Yesterday, we met Granny and Grandpa at the airport, we only just made it in time as we had misjudged just how far away the airport is from Fremantle!! Hope I didn’t pass and cameras! Afterwards, I took the family to Hogsbreath for lunch before heading to Grandfathers place to catch up with some of … Continue reading »

Was good to finally have a lazy day today. Everyone had a sleep in… well I made it to 6:30am, the Kids to 7am and Fi got up some time around 8:30am, so compared to what we have been having…. was a lazy day. Was just good not to have to pack up and drive … Continue reading »

The problem with these outback caravan parks is….. roosters! We stayed overnight in a very basic caravan park out the back of a servo in Eucla WA. There is not much more here that a bunch of power poles, and for 20 bucks a night, you can pretty much pull up and plug in anywhere … Continue reading »

Well we have arrived in the west to a place called Eucla. It’s a small little place just over the border. It’s a servo, motel (rooms as cheap as 15 bucks a night -no Hilton I’m tipping) and a the caravan park. It looks more like a drive-in with random power poles scattered around the … Continue reading »
