We had to set our alarm for the first time this trip. We needed to be on the road early to meet the other club members at a park down the highway, as we were driving down to Busselton for the night. We had the alarm set for 6, but it was still dark so didn’t get up til 6.30am. We somehow packed up all we needed and were driving out just before 8am. We didn’t exactly know where we were meeting everyone, but we ended up finding them in park off the Forrest High...

After brekkie the boys were off to wash the cars. There was a car wash at the BP down the road. A couple of guys in a red HSV Ute were there and quickly came over to have a look at the cars and ended up helping chamois the green car. They noticed the tyres were Maxxis brand and as it turned out they were Maxxis tyre dealers. They told the boys to drop round to their store in the next suburb and they would give them free beach chairs, so if we get time we will try...

We had a very nice sleep in this morning until 7.30am. It was such a nice feeling knowing we didn’t have to pack up the camper today. We had a leisurely breakfast and put our washing on. It is also nice to be able to hang our washing on the line and not having to pay from dryers, which can be quite expensive. The girls were off to the shops this morning, before the boys took the cars to get serviced. There are so many shopping centres around; it seems ever subu...

We had another sleep in this morning courtesy of our heater. We were woken up by William singing ‘Baa Baa Black Sheep’. We were up and having brekkie while the boys rode their bikes around – the previous afternoon they had found a rather steep hill to ride down – the problem was there was a speed bump at the bottom which would’ve sent him flying over the handle bars. He tried it once, but Kelley intercepted him with a tackle. This morning however he man...

We awoke this morning after having a restless night and being woken early by the very noisy traffic, well Kelley did; Neil was a little bit seedy from a few too many ciders with Steven… After brekkie, we went to the office to see if we could get our money back. The lady acted shocked that they were in such poor condition, trying to tell us that the cleaners had been the previous day and her husband had fixed all the leaks. Obviously our standards are different ...
