We woke at 6.30am ready for a big day. We each have an overnight bag, plus Dad has a golf bag, plus a backpack for carryon luggage, so we had to stuff all of our belongings as best we could into any space available in any bag, which we managed quite well including stuffed toys! We left the caravan park at 8am, earlier than expected, and made our way back to Bullsbrook where the van is as we are also leaving the car there. We had a nice breakfast stop at Ginge...

With some successful present-buying achieved, we headed to Karrinyup Shopping Centre to Boost Juice, which Renee & Eamon have been absolutely desperate for. Quickly back to the van to prepare for Dad to take the car t...

It didn't disappoint, and we spent over an hour walking around and playing hide-&-seek among the limestone rock formations in the desert. The walk was about 1km; we didn't drive, as we had the van - it was great fun, and Mum & Dad were hard to find sometimes! We had a good lo...
