After a wonderful night’s sleep in our sauna, the heater kept us very warm all night, we had a bit of a sleep in until 6.30am. After brekkie, we were on the road by 9am. Our first stop was at the Tree Top Walk at the Valley of the Giants, which was about 10 minutes before Walpole. We all went on the tree top walk, which was an engineering marvel as they weren’t allowed to use concrete, cranes or helicopter to construct it. It was all made off site, disabled, ...

William fell out of bed in the middle of last night. We heard him crying and when Neil shone the torch down to him, he couldn’t find him. He traced the crying to under his bed, he had fallen in between the bed and the wall. Neil had to move everything from under the bed to get him out and found his little face. He then came into bed with us, but kept kicking Kelley in the face so she got into his bed. Very comfy! We were up early again and took a while to pack...

It rained all night last night. We had to pack up in the rain, lucky Will was keeping himself amused in the car playing. Otherwise he would’ve been filthy from the mud. We were off at about 8.30am and had a slow drive to Esperance due to the conditions. We passed the longest train we’ve ever seen – it had a total of 4 engines and felt like we were passing it for a few minutes. William was upset when it ended. Luckily we saw a couple more along the way. It w...

We were up early this morning at 6am. William once again came into bed with us. Not surprisingly though after we woke him up at 2am after discovering a mouse eating our bread in the tent. We were driving out at about 8am; we had to cover 530 kms today. We drove through a few small towns like Cocklebiddy and Caiguna, where we gained another 45 mins. This time difference is getting confusing. Lucky we are on track now and are now 2 hours behind Qld. We had anoth...

Woke up this morning after the coldest night we’ve had. William came into bed with us after falling into the suitcase next to the bed; however we still managed to sleep in until 7.30am. After brekkie and a half hour search for one of Ben’s toys that William had thrown into a tree, we were on the road at about 9.30am. We had our biggest day of driving, ended up doing around 680kms. We came through the Nullarbor National Park and had lunch at the Nullarbor road...
