One morning this week, I woke up to the crisp dawn air in a camper van parked by the ocean, in a south-western corner of Western Australia, about five hours’ drive from Perth.
We had arrived at the beach to take in the sunset and made a spur of the moment decision to stay overnight. It helped that we had a self-contained camper van with 40 litres of water in two water tanks, and a lithium battery to power our devices and the fridge. We had a portable gas stove, and kitchen supplies. We were free to camp practically anywhere we wanted.
