Tuesday 15th July 2014 We woke up at 5 am and got showered and dressed and ate breakfast ready for our pick up at 6:30. Our tour guide, Derek, from Groovy Grape came and picked us up. We had short drive round to pick up the remaining passengers before we were off on the road to our first stop of the tour, Wilmington. The majority of people fell asleep, so did we. It's hard to stay awake when you are travelling the long distances that we were about to...

We got some lunch and paid for Brenton to say thanks for everything!...

The train left late (as normal apparently) good job we weren't planning on getting the connecting bus because as we would have missed it by miles! The train journey was pre...

Saturday 8th March - 17th April 2014 I returned back to work till the end of April, which I was sad to leave. They gave me a good sending off and another kangaroo cuddley toy to take home with me! So the weather has started to change into winter, which I'm not too happy about. I think our summer in Perth has ruined every summer for the rest of my life! The winter here feels very much the same back at home during autumn. Stu has spent most of his time tryin...
