Spring 2026 4WD Trip

Day One

Our youngest son is visiting and we decided to make a 2200km 4WD trip around a portion of West Australia as a reconnaissance for a potential club trip next year.

 

On the first day we drove 300km to a free campsite at Mollerin Rock.  Unfortunately the weather wasn’t kind and we experienced cold and windy conditions with some drizzle.   That night I attempted to cook roast lamb in the camp oven.  I’m not much of a cook and wasn’t expecting a success.  Fortunately (for me) Daniel has inherited his mother’s culinary skills and was able to take over much of the task.

I had moderate success boiling the water.

We had a spectacular sunset.

But it was a late dinner as the lamb roast was very large and took ages too cook.   In the end we resorted to preliminary cooking the veggies in a separate pot and only adding them to the oven t the very end.

The rooftop tent got buffeted around by the wind during the night which disrupted our sleep,
