Sunday 27th February – Woke up early to get in the Great Wall to start our hour and a bit drive to York. Rob and Denise have a piece of land there. Stopped off at Hungry Jacks in Mundaring for brekkie, a breakfast wrap and coffee. Arrived there after lunch but not hungry and breakfast was still sat in the belly. Saw the devastation around from the cyclone there a few weeks ago. It must have been awful sitting there with nowhere to go and seeing it rip through h...

Saturday 26th February – Up early and waited for Dave, Rachel and Liam to come round to start the 2 and a bit hour drive to The Pinnacles, north of Perth. Past some fantastic sights of pure white sand dunes, they look like clouds from a distance. They weren’t even close to the sea. Arrived at the Pinnacles, what a weird place??? Could be a scene from Mars, really good that they let you drive around the site on a 4km premarked drive so you can stop and take c...

Friday 25th February – Dave picked us up at 10am to go to Yanchep Lagoon for a swim/ snorkel and sunbath. We got stung by jellyfish whilst snorkelling, nothing bad, just like a nettle sting. Ade and Dave continued for a bit more but I chickened out. Had a bit of a sunbath for 45 mins as that was plenty of time to catch a tan at 38 degrees. Drove to the local shop for a BLT and drove to Yanchep National Park to have lunch. Lake was empty, that’s how dry it is...

24th February – the big 40!!!!. All up early to make our way to Cottesloe to the Naked Fig for breakfast. Met up at Dave’s and convoyed down. Very nice restaurant and ho boy a huge cooked breakfast. Judy opened her presents and cards before we ate and Ade opened his after. Well worth the drive through rush hour to get there. Temp in the day is rising, had a short walk to settle the food down. Went back to Dave’s for a drink and had alook through his hol s...

23rd February – Ghosts, need I say more, and a frog in the bath at 1am in the morning. Packed up all the food and cleaned the house ready for our departure. Left the house at about 8.30 and had a walk around Bussleton as the shops opened. Had a walk down the river and back into town. Continued to Bunbury for a walk around, not much there really, very built up. Had a coffee and a bit of pecan pie to start us off. Drove down to the industrial area to get back ont...
