Walgett

When everyone left in the morning the family was able to have a hot bath on their own before breakfast it was really refreshing and most pleasant. And then it was off for more dirt driving to Walgett for Mothers Day. We arrived at Walgett for Mothers day lunch yesterday where we had a lovely...

Big Things #22

This beast is on the road between Coral Bay and Exmouth and I think there is actually a reason for it being there, as in the building behind it has something to do with prawns. Not sure what, though. Still, I reckon the one in Ballina would kick this ones arse in a fight.

West Coast Mission: Day 11

It was exactly a year ago today that I landed in Australia, was fetched from the airport by John and Dom at 6.45am and proceeded to drag a traumatised and shattered Emma round Brisbane so we could buy SIM cards, open bank accounts and laugh in the face of jetlag. Oh come on, its not my fault she...

Day 28 - Home comforts in Oz, PHEW!!

G'day to ya Poms! Well I arrived in Perth at 12.45am on May 5th, very happy to be met by my sis, Simon (her husband), my niece Abbie and nephew Joel. They emmigrated from England about a year ago, so it was high time for a catch up! Slept extremely well that night, lovely house, such luxury...

On the Way

We have spent the last two nights out of Mobile telephone access in the Warrenbungle State Forest. It was beautiful, very similar to the Grampians as it is a Volcanic rock towering out of very flat land. The camping area had showers and toilets - really great and we went on bush walks and...

West Coast Mission: Day 9

The track to Red Bluff is one of those tracks that cause worried passengers to lean over and ask, "You do have a spare tyre, right?" Of course I have a spare tyre, I even checked it in Perth to make sure it was round and would remain so when stuck to the vehicle. I neglected to mention that I...

West Coast Mission: Day 8: Big Things #21

300km after too much vodka and four hours sleep plus we couldn't pull over for a nap because as soon as you stopped the flies took up residence in your facial orifices. It's a fucking good job I'm easily amused by large, phallic objects like the Big Banana, Carnarvan or today would have been a...

Last few days in Oz and back with the rellies

May 9 We had a lazy morning just chilling out walking along the seafront, trying to soak up the last of the sunshine and warmth. We headed to the Airport and caught the flight back to Sydney. We caught the train back to Tahmoor where Erin picked us up, took us back to theirs and fed us...

Western Plains

We arrived in Dubbo about 2.30pm yesterday after travelling from West Wyalong. We found a caravan park close to the city which allowed us to shower and refresh. I found the library late last night but ran out of time to update the blog. We had a nice evening in Dubbo and enjoyed vegetable...

West Coast Mission: Day 7

It was about 6.45am when I woke the others up for Dolphin O' Clock, we were here for the dolphins and damnit, I wasn't going to let a mere thumping headache and stomach churning waves of nausea stop us. Kitted out with a camera and the grim determination not to collapse before breakfast we made...
