Hi All,

YAY we are back in WA!!!!

We sadly left Normanville last Wednesday and a huge thankyou to Deb, Pete and Toni for everything, we had a ball, lots of laughs and lots of drinks, so good to catch up.

We stopped at Cowell overnight and then got to Coffin bay (sooo nice) on Thursday afternoon and stayed for 2 nights.  Found a great beach in the National Park and stayed there all day and had the whole beach to ourselves!!
At night there were so many kangaroos in the caravan park and hundreds of 28's (boy they make a lot of noise).

Saturday we stayed at Venus Bay for 2 nights and we were so looking forward to it as we called in there on our way through and it was hot and a hive of activity with the fishing boats in and unloading and kids and boats and people fishing and swimming.  BUT the weather had other ideas.........it was sooooooo windy and quite cool we couldn't really do anything...........Andrew fished off the jetty a few times and caught half a dozen fish.  We had to get up at 4am to take the awning down as it was so windy and our table blew away hahaha.

We left Monday morning and stayed at Eucla overnight and back on WA time so we were wide awake before 6am so off we went again and got all the way to Esperance...............what a long day!!!!

AND I have cooked the last 2 nights!!!!!!!!!!!!what the hell is going on, I will have to put a stop to that hahahahaha.

Today we went to Cape Le Grande National Park to all the bays and then climbed Frenchmans Peak.  I thought I would be able to do it but I got over half way up and froze and had to sit and wait til Andrew came down.  I was so scared and nearly crying I ended up on my hands and knees climbing, so mad at myself though cos I really wanted to do it:(

Went past my friend Dawn's house, but she is in Perth on holidays:(  Bugger!!!!! I miss her.......

Not long now and we get to see everyone, can't wait to see my kids and grandies......oh how we miss them♥♥

Hi Everyone,

Hope you all had a great Australia Day, we were on Kangaroo Island and it is absolutely beautiful.  We took the car over on the ferry on Tuesday morning and came back on Thursday night (bit rougher and I was shitting myself !!!!!) 

We are off to Victor Harbour again today as it's so nice there and the wind has stopped again today so we will make the most of it.  Andrew is just washing the car (only 4 weeks old and soooo dirty poor thing) we have already done 5500 km in it!

We are leaving Normanville prob on Wednesday as it is Deb's birthday on Tuesday so will have a few drinkies for that ( so maybe late Wednesday hahahaha)  We are going to the Links Lady bay golf club for dinner tomorrow night for her b'day.

Looks like everyone had a great time at Tracey and Marks for Australia Day..............was that a few too many Bundy's Dad?  Made me miss you all more♥ 

I have put a few pics of Kangaroo Island on so hope you enjoy them.  Better go as Andrew has finished the car and is coming to make bacon and eggs for brekky..............I am the luckiest girl alive he is soooo good to me.

Bye for now Love us.

Well I finally managed to find where to write on here again ( don't know what happened) hahahahahaha.  We arrived in normanville on Wednesday afternoon and caught up with Andrew's cousins Debbie and Peter and their daughter Toni and  Joanne and Tony.  Went over for dinner (they manage the caravan park here) and had a great night ..............how could it not be great with 3 Toni's (Tony's) hehe.

What a great place they have here it's right on the beach with a little river running through it.  We went to Victor Harbour and that is just gorgeous, we will go back there again another day before we leave here.  We went on the steam train and the horse pulled tram to Granite Island, checked out one of the pubs ..of course.  Yesterday we went into the city, and Rundle mall which is so full of shops it a great place.  Had a look at the Skycity Casino for a bit it's ok but small.

Then went to Glenelg and WOW love it there it was packed on the beach with volleyball and the jetty and they have this place called the Beach House which has huge water slides, mini golf, bumper boats and a big amusement centre it was great.

Ok off now for a drive to check out where the ferry for Kangaroo Island goes as we are going there for a few days.  The wind has finally stopped after all this time so goining to the beach for a swim later as it's 36 today.  And it might get rid of our hangovers after dinner with Deb, Pete and Toni at the local pub and then Sambuca shots (i'm sure I said NO but 4 shots later hahahahaha) and then I WON $450 on the pokies WOOHOO!!

Ok then, miss you all heaps,

love Us xxxxx

Hello,

Port Lincoln is a fantastic place and we will come back here on our way home too for a while.  We went 4 wheel driving yesterday morning!!!  But the track went nowhere so had to turn around on the beach and go back again but it was good fun.

In the afternoon we went on a boat cruise and swam with the huge Tuna fish.  Yes I even got a wetsuit on, booties, gloves, goggles and snorkel, how friggin hilarious was that!!!!!  As I was coming to get out of the water the guy started throwing the bait fish at me and all the Tuna kept coming and swimming at me Andrew thought that was great as he was already out on the deck.......shit!!

