Life’s a Beach

Ah a quicker than anticipated blog this week as we have done so much (or more specifically we have free internet today!).

Who lives in a van like this? 

Since our last blog we have spent some time settling into our new home – didn’t take long in view of it’s size but we thought you might like a closer look at campervan living:

‘Inside lounge/bedroom – kitchen conveniently located!’

 ‘ Dining Room - Please note dinner options!’

‘Lounge Outside Option’

Thanks to all for your suggestions as to a suitable name for our vehicle and we have decided to go with that of our youngest blogger, George  Marriott so from now on the van will be affectionately known as Victor. Judges decision is final and for all our older followers shouting 'fix', that’s not polite and Santa won’t come!

Life’s a Beach

From the title of this submission you may have guessed that we have done little more than visit beaches this week and we are quickly settling into beach life.

‘A pity the beaches are so crowded but we are managing to find somewhere to place our towels’.

We are well off the beaten track at the moment, writing this from 'Horrocks' (yes that is its name!) 300 miles up the coast from Perth which has a population of only 46 and that’s when they are all home!

‘The Oz version of a cold drink at the beach’

  

We leave tomorrow to set off further up the west coast visiting Kalbarri – where we hope to feed Pelicans, canoe along canyons and walk in the National Park, Coral Bay – the Ningaloo Reef starts here and we should be able to access directly from the beach so snorkels are at the ready! Before finally hitting Exmouth for Christmas, again hopefully having direct access to the Reef. 

We are still planning our route for after Christmas but are likely to head south once more as going further north will just get hotter and all the good wineries are in the south.  Will need a little something to welcome in the New Year.

We will, of course, try and keep you up-dated along the way but don’t forget you only have 16 shopping days left to Christmas!!

Nearly forgot Koala Korner:

Photo entitled – “I love my tree”

A bit of a disaster now however as there are a couple of clouds around  - Oh well it just means we have to go for our second swim of the day a little early.

Don’t feel sorry for us though as the further we travel North the hotter it gets and we are reliably informed the best beaches are still to come – we will obviously share our findings with you!

Love

David and Dawn xx
