Girls, Girls, Girls

The day after our return from Bruny Island I had a surgical repair of a hammer toe which had become quite bothersome. After a night in hospital I hobbled around with a wire protruding out the end of the toe for 3 weeks. Surprisingly it actually caused me very little discomfort. Having the wire removed [...]

Homeward bound!

Uh oh…the day has finally come. The day we return home…that is if we can get the motorhome to drive onto the ferry. It keeps turning towards WA!!! We have the day to fill in before going onboard at about 7pm tonight. But both feeling rather tired and flat so have booked into the caravan [...]

Busy Adelaide

Sorry it has been so long but far from being a relaxing time in Adelaide, it has been very hectic, but satisfying.   Now where were we…oh yes, Streaky Bay. Had a good trip to Adelaide, staying overnight at a beautiful campground in the Flinders Ranges…wished we could have had longer there. Arrived in Adelaide [...]

Traversing The Nullarbor

OK, I am still alive…just been rather busy saying goodbye to grandkids.   We are now sitting in Streaky Bay, having traversed The infamous Nullarbor yet again. Bronte and Bec’s last Sunday and sadly farewelled Kara and Jada…am sure Kara believes we will turn up at her house very soon again! Wish we could. Then [...]

And still masses of orchids!

Snuggled up inside today so time for an update. Woke this morning to a massive frost and when I turned the heater on it read 1 degree!!!! Has now warmed up a bit but am sure keeping the fire stoked up while I babysit Jett today as Mel has gone back to work after her [...]

Travel Travel Travel

OK…photos have to wait while I do some blogging and let you all know that we are still alive. This wildflowering is such busy business!! Apart from catching up with grandchildren.   I left off in Kalbarri where we were about to head out again after wildflowers. Went out from Kalbarri and into the National [...]

Endless Wildflowers

Now at Kalbarri sitting here all rugged up in the very cold weather…oh dear, had to get the flannelette pjs out again last night. The cold wind and cloud greeted us yesterday morning…not a happy sight!!   And our trip just continues to have amazing highlights. Carnarvon was a real haven for us where we [...]

Another day in Paradise!

Life is just so tough! Sitting here in beautiful warm weather, having just had freshly caught fish for lunch. Umm, let’s see…what do I have to do this afternoon? Absolutely nothing, except chat with all the other retirees in the caravan park. Ok, here are some more flower photos.

More amazing Australia

No, I didn’t get stuck down at the bottom of the waterfall!! Just been so busy travelling, photographing wildflowers and enjoying the scenery. Anyway, here we are at Carnarvon for some much needed R&R…had booked in for 2 nights but have added another 2 to that.   Anyway, back to Karijini. Yes, we did make [...]
