia with 2 other couples in July, and explored the Canning Stock Route together. 3 weeks of bush camping, 2000km of sand in 4WD, and not a hot shower in sight! It was truly a grand experience, not without its challenges, but the landscape and the history associated with the stock route and the surrounding region in WA was worth the effort. We learnt a lot, and are working on the next adventure.
