I'm pooped! It's Saturday night and we've just finished an exhausting 3 day session of making CEBs (Compressed Earth Blocks). We're on a new WWOOFing gig in Chidlow WA, which is about 50km east of Perth. Our wonderful tour of the South Western coast of Australia came to an end when the rains came. It was bound to happen. We got as far east as Bremer Bay after stops in Denmark (very cute town and surrounding area) and Albany (less cute and crappy weather not to m...

7am: wake-up time. We spent the night wild camping and have to be up before the ranger comes around 8 am: this seems quite a relaxed spot and we decide to have breakfast right there 9 am: wash last nights and breakfast dishes (we had home-made popcorn at the drive-in movie theatre) and have another coffee. Enjoy the view overlooking the ocean and read a bit 10 am: do some yoga right by the ocean 12 pm: head into town, check the internet in local video s...

Hi everyone, We've just finished our first WWOOFing experience. That stands for "Willing Workers On Organic Farms" and it is a global organization.

We're back at our home base. We had to come back to Perth to go to the Jack Johnson concert (which was mellow and great and everything we expected it to be) and to drop our friend Kathrin off at the airport. Max is in the shop today getting a 4000 point inspection which turned up the need for 4 new shocks (which we knew as it corners slightly worse than a grocery cart with a gimp wheel) and some new front brakes so we've blown our budget yet again, but we'll be h...

Hi ho folks, It's been a while since we've updated. We're on the road now and, as you can see, roughing it. They have free Barbie's everywhere. At this particular beach we watched some great surf, showered at the beachside showers, grilled up our dinner on the free BBQ, had our picnic, and then drove off to a quiet nearby beach to spend the night. Life is pretty darned good. We're travelling with our friend Kathrin at the moment. 3 of us sleeping abreast i...
