Our Wicked Walkabout

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…

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…

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…

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,…

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…

Yesterday we visited Rottnest Island. A very interesting island off the west coast of Australia, and home to a unique macropod, the Quokka. (That’s a marsupial with large feet) Quokka’s are about the size of a cat, and although are generally nocturnal, they are very bold on Rottnest (or Rotto as locals call it) There…
