Another city, another Bike race
I’m starting to think that Bikes and Australians go together. The other thing, biking on the sidewalk is a thing here… so weird! And frankly annoying! We headed into Adelaide for Church this morning, because we had been in yesterday we were prepared for the Bike race, and the impact on our day. We had…

The City of Churches
And we did not go in to a single one! I know, so not like us. We took the train into town, we were once again pleased with the public transport system in this country, we did go to the mall to buy a metro card, but as it turns out, you could buy tickets…

Splunk!
This morning we awoke, chilly again. But again thankful for our electric blanket. The sun was shining… and the cabin was…. Surrounded in poo????? Apparently the Roos came for a visit en mass last night… and we missed it. We heard the host’s dogs barking… apparently at the Roos. An opportunity missed. We loaded up…

The rain did not dampen our spirits.
Just our hair. We awoke to a grey cold rainy day. Although I am not a fan of sleeping on electric blankets. Some days you appreciate the warmth. We had a slow morning, turned on the heat, and enjoyed a hearty breakfast before hitting the road for our explorations. We decided to go to Carpenters…

Not everyday is epic
Some days are just life, and living it. The past few days we have been slow, and honestly, a bit lazy. You can’t actually keep up this pace without a break once in a while. And… Laundry needed doing. The sky’s opened. And it rained. We had a plane to catch. Red Eye, and naps…

Still no Penguins.
We went to Penguin Island today, the challenge is, like much of the wildlife here (and in Canada to be honest) they prefer the evening. The Penguins hunt during the day, and sleep at night, which is when they come ashore. And, well, we don’t travel at night.. so we have yet to see most…

Fremantle aka Freo
Not sure why they need to shorten Names and an O around here. It appears that Aussies like their own little “slang” for things. All good… we do that in Canada too. (Two-four, double double, Toronnah, for example) Today we were going to go to the Zoo.. but it was literally a Zoo there… we…

Sandy Shores
We left Bunbury, and headed back towards Perth on Saturday. We drove along the shore, seeing the beaches and a flock of Swans And then drove along a fairly dull drive, into Perth. We were able to check into our AirBnB for 10 am, so we wanted to get there, settle in and do some…

Big beautiful beach
We left our wonderful little train car, and headed back to the coast, to Bunbury. First we had to say goodbye to our Emu Friends Then we headed to our one stop for the day; the Green Pools and Elephant rocks. Wow. Lovely place, and everyone from the town of Denmark goes there too. Swimming…

Albany, Perth’s Playground
Or Is it bigger than a Shepherd’s hut? After a so,so breakfast at our motel, we hit the road to explore Albany and area, as we had an AirBnb booked for the night only an hour up the road. First we headed downtown, and drove the waterfront. The title pic was taken on the Anzac…
