Hey guys!

How are you all? Thought i have better write one last entry for Yallingup as Rob and I are leaving for our voyage across the desert land tomorrow! Going to really miss Yallingup though - met some great people, had some fun times and especially going to miss Vicki and Pete!

So tomorrow we're heading up to Perth first for the Australia day weekend before heading back down South and then across the dreaded 4500km nothingness of the Nullarbor Plain! Slightly Scared! Van's been serviced etc so hopefully we've done enough to get us to Melbourne.Aus day in Perth should be good - big outdoor party with fireworks etc, plus it gives us a couple of days to see bit more of Perth. Last few days have been great - Rob and I both finished at our work and have had few days of doing nothing but lie on the sunny beach! There have also been a few nights out with a couple me met. Been to see more of the wineries in the region, met a guy who manages one - gave us a little tour and some very good discount. Drove down South for a day and visited some of the other towns. Walpole was great - they have a beautiful national park area and we walked amongst the biggest trees ive ever seen, they also had the cutest baby kangeroos that were being handreared! Don't think i ever mentioned we took at trip to Mandurah to see a guy called Kevin 'bloody' Wilson? Ask Stuart! He's an aussie version of Roy Chubby Brown - extremely rude but absolutely hilarious! Oh and Vicki and Pete just got a new puppy the other day! JacK Russel! Decided to call it Bert (after Rob after i was winding him up one day!) 'Het Burt!'

I've so much to do before we leave tomorrow, don't even know how all our stuff is going to fit into our little van!

Anyway, hope all is well, stay in touch with all the news! Won't have access to the internet as often after tonight so may take a while for me to reply, still got the phone though if you want to text me.

Take Care
