Albany - Part 2 So we've come back to sunny (actually one of Australia's least sunny spots!) Albany to do a few weeks light labour in exchange for free rent, free internet and few other bits, over Christmas and New Year...it feels good to be somewhere nice with nice people knowing that we'll definately be here over the festive period and that we are going to be here for a while and so we can unpack our bags properly too! What's even better is that we are getting...

Fremantle We arrived in Fremantle late afternoon and treated ourselves to a very rare dinner out at a restaurant! Fremantle (Freo) has a big cafe culture and there are loads of restaurants too. It's a really nice town with a nice vibe about it and we spent our first day walking around and getting orientated.

From he...

We then drove on to Dunsborough for lunch, which we eat on Yallingup beach - both Dunsborough and Bunbury looked like nice seaside towns. A...

Perth - part 1 After being on the road the previous couple of days we enjoyed some chill out time when we arrived in Perth. We knew that we had quite a bit of time in /around Perth so we didn't need to rush around which was nice, but old habits die hard and we spent just 2 days/3 nights in Perth before going on to do another tour of the south-west corner of Oz - called "Southern Curl"! But before we embarked on our next journey we did manage to see s...
