I had to return the keys for the campsite at 8.30 which was practically afternoon given the godforsaken hour I used to waking up at, so I had a bit of a chill this morning (in more than one sense!). I cracked on with reading some more of my frightfully intellectual Jackie Collins novel, showered and got ready for the day. After returning the keys I headed into town to fuel up and callk into the visitor centre to decide on the day's excursion. After much mmming an...

Pinch punch... WINE TOUR DAY!! I was obviously far too eager to start the day as I woke up at 4.30am (most likely due to the anticipation of all the wine I was going to consume), but I managed to doze until the more suitable time of 5.30am when I couldn't lie in bed any longer. Upped and showered and even pushed the boat out and applied some make up. Feeling much more ladylike than I had in a while I headed to town for some pre-wine tour nourishment (and a good ...

So after falling asleep so quickly after dinner last night, I awoke in a haze of confusion. Where's the car? Why am I not sweating? Coming to, I realised it was 5am, spoke to D, did some more washing, had another shower and sorted out the car then watched TV. So a really productive morning... I set off for Margs at about 12.30, and the drive took about 3 and a half hours. The scenery was just so completely different to up north it was hard to believe I was in th...

Strangely woke in a sweat despite the chilly sea air - guessing my body is just accustomed to waking me in such a manner. Walked around outside for a while to cool off, then went back to sleep until 5.20am. Was too cold for a shower so just a brush of teeth and then off I went. Stopped in Lancelin for fuel and coffee, squealed to halt to avoid mowing down some kangaroos bouncing across the round, and was in Rockingham by 9am! Mitch and Amy were out on the boat c...

Really hard to sleep last night as it was still so hot. I had thought that it would be cooler 800km south but obviously I was incorrect as usual. Hopefully that would be the last night in that heat as Geraldton (where I was aiming for) should be a lot cooler. Anyway, woke up at 11 thinking it was at least 3am and that I would just start getting ready slowly until the sun came up when I could recommence my journey, only to look at the clock and be sorely disappoin...