We will be in Normanville tomorrow at the Jetty Caravan Park for a week or 2 as Andrew's cousin manages the park, so we will base ourselves there when we go to Kangaroo Island and Victor Harbour.

Bye all xxx

Hello,
Just a quickie.
We are now in Port Lincoln for 3 nights.  Saw some beautiful little towns on the way here, especially Venus Bay, absolutely gorgeous.
Went on a scenic cliff drive on a gravel road with the caravan!!!!!!!!!!  I was a bit scared haha but I found the thong god!!!!!
The caravan park we are staying in has its own jetty and there are pelicans everywhere:)  My favourites!   Andrew is still having no luck catching anything, but plenty of time yet..............

Popped a few pics on!

 Streaky bay just before 9pm just beautiful.

 Fishing at Sceale Bay.

 The Great Australian Bight.

 Us on Streaky Bay jetty (there was no one to take our pic) but Dawn and Trudi will like this one:)

 Jes tell Kalani this is where the kids at Smokey bay have to do their swimming lessons!

 YAY the car has been on the beach.

 Dad this is where we were the first time I spoke to you this morning, the edge of a cliff, amazing view.

 Bowing to the thong gods hahahahaha!

Sam, Dad and Jes this is where I was sitting when I phoned you tonight and Dad is on the jetty (no fish)!!!!

Night everyone love the Apprentice Nomads xx

Hi there,

We have been in Streaky Bay for the last couple of days and what a fantastic little town.  The caravan park is great, scenery is beautiful and every town we have stopped in there is a long jetty!!!  We went driving today to Sceales (pronounced scales) Bay where you can take your caravan down on the beach and stay for as long as you like and it is just an honour box for payment.  The car got it's 1st taste of 4 wheel driving as we went fishing on a couple of beaches.
Yesterday Andrew was in the water looking for Razor fish that are shaped like a fan sort of thing and you crush the shell up and use as burley and the meat tastes like scallops............but we will never know cos he didn't get any hahahaha.
Andrew cooked all the dinner in the van last night and what do you know NO smoke alarms went off!!!! Looks like he better do all the cooking then:)
It has been quite hot here today and Andrew has got the backs of his knees burnt and all the very tops of my legs are burnt...ouch!!!   And before you say anything yes we had cream on but I put it on when I still had my shorts on.
It's 8pm and we have just finished dinner and are going for a walk as the sun doesn't set til just before 9pm........it's great!
Tomorrow we are off to Port Lincoln unless we find a nice spot in between to stay!

We are having such a great time, but I miss my kids and grandkids so I will have another wine and I will be fine hehe.            These are for Kalani, Alanis and Zavier.  Love Nanny and Grandad XXXXXXXXXXX

Bye now love Us xx

Hi All,
We have been at Ceduna for a couple of days and it is so windy and we even had jumpers on yesterday!!!!  And bloody Andrew..............yes I found Con Air!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
We went fishing yesterday and Andrew caught 3 Trumpet fish, shit fish haha but at least he caught something!
Daylight saving is great, still light at 9pm, WA sucks!! 
I should be packing up to go to Streaky Bay today buuuuuttttt what's the rush hahahahahaha.
Not sure if i'm gonna want to go back to work.............Andrew...Andrew...did you hear me!!!!!!!!!!!
We will be in Streaky Bay (about 100k's further on from Ceduna) for a couple of days and not sure if we will get reception.
Well I better go over to the camp kitchen and do the dishes seeing as Andrew cooked brekky! (I cooked toast the other morning and set the smoke alarm in the van of twice LOL!!!  Won't be trying that again hahaha.

Ok bye for now love the Apprentice Nomads hehe  xx

Hi Everyone,

We left Kalgoorlie at 12.30pm on Monday afternoon and arrived at Fraser Range Station at about 5pm, a great little camp in the middle of nowhere!  Left there at 6am this morning and drove to WA/SA border Village where we are spending the night.  Thought we might have got stuck on the way as there is a fire between Madura and Mundrabilla but the smoke was ok so they didn't close the road.
Nothing to see but bushes and nothing haha.

Tomorrow we are staying at the Shelley beach caravan Park in Ceduna for a couple of days.

Limited internet so having probs putting pics up will try again tomorrow.

Miss you, love us xx

Evening All,

We have had a relaxing day today.  Went to the museum which was really good and then went to lunch at Monty's, great burgers!
We then had to wash the thick red mud from the wheels and the red dust from yesterday on the car, (we want it to look new for a bit longer hahaha).

Andrew bought his Webber Q today and it fits perfect in the front box of the caravan.  The car is having it's 1st service tomorrow as we have done over 1500 k's already so we will be leaving Kalgoorlie as soon as it's finished and heading about 100 k's east of Norseman at Fraser Range Station for the night.

Sam can you show Nanny how to get on here and also see if Tamara knows how, thanks xx
