Today we got up in our minging hostel (literally so dirty and the bathrooms were outside in a shack!!- wouldn't recommend staying at Main Beach Backpackers!!) and promptly rang the hostel down the road and booked rooms for tommorrow and Friday! We then headed down to the beach, after a few days of rain, the sun was out in full force so we borrowed some body boards and headed down there after having a little wander round the town. After a while basking in the s...

We approched it through a very impressive moat and when we entered the size was also very impressive. Luckily we got there just in time for the free guided tour which was really informative and interesting. You can even stand on the roof as it was designed that way so that the people could...

Today was a long day, we got up early and went to the Queen Victoria Markets where we bought sum souveniers and presents and hopped on the free tourist bus around town.

We then met Phil and Becky at Flinders Street Staion and we ran through the rain to Nandos for lunch! ...

We then proceeded on our journey down the west coast, stopping off at Carnavan to go to the supermarket and a few roadhouses on the way. We got to Dongara about 5pm , where we were staying in a haunted disused convent! Was an amazing building but very odd! We then had dinner in the lodge, we both had some really nice pizzas made out of pitta bread with pesto and pine nuts. The owner also gave...
