Flinders Peninsula WA, Australia Bbbrrrrrr, it's that cold here in the South West (15 degrees) that we had to pull our winter clothes out of mothballs! Thankfully the forecast for places North of here, like Kalgoorlie, are still in the 30s as we're not yet ready to go back to the mid-teens after 2 months … Continue reading Dude, where’s my car?….

Albany, Australia How do you like to spend your birthday? Well, cooped up in the car driving for all day in the rain or course. There wasn't as much of a blow last night as we'd expected, in fact, the night was quite warm and we sort of dawdled around a bit this morning only … Continue reading Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday….

Busselton, WA, Australia Leaving Perth and heading toward the South West region of WA sort of feels like we're now on the homeward leg and I guess we are with only two weeks left. We've seen a variety of different landscapes; Central Australia, the Kimberley Region, the Dampier Peninsula and the Pilbara as well as … Continue reading Whales off the starboard bow….

Fremantle,  WA, Australia Yawnnnnn, we're both getting a bit weary!

Swan Valley, WA, Australia Catching up with Ann & Bill Enright tonight (Ann's an old school friend of Lyn, who we see very rarely) was a great way to finish off what seemed to have been a busy day.

Swan Valley, WA, Australia As we'd been a bit rushed yesterday, Lyn and I rose early and whizzed back out to the Pinnacles for another look around. It was early, about 6:30 when we left and we got some quite different light than what we had in the evening. It was a bit nippy, we … Continue reading A little bit of Spain….

Cervantes, WA, Australia After the HMAS Sydney memorial yesterday, Lyn and I spent the rest of the day in the Geraldton Museum.

Each morning at 10:30 there is a tour hosted by a group of devoted volunteers.

Geraldton, Australia Only a short day today, about 150 km's, so it makes sense to get a wriggle on this morning and get moving. This will let us get into Geraldton early enough to have lunch and then go and do some of the Geraldton sights. We were up and away a bit after 8:00 … Continue reading Pink is my favorite colour 🙂 ….

Kalbarri, Australia Up early and let's go for a snorkel. The temperature is getting cooler as we travel South so we need to take full advantage of anywhere that offers swimming and snorkelling. Apparently just out the road, there's a spot called Blue Holes where you can snorkel. Upon arriving a little after 8:30 we … Continue reading Cliffs, cliffs & more cliffs….
