We were hoping to bring you some photos of the wild flowers but after leaving Geraldton the wild flower displays were disappointing. There were loads of flowers on the road sides on the way down to Geraldton but we didn't bother to stop and take pictures!
We arrived back in Perth and moved into a luxury timeshare apartment organised by Josie and Brian.
So instead of pictures of wild flowers, here are some useless facts and figures about our trip:
