We were lucky to have gotten a cancellation for the night to the station I had in mind, as it had been a nightmare trying to find where to stay whilst still moving south over the long weekend and the start of the holidays.
We packed up the van and all the new shells the girls had collected (I’m surprised our van doesn’t rattle from the number of shells in it) and headed off for a quick coffee & air compressor stop in Jurien Bay. Once we got to the service station, Chris quickly realised he should have just used his own air compressor as this thing was so slow and useless.
The kids wanted to go back to the playground and as we weren’t in any particular rush, we let them enjoy some time there. It was much busier though!
As we got further south everyone was hungry and so we pulled into Cervantes for lunch at the Lobster Shack and yet another park play. It’s great that the kids are happy to stay at parks playing for hours on end, but as a parent there’s only so many hours you can sit on the sidelines, ha ha.
From there it wasn’t a long drive to our final destination of Nambung station. It drizzled on and off as we set up, but at least that meant a pretty rainbow over the lush fields.
The kids got to feed farm animals too, including carrots to a donkey, a special grain mix to the sheep and milk to the baby calf, that is only 4 months old.
Whilst we got dinner leftovers reheated the kids found yet more swings, I’m surprised they aren’t dizzy from swinging so much, but it’s great to have them spend so much time outdoors.
