Day 26: A fairly ordinary day in a beautiful extraordinary spot of this lovely country. Slept really well cause I was drugged - Phenergan for the mozzie bites, why oh why am I so sensitive to them. Raised pus filled lumps and itchy as anything. The drugs are leftovers from my time in Prosepine Hospital last year and work really well to knock me out, always a good thing my other half may say. We were awoken by the voice of a mother next door talking to her so...

Day24 and 25: Well yesterday was a non-starter after two days of walking and swimming in the beautiful Fern Pool of Karijini National Park. My knees gave out and my body just shut down and the temps were in the high 30's so in our van we did stay. Really hot night and the mossies attacked also, Wally kept hitting at them but all they did was come to me and eat me. Large blotchy bites cover my extremities AND very itchy, so very pleasant. So, on today we had ...

Day 22 and 23: Oh we were so exhausted yesterday following our tour. Gone for 11 hours and many torturous steps later we were back to Gina's comfy confines.

We were picked up by Trevor, our guide, also a young dad and his 9 year old daughter started our adventure. Firstly we had to drive 100kms to pick up another two couples, q...

Day 21: Eight AM and we were up and out of Newman. Not such a long drive today (278 kms) , but we were awake, the day was beautiful and we were packed and off. The landscape changed dramatically for the better with lovely hills made by Mother Nature and even mountains all covered with soft green clusters of grasses. Would love to know the name of them but ehhhh not a worry. I have been expecting wildflowers but they are at the end of their season apparently ...

Day 20: What a delightfully quiet evening although we do hear a gentle hum of traffic from the mines but it is constant so no problem at all. We have divested the bed of our quilt, being very brave as we have been up to 2 quilts and a blanket up to a week ago. Our tour commenced at 9 and we were on a bus for the next hour and half within the mine. Great tour guide, very informative about all the goings on around the mine site. Massive again and a bit sad re...
