After many hours online trying to figure out how we can see what we want to see in Western Australia without completely blowing up the budget, I've got the route figured out. I also found a deal on an SUV rental. Our roadtrip of 1600 km will include city, outback and coast. We'll spend:
3 nts in Perth at the City Stay Apartment hotel
(drive 595 km)
2 nts in Kalgoorlie at the Discovery Holiday Park (mining town in the Outback)
(drive 382 km)
2 nts in Bruce Rock at their Caravan Park (middle of Wheatbelt - there for Australia Day)
(drive 419 km)
5 nts in Busselton at the Ambling Holiday Park (on the beach and near Margaret River wineries)
(drive 157 km)
2 nts in Mandurah at Silver Sands Resort (cabin near the beach; on the way back to Perth airport)
(drive 76 km)
At three of the five locations, we're renting a cabin in a campground. These ought to be good, as they provide housekeeping and recreational facilities, and should have some kids around. Even with my best bargain hunting, the daily cost will still average C$164 (ouch). Now, if I can only figure out a way to keep cold beer and good coffee in the budget...
