Not too far from Pemberton are some sand dunes that are just begging to be climbed. We picked a lovely afternoon for visit. We’ve been loving the weather since we left Perth, it’s felt like autumn while we are still in summer. We expected to be in the heat a lot longer than this so it’s been a welcome change. First we had a quick look at the lake and pondered this jetty. There was a nearby sign warning against … Read More
On our way to Denmark, WA we passed this huge blue marron at the side of the road. A Big Thing that we needed to see! During our stay in Denmark we made a trip to Walpole and made sure to stop on the way back for a closer inspection. It’s such a beautiful blue, as is the real thing! The Big Marron is located outside of Old Kent River Wines and although we didn’t stop in I’ve read lovely … Read More
Part one is here. I have no idea what this little guy was but he was the cutest thing. We nicknamed him the Lorax, we can’t be the only ones to come up with that name. Then we found the lemurs and we spent forever watching them. There was a young one who was very playful and he kept picking on his older sibling (it looked to small to be dad) while mum looked on. They played and wrestled and … Read More

There were some leaves around to feed them but they weren’t real keen since they’d … Read More
Last year when we visited Bruny Island we made sure to visit South Bruny National Park to see the Cape Bruny Lighthouse. When we visited it was cold and windy. There was a lighthouse museum so I opted to stay there out of the cold while Dad braved the path for a better look. When the lighthouse was first lit in 1838 it was Australia’s fourth lighthouse. It’s now the country’s second oldest lighthouse according to the Parks & … Read More
In Western Australia there are heaps of outdoor cinemas. It seems that every town has one. We found out that in Perth there was a good old-fashioned drive-in theatre that often plays family movies during school holidays. We’d been comtemplating seeing the new Star Wars movie while in Perth but it was going to be pricey and we weren’t sure what to do about the younger two, it looked like Sean would be taking just the older boys. We were … Read More
