Northampton, WA - The Journey


Leeman to Northampton is just 204 kilometres along Highway 1 (Pacific Highway) although much of the highway is renamed. Today it was called, for much of the journey, Indian Ocean Drive.

The roads were as straight and good as they have been for the journey so far. Today we saw a lot of caravans on the road, some in convoy. The weather was just brilliant.
