After a great time in Broome we were excited to explore the Dampier Peninsula that everyone has been raving about… Our first stop was Beagle Bay community with its famous Sacred Heart church made of shells. It was really pretty and the designs made me think of Mexican buildings, but it turned out that it…

This morning we woke up to a lot of fog, which was rather unexpected… it still turned out to be a beautiful day and in fact we’ve been lucky to have been sitting at about 30C the whole time we have been here, but it’s a comfortable 30C. Today was a day of home and…

It was a lovely warm morning and we started the day with a nice walk & brekky along Cable Beach. It looked like the tide had gone right out because there was a lot of beach and the water was pretty far, but in fact it was one of the higher tides they get in…

Jazzy woke up to a visit from the tooth fairy! Another tooth lost and it each time it’s been after spending time with Bella and Addie – luckily the tooth fairy knows where to find Jazzy. We had an early morning round of goodbyes as our road besties set off. As we were only going…

Barn Hill lived up to its community vibe as there were Sunday Markets there in the morning and lots of people. The Wild Girls, as they have called their collective gaggle of girls decided to set up a stall at the markets to paint nails and to sell a few unwanted items. Surprisingly, they actually…

Everyone woke up excited as today we were catching up with our road besties again after not seeing them for a few weeks. We briefly headed out to some local markets and a local art gallery. Just outside we saw a group of local men carving into the boab seeds, so Jazzy picked one out carved…

Today we had two teams on the go. Mama, Jazzy and Scarly on team Derby while Chris and Izzy went to Horizontal Falls. We’ve had to split up as Scarly is too small to go, so we have to go in separate teams and on different days to visit Horizontal Falls. The girls and I…

What a glorious place to wake up in! The sun was beaming, it was warm and the scenery was lovely. I can’t decide what was prettier, seeing the moon rise or seeing the sun rise.We packed up quickly and everyone was in the car by 7.30am, which is quite the miracle for us! Obviously it wasn’t just…

I think everyone was rather exhausted after a huge day yesterday and it was a welcome thought that we didn’t have a deadline for pack up or to get on the road. It’s been great to do a few hours of work and meetings to coincide with Sydney work hours early. The girls were playing…
-
Today was an early start as we heard the road into Purnululu was a rough one, so we were up and out by 7.30am (which is early for our slow lot!). The road really was treacherous, the 53kms to get into the park were going to take 2 hours as there were corrugations, rocks and turns every…
-
Today we were heading out of El Questro and back onto the highway to start making our way to Broome the “easy” way. The girls had a fun time playing with Ivy and that made packing quick & efficient for the adults. It’s been a great stint at El Questro and we will definitely be…
-
The crew was happy and feeling good this morning and everyone was excited to check out some gorges today… We were meant to start and set off early, but it was the weekend and everyone was a bit slow to eat breakfast and get moving, which was fine! The first stop on the way was…
-
This morning started with some much-needed me time with an amazing yoga session overlooking Lake Argyle. Wendy certainly helped reset and start the day on a high note! Then it was pack up time as we got ready to head to El Questro (the start of the Gibb River Road) that we won’t get to…
-
It was a beautiful place fo wake up and Jazzy & I went for a little walk around the grounds. You really can’t go past the view of the lake in the distance from the cliff top, so we sat there for a while enjoying the view. We’ve had some big emotions in the family…
-
Chris was off early to drop the car at the mechanic for 6.30am, whilst the girls and I had a lazy start to the day, with mama enjoying delicious coffee from the cafe onsite. The girls caught up on some homework and I had a couple of meetings (it’s always a relief when the meetings are…
