On June 1, 1829, Western Australia's coast was first sighted from the merchant ship Barque Parmelia. This led to the establishment of the Swan River Colony, the first permanent British colony in Western Australia. Western Australia Day (formerly Foundation Day) is officially celebrated on June 1, but the public holiday is observed on the first Monday in June.

We love getting away to go camping, but sadly this long weekend it wasn't to be. So for something different today I thought I would follow the lead of my blogging friend - Redz Australia with some camp site reminiscing with my own - Aussie Loos with Views (Please click on the link to read about Redz book, Aussie Loos with Views, and Redz adventures and Australian travels). Thanks Red for the inspiration. I am tracking down loos for you Red. I am sure people wonder what the heck I am doing.
