I seem to recall that when there's a cricket test match on in Perth, the hot weather kicks in - we'll that's how today was. As we'd had issues with the power supply to our bus at the Water Ski Park we hadn't been able to use the air conditioner and today was going to be hotter than the last couple which were 33 and 36 degrees respectively and quite warm overnight. Because WA chooses NOT to have daylight saving the sun rises at some ridiculou...

Manjimup turned on a stunning day for us on Tuesday which allowed Kimbo to wash the bus (yes wash the bus) and also the trailer. We don't think the trailer has ever been washed and we've had it for over 7 years, how disgraceful.   By the time he was finished he needed a good lie down and a cup of tea. However we had no time for that.   I was saddened that my purple ugg boots hadn't arrived by the time we left. Anyone who knows me well, knows that...

We were up early after our wonderful night in Shannon National Park so that we could have get the 50km under our belt heading to Manjimup out of the way so that Kimbo could talk to Chris about his new job. Much to our horror he wasn't required to work until the following Tuesday 5th November which coincidentally was also Melbourne Cup Day......not today (28th October) as he was told. Hope this isn't a bad omen. However it gave us a week to find a lovel...

After a relatively quiet night we were surprised to see lots of work trucks parked in the parking bay in front of us, it was Sunday after all so couldn't understand why there were so many about, but for them smoko time at 8.15am!!!!This country is all so familiar, tall trees, love it and of course lots of rivers and creeks, everything is so green. It wasn't the warmest of days only 24 degrees and drizzly but fine for travelling.We put in a really big day...
