Katherine in Kalbarri

Yesterday we woke to a beautiful sunrise at Coronation Beach. If coming this way it is an ideal spot to spend a few days and only $15 a night. The sunset was spectacular. Oliver had his first attempt at fishing with a bit of style too.
We arrived in Kalbarri yesterday and enjoyed the coastal views on the way in. We are staying at a 350000 acre homestead on the Murchison river. A beautiful spot where we can have a campfire too.
We did a bit of exploring in the afternoon and enjoyed some great views.
More exploring to be done today !!

Day12 we left Perth and arrived in Cervantes. We drove out to Nambung National Park and saw millions and millions of big and small pinnacles. Some of them even looked like houses with letter boxes.
The caravan park we are staying at has a fun playground,right next to the water. It's been lots of fun to play on.

Katherine in Perth without a car...

We made it safely to Perth by tow truck on Saturday and our car was towed Monday morning to the 4wd workshop.
We are staying with my cousin and her family. They found us a new car- not sure it will get us any further than our one. (see below).
The house we are staying in is total boy heaven- Oliver is in his element with nerf guns and a raised cubby you can tie ropes off. This morning the kids have found the dress-up box...
Hoping to have use of the car to explore soon.

Mum and I travelled in the front of a tow truck to Kalgoorlie (with car and caravan on the back- the others in a borrowed BMW) and we are having a great time! We finally got to Kalgoorlie and got out at a caravan park to set up. The 4WD was loaded down from the tow truck and the BMW was loaded onto the truck to go back to Norseman. Tomorrow we are getting on a larger tow truck (that will fit all 6 of us) for the exciting 8 hour drive to Perth!

Day 6 in Norseman... Still!

Have been traveling well and enjoyed a night at Cactus beach on the 26th... Apparently one of the best surfing beaches in the country.'Nasty' Nigel greeted us and in the morning showed his commitment to the surf with a "yahoo!" as he ran towards the waves. We didn't surf but did enjoy finding lots coral and shells.
29/6- We are now sitting in the Norseman BP. Last night we filled up with petrol and as we pulled out the car stopped working and would not go into gear. It looks like the transmission has gone and may take some time to fix. So we are waiting to hear from RACV with a $6 packet of spicy fruit biscuits. It's not quite the adventure we had planned!!

One day to go...

Emily in Melbourne...
There is still some debate as to whether we will get away in the morning... Sleeping on floor tonight-hope we sleep. I hope we all wake up in a good mood in the morning!

Pre-trip headaches...

Katherine @ home:
Nine days to go until we pull out of the drive way and we are looking forward to it... in the meantime we are surrounded by boxes and lots of bits and pieces that don't quite fit into boxes or can't be categorised.

At least now I can tick off the "set up blog" on the TO DO: list.
