I had some friendly visitors this morning when I woke up early to do some meetings. The Joey was pretty big and I was amazed how it still fitted in the mum’s pouch and that it would still be suckling from the pouch between grazes of grass. We decided to head out for a drive…

There were a few dusty heads around today, unsurprisingly, but no time for sympathy as we had our van booked for a safety inspection so that we can renew our NSW registration while we are away. The Douglass family also had a huge day of driving ahead of them, so we said our goodbyes and…

The kids were up early and were busy reading books to each other, playing Duplo and hanging out. Our little neighbour from Switzerland had his 4th birthday and we got chatting to the parents about their travel plans of 1 year around the world – wow! We went for a drive to the jetty and…

Everyone had a good sleep and we got straight into travel mode after a quick brekkie. We packed up and set off relatively early today, however by the time we got fuel and grabbed a coffee the kids asked for the lunchbox, only to realise that we had left it at the camp kitchen. So…

We had a relaxed start to the morning, the girls played mums and kids in our bed and when Scarly was the mama, she was doing work on her “laptop and phone”. Once it warmed up a bit we headed out to see the many glorious beaches of the area… Little Boat Harbour looked pretty,…
-
We woke up to rain early in the morning, which really wasn’t ideal for pack up day, but it cleared pretty quickly and we even had some sunshine to dry a few things off… The kids always seem to have time for one quick play at the playground, but it actually worked well because our…

The big girls and I snuck off this morning for a beach walk, it wasn’t quite sunrise as that wild have involved a 5am start for them and we don’t mess with kids’ sleep, but 6am was a more natural time for them to get up and jump out of bed. It was a lovely morning with plenty of…
-
We started the day with a family stroll along the beach, which was lovely and helped motivate everyone for the first day back at school. Of course the girls had another play at the playground… Once we had eaten brekkie back at camp and packed some snacks for the day we were off to explore…

We left relatively early this morning as we had a number of planned stops along the way, the first one being Dinosaur world! It was incredible how real-life the dinosaurs were and with the movement, sound effects and lighting in the room it made for a very realistic experience, which in turn completely freaked Scarly…

This morning we woke up to yet more rain, which was annoying, but at least we had the undercover kitchen and games room to spread out. I cooked the girls their favourite egg circle and they had two each, they must have been hungry! I’d heard about the WOW eco cruise as we headed into…

There was a bit of drizzle around this morning as we packed up, so we had a quick brekkie and headed out to get coffee from the local coffee roasters. It was a great brew and the kids loved having so many books to read. We quickly ducked out of town to have a look…
-
We said our goodbyes to the Douglass family and headed our separate ways. Our day consisted of going inland to check out some of the forest and nature spots. Our first stop for the day was Pemberton, a quaint old tree mill town surrounded by forests, with a proud history of dedicated people. As we…

This morning the girls finally got to catch up with their friends, the Douglass boys and they were super happy about it! The rope swing was a particular hit and it seemed like they would have been happy just staying there the entire day, ha ha. We walked down to the beach if we might…
-
Another day, another early meeting, but at least it meant that there was still plenty of time to pack up and get ready to move sites. The weather was pretty cold and dreary again, which really puts a downer on the mood and makes it hard to enjoy some of the natural wonders around the…
-
It was an early start for me as I had forgotten that WA don’t do daylight savings and so my 9amSydney meeting was actually at 6am! Yikes However a perk was that by breakfast time in WA it was already Sydney lunchtime and a great time for a break. So we headed out to Gnarabup to check out…
