What an amazing and somewhat agonising day. We got up and all headed out before breakfast. Boys in one car, girls in the other. We took both cars so Billy and Rich could leave when they'd had enough. We drove staight to Kings Park. We parked right at the top with every intention of getting the tour bus down the hill and into the city. Turns out there's only 1 bus an hour and we'd just bloody missed it! The boys, namely Fella, said it wasnt that far so we might as...

Today has been tremendous. We've been out all day, just the two of us. We are now at Whitfords beach. Nick has just woken up and gone wandering off for a cigarette so I am totally alone. I am on a blanket in a little cubby hole in the sand dunes on the fringe the beach. The wind is light, the sun is still warm even thoughts getting later, and the only sound is that of the sea, and the pages of my journal flapping. After breakfast we got ready for our little adv...

It's now 11.40 and I'm in bed. So much for an early night. So picking up where we left off.

I had a cotton dress thrown over my swimmers and for the first time since we arrived I actually felt underdressed! The houses were like mansions and there were yachts parked wher...

It was an early start for the boys yesterday. Rich had booked a racing day thing for them both that started at 8. It meant they had to leave at 7 am. No fear that anyone would be late though as nick was awake at 5.15. He said he was so excited he couldnt sleep. And evidentally, nor can I! He's awake so thats that. I tried in vain to convince him to just lay down and watch tele but no, James Hunt is raring to go! He decides he'll go and make a cuppa and wait. Quie...

Brekko at Dome for the four of us. A lovely luxurious sunday morning treat. from there we headed off to Caversham Wildlife Park. I was like a child I was so excited. We saw some stunning birds, Koalsa and I even fed that Kangaroos! There were some tiny babies which were lovely but there were some full size ones which are far less lovely. One was big it almost had a six pack! The mum ones had the joeys in their pouches and more than once I saw a little leg poking ...
