So lucky we did a big day trip out yesterday when the weather was fine as this morning dawned cold and wet. Had a lazy morning and in the afternoon the others took advantage of the rain holding off to drive to John Forrest National Park to check out the waterfall, the dam and the local wildlife. Cadbury and I stayed behind (can't take dogs to national parks) and enjoyed some quiet time. The others returned from their afternoon out cold and wet but buoyant and ha...

Big day out today to take advantage of sunny weather. We headed north of Perth along the coast all the way to Nambung National Park and the Pinnacles. Although we had been there the previous week we knew this would make a great family day trip, along with a stop at Lancelin to go sand boarding.

We were just in time to see a marvelous WA sunset in Cottesloe...

Pottered around the caravan and house today while Gadi went to get new tyres for the car (two of which are being replaced after the wrong PSI tyres were put on in Esperance). In the afternoon we went out to Westfield Shopping Centre to buy a few bits and pieces and stopped to watch the sunset on Cottesloe Beach. Night night xx
