The day started off with happy family members all around after everyone had a great sleep. Being in a house definitely felt like a novelty. We had a breakfast buffet included in our stay, so we took our time and indulged in all the good food. Then it was time for me to disappear for a…

We were so lucky to wake up to blue skies and no rain, woohoo! So we made the most of the morning, packed up quickly and headed off after a quick brekky at camp. It also meant that we could easily explore Busselton Jetty this morning before my work training session in Dunsborough. It was…

Today was a miserable weather event with rain and not a patch of blue in the sky. So we dug out all the rain jackets and cheered that I hadn’t had a chance to send the gumboots back home yet… they all came in handy! We were lucky to be able to eat breakfast in…
-
This morning I had some long meetings and training sessions, so Chris and the kids had a slow start to the day with finishing up some of the pack down, leisurely making breakfast and watching a bit of TV in the camp kitchen. Once I was all done we headed off down south and on…

Today was the day for the girls to get their selfie with a quokka and we were all very excited to head over to Rottnest Island for the day. The caravan park staff said that parking was no issue, but we still left with time to spare to grab a coffee before the ferry. Well,…

We had to pack and get ready around my meetings this morning, which always makes for a coordinated effort. As we headed out of Perth, we picked up our 5kgs of homework for the next term – yikes (thank goodness for another 13 days of holidays). Then we stopped at Rob’s bee supplies business and…
-
Chris took the car in for a suspension check this morning, which he organised to get some peace of mind after all the issues we had leading up to the latest fix in Karratha. So it meant a wheel free day at the caravan park. We were extremely lucky that just across the road was…

It was an early start and a swift pack up schedule this morning as we were headed on the Pinnacles tour at 7.30am. The view over the farm was gorgeous and we were lucky that yesterday’s drizzle had finally cleared. Nambung has special private access to the back of the Pinacles desert, which gives for a…

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…
-
It was great to wake up in nature and to have the beautiful views of the beach and bush around us. It’s nice to have slow mornings and be able to enjoy making brekky without pack up or work/homework. We went on a drive to see if there were some calmer inlets or beaches to…
-
We all packed up early and while I did a quick meeting the girls played with the boys one last time. They were certainly sad to say goodbye! On the way out of Kalbarri we stopped at Red Bluff Lookout to take in the view of Kalbarri and surrounding area, it was stunning. Not that…
-
Today was going to be a warm day, so we had a fairly swift morning of getting ready and heading out to the National Park. The girls were excited to have the company of the 3 boys for the day and it definitely made the walks enjoyable for the adults as well with busy kids…

One of my favourite things about this trip is waking up every morning next to Scarlett, mostly to a beautiful big smile and her cute little crazy morning hair. We ventured out for an early morning walk with my mini me and checked out the shoreline (no dolphin sightings yet) so we grabbed a coffee…
-
We headed out early to the dolphin encounter & discovery centre and waited patiently for the dolphins to appear. The rangers chatted about the dolphins, explained that only a handful of volunteers get to feed two of the dolphins in line with wildlife guidelines and that they would call everyone up to the beach once…
-
This morning we decided to hide from the flies as much as possible by hanging in the van. The girls were taking self-portraits all morning, so it’s always interesting how many hundreds of photos I’ll find on my phone… When we did eventually leave the van the flies were already brutal, so it was a quick…
