Ok my turn!! I have not posted for a while as Craig usually gets up earlier than the rest of us (surprising I know) and sits quietly posting about the previous days adventures. The only way I can post about what we have ben up to is if I do it now before he does … Continue reading »

Well I always thought that WWW stood for World Wide Web, or when referring to a place, the Wild Wild West, but as it turns out it stands for the Wild Western Wind!!! I just checked the BOM site and we are going to have these 40 Knott winds until Monday 🙁 At least the … Continue reading »

Well yesterday we battled the wind and a little rain to make it to Cervantes, not far from the Pinnacles Desert in the Nambung National park. We booked into The Pinnacles Caravan park in Cervantes for two nights, although after finding our site and setting up, we pretty much decided that one night would be … Continue reading »

What a wild final night in Perth. Didn’t get much sleep last night as the weather howled and shook the van to pieces. We had packed most of the outside of the van yesterday in preparation for leaving today, and I am certainly glad I took the Annex walls down while they were dry. We … Continue reading »

Well it’s been a few days since I have written so I thought I better do a quick catch up. The fact that I have downloaded some photos has jogged my memory. We have wanted to do so many touristy things since being here but have done very little at this point. We have been … Continue reading »

Just took the kids for a walk down to the beach. Was a fair walk from the caravan park, but Tara made up for it by spotting a Blue Tounge Lizard. Went for a wander along the pier, then along the beach. Water looked very inviting and I had this desire to get my gear … Continue reading »

Was a long and emotional day today. We farewelled Grandfather. Was a lot more emotional than I thought it would be, I guess having been so busy preparing to get over here I hadn’t really had the opportunity to grieve the loss of my Grandfather, and I certainly grieved at the funeral. I promised myself … Continue reading »
