Camper vanning!!
Well you may have noticed our blog entrie have been a bit sparse of late!! We are currently winging our way up the wet coast, through small town after small town and having varied success getting access to internet. The West cost is rugged, windy beautiful and of course remote - Steph is coping with the solitude and enforced relaxation.....just!!!!
Wildlife has been amazing - we have seen almost all there is to see - a family of emus on the road, kangaroos, lizard, sharks, snakes, spiders.
Monkey Mia was fantastic, feeding and being around wild dolphins is pretty special. We also went to the 'apparent' most atmospheric restaurant in WA last night called the old pearler and enjoyed some great seafood - have to say not sure if it beats carradale prawns though!
We have stopped to refuel, restock and use the internet in crazy carnarvon before heading a bit north to Coral bay where we hope to drop down another gear and actually stay in the one place for quite a few days to snorkel at Ningaloo etc.
Hope you are all well, and we'll be back in civilisation after the 19th and will be able to dedicate a bit more time to our travel tale and photos then.

p.s. the roads here are soooooo long it is really easy to drive but after dark youhave to watch out for kangaroos that jump out in front of you. Unfortunately a lot are killed - we are planning a roadkill barbecue if things get tight

Hello Hello! Finally managed to sit down and read your blog, sounds as if you are having the time of your lives! We're planning on doing an elephant trek so when we're back in Thailand in about a months time will try and find the place you went to as it sounded fantastic. We're currently in Cambodia, a stunning country so will bore you with chat bout that on email soon.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see you both in New Zealand!! Enjoy Western Australia,
Love from Mr and Mrs C x x
Hey you two, just been catching up with Adrienne, she tells me you catchin up with them soon... Its obviously the place to be! Defo beats Falkirk Stadium on a wild freezing November night!
ReplyDeleteWe enjoying your chat, keep on bloggin!
Hey Sam and Emma,
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear from you! I am sure you two will be having a fab time too - albeit doing it with a bit more style than us - we have been labelled "flashpackers" a few times though!!!
Are you heading for WA? If so, defintely spend time in Margaret River - we only had 2/3 days but could have done with a week and Ningaloo/Cape Range National Park is stunning for snorkelling/diving - a long old drive to get there but its worth it.
Will be great to catch up in NZ over a few vinos.
