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…

Long, and lonely drive
Today we drove from Esperance over to Albany… a long, lonely drive (except for road trains) mostly scruffy trees, large expanses of former wheat fields, some cows… and bumpy road… nothing to take a picture of. Except that we drove off the map… But before we left the Esperance area, we did take time to…

The great outback…
Well, kinda. We travelled from Hyden to Esperance. From the “outback” to the coast. The word of the day was “road- train” Long straight stretches. And Rain… We arrived at Esperance and explored the Esplanade, and as the temperature dropped, with the rain, we just stayed in and watched TV for the evening

Definitely the road less travelled
Today we headed out to Hyden, Western Australia a tiny town with one major claim to fame. Wave Rock. There is not much between Perth and Hyden, so I looked to see what I could find. I found a place called “Wandering” So, of course, we had to go there! The landscape was very dry,…

Perth, a thoughtful city..
It’s Sunday! So we headed into Perth to go to the cathedral for choral Eucharist. A lovely service, and we also went to the cuppa after and met some people. I personally find it’s helpful to really know the city if you meet people at church and chat. We also had a great tour of…
