The underground house was a big hit with all and the novelty of having a kitchen table and couch was also real! Once the kids woke up they were busy playing with all the toys and books for ages, which was lovely to hear. Whilst I had some morning meetings Chris and the girls ventured…

Everyone was excited to get to Coober Pedy today and so we had a quick brekkie, a few fights about homework and set off. It was a good and uneventful road, which is all you really want when travelling! However the fuel stop we had planned didn’t eventuate, as the town had no power and…

This morning we got some reprieve from the rain as we got ready, yay! The girls also enjoyed having brekkie in the kitchen whilst watching a bit of TV as a novelty. It’s been nice not having the TV, although they do watch shows on the iPad in the car occasionally or on rainy days. …

The weather was back to its old tricks in the morning with drizzle and a wind that was blowing enough to make pack up unpleasant. We headed off and made a stop in Port Lincoln for brekkie at a French croissanterie! The girls felt all fancy drinking their babycinos and my croque madame was absolutely…

Scarly woke up surprised to see her spider web face stickers still on her face, but then she refused to take them off, so spider girl it was for the day… the girls set off creating “fashion” outfits and had a nice play with their friend Maisy. Then it was off onto the next adventure…

We had another day of questionable weather and with today being Halloween we decided to stay another night in Coffin Bay and just do a day trip into Coffin Bay National Park. There were so many emus on the road driving into the National Park, it was a bit of a minefield and one got…

It had rained overnight, which wasn’t great for the washing that I had drying outside, but you can’t let these things get to you. While we quickly packed up, the girls found some pedal carts and did a few laps around the park. Jazzy’s feet were definitely not long enough, but she was determined to…

Of all the days to wake up with a hangover, today was not ideal! I felt rotten and very silly for not starting my 40s with a bit more wisdom and self-control to not drink so much the night before… silly mama! But nothing was going to stop me from finally swimming with the sea…

The morning consisted of morning cuddles and snuggles as well as reading beautiful messages from my lovely friends who celebrated with me. How blessed to have the day with my family travelling Australia! We didn’t have any set plans anymore since the sealion tour got postponed to tomorrow so it was a relaxed and slow…

Everyone was up early this morning, so we walked up to the corner store and the girls loved the pelican statue. There was a glimmer of sun today, but the wind was still out in force so we decided to head out inland for an adventure at Gawler Ranges to see a rock formation called…

Today was moving day and we were hoping to finally escape the rain! We would officially be heading to the Eyre Peninsula, a place I have very fond memories of from our last trip. We made a brief stop at Streaky Bay, but the wind was out of control… I have never seen so many…

We had a break from the rain this morning and headed out to have a look at Ceduna. It was a quiet little town and you can see that it would have been lovely in warm weather. There was a very long jetty and a nice playground, including a big jumping pillow, which entertained the…
-
Everyone woke up “late” today because we were still on WA time and so 2.5hours behind. We didn’t really need to rush, but it was going to be another long driving day to get to the start of the Eyre peninsula and with drizzly weather we didn’t take long to pack up and hit the…

It was our last morning in WA and what a stint it’s been!! Grateful for all the experiences and memories and already looking forward to coming back to explore more one day! We had a quick look around the Balladonia roadhouse museum and it’s interesting to imagine how people would have travelled these vast landscapes…
-
It was a dramatic morning sky and I couldn’t resist walking down to the beach for a morning walk. It was peaceful and gorgeous! The weather was still looking gloomy and cold, so we decided to cut our losses and move on from Lucky Bay. It meant that we would be heading East from Norseman…
