Hi Everyone,
A friend help me set this blog site up and up to now have not been sure what to place on,
so thought Id invite you all on journey around Australia and see it throught our eyes. Mainly through photos and to hear of some of the challenges we have been through. So come along and join us,
we will go back to the start.

In July 2008 Bob and I sold up everything and bought a nice new caravan to take off on a trip of a life time, travelling this beautiful country of Australia. So on the 29th  July we left our family and friends in Perth and travelled south to a small town of Manjimup, it was raining and cold, but still felt excited to be finally on the road.
One of our first challenges was having to sell everything, what do we let go and what do we keep.
Going from a 3 bedroom home to a caravan there is alot you are unable to take. But when look at most of it only material objects. And looking back now its amazing what thing we do collect over the year to create a home.
Next day we moved on and as we were leaving the managers gave a bag of potatoes, and we thought whoa we are doing the right thing and we just had to trust that we were going to be looked after.

 

                                  This is Williams Bay a beatiful spot and one of my favorite.

Once again we had a challenge , the challenge of saying bye to family and friends, but they are alwaysin our heart and since we left have caught up them again. But the other side is as one door close another opens and we have met and made many new friends along the way.

 

This Pallinup Bridge where stopped for lunch after leaving Albany

This is one of those places that we first met and made some wonderful friends. A couple travelling around in their car, from Melbourne. We caught up again with them a little further down the track and we still keep intouch after five years.

We will continue to Bremer Bay next week. Hope you enjoy.


Bremer Bay here come. Arriving in Bremer Bay we book into the caravan park, to catch up with washing and stock up with food. Next day we headed out to Point Ann which is where the whales bring calves to as it is a very shelted bay. We spent quite a bit of time here watching the whales folic and play with their young even seeing a albino calf. It was beautiful to see them in there own enviroment enjoying themselves.

moving on to the sand dunes where the sand is so white, and the view from the top was great.

By now we really felt like some good exercise, especially after driving so far, and in front of us was west mt Barren so decided to climb to the top, what a hike, as you can see by the photo you can just see our car parked at the bottom

Wow we made it and it really was worth it the view was fantastic, with a beautiful clear day we could see for miles

 

 

Dog BeachFishery BaySo with a slow crawl back down mountain,and thinking how lucky we are to be able to this great country. Anyway we were both feeling like it was time to have something to eat. We find a great parking area overlooking trigalo beach. We set up our small table and sat down to a cracker & cheese lunch. While sitting there we saw a amazing sight 6 dolphins surfing the waves below. Today was Bobs birthday so he had a great day and just to see the dolphins enjoying the surf in their own  enviroment.In around Bremer Bay there are also some wonderful beach which we called into on the way but to the caravan. Next stop is Hopetoun.
