After a long day driving, unfortunately not the greatest way to spend Fathers Day for Ben, we arrived in Esperance and were very relieved, it looked beautiful, a good spot to spend a couple of relaxing days. We arrived in time to set up while the boys had a play at the old-school park (exactly what we used to play on as kids! So cool), then walk along the path around the bay and out along the pier to watch the sun set. The next day we woke when we woke then got o...

After leaving Perth we travelled south to Bunbury stopping there for lunch. It looked like a great spot. We travelled further south but a little east into the southern forests, the countryside becoming increasingly hilly and bushy with clearings for cattle and sheep farms, gorgeous, green and lush. We travelled through a gorgeous little town called Nannup which we would love to come back to one day. There were old pubs and cottages and the streets were lined with...

Our week in Perth was long awaited and we were all extremely excited to be arriving for a visit with my brother, Wud/Mat, his beautifully round (pregnant) wife Gem, and their very gorgeous dog George. We were also excited to be living in a house again, what a treat! The boys were especially chuffed to have their own rooms and special beds, plus little goodie bags and gifts left for them by Nannette from her last visit. We had the house to ourselves for a few hour...

We worked our way slowly back to the...

Even though our weather was dreadful in Kalbarri, we loved the place! It is such a pretty, peaceful town. We had strong winds and scuds of rain for two days but we got out and about when we could. We went for walks and played at the parks and beach. We drove through the beautiful National park looking at all the different cliff faces, they were stunning. On our way out of Kalbarri we drove into a Principality in Australia! I didn't even know there was one! It's c...
