Another great day out in the out doors with bec who’s keeping up with the adhdabc and the rest of alphabet with a few laughs and giggles we headed up to mount buffalo with a -9 wind chill all day
Beautiful scenery and incredible granite rock formations hope the moss has no nasties on it 🤪

Awesome day out with bec and a big thank you for all the birthday wishes very much appreciated ❤️❤️hope your day was as good as mine

Late start today bec and I went for little walk up to reform hill look out overlooking mount buffalo and Myrtleford managed to find a creek and paned for some yellow stuff
We are in the middle of the autumn drop and the scenery is amazing mountains have a light dusting of snow now as well now sitting by the fire weighing all the gold 🤪 looks like a ripper day to morrow so we’ll check out some water falls and pan for some gem stones around Beechworth area.

Great day out…. Whorouly, Myrtleford and the Ovens River.

So far so good 😱🌧️

Wood cutting

Back for two weeks, but been keeping busy....

Off to Portland yesterday, missing the sea! Grant caught more fish 🎣 in the first hour than the last 3 months! The weather wasn’t something that we are used to though! Great to see Harrison & Ash.

So we have left WA and headed for home. Was a little wet, which we were not used to, so only took two nights to get home. We had traveled 17994 km and spent $6912.25 on petrol, spent $1602 on accommodation and free camped rest. The most we payed for an unpowered site was $65, most were around $50 per night, now to organize 3 months next year!

Cut across to Kalbarri to Geraldton, Mt Magnet to Sandstone, Leonora to Kalgoorlie. Saw lots of wildflowers along the way, Grant fossicked for gold, about the same result as his fishing 😱

Left Coral Bay and headed to Quobba, went to the blow holes and camped near beach. Then headed to Denham, Shark Bay for two nights, had a look at Monkey Mia, headed off to Geraldton with lots of stops on the way. Feeling the cold now.

Headed from ExMouth to Coral Bay for two nights. WOW love Coral Bay, went on two tours, 4wd mbike & snorkel, and then dune buggies, was a bit of fun!

Just a few stray pictures here and there 🤪

Made it to ExMouth, stayed 3 days at Ningaloo Cvan park in ExMouth, then stayed 3 nights at Yardies Homestead. Exmouth, Ningaloo wasn’t what I expected. Thought there would be costal towns.

Flowers are amazing, this is what we have been between Broome and Ex Mouth.

Traveled down south on the west coast of western Australia! 3 nights of free camping along the way. I encountered the midgie, although I have a different name for that mother….

Made it to Broome!
Great place, very different to what I thought. Favs were Cable beach sunset, Wi***es Pearl farm tour, free camping on beach and Matos Brewery

Needed to catch up…. Keep scrolling if u r bored…. So drove the Gibb River Road…. Mixed feelings about this drive, two of the stations were closed, most of the rivers dry. Roadhouse with petrol closed at 3pm 😱….

Spent 7 nights in Kununarra at the Pretlove’s. Learnt how to grade a paw paw! Soo many things we did there. Went to Wyndham , look out, bird hide, Parry’s for lunch and then the Grotto. Mini bungle bungles walks, Kununarra Lake, fished the Ivanhoe crossing, went to Lake Argyle, went to food festival, listened to Grant fixing car 🤬. Went for walk with Missy to Emma’s Gorge waterhole 1.15hrs in, swim, back then lunch! Went out all day in boat on the Ord river, really beautiful part of Australia!

Went to Dundee Beach, was a great spot if you took your boat. Did a jumping croc and Litchfield tour. Had Mary’s Laksa at Parap market, Darwin. And a must is the all you can eat, seafood and steak buffet at Seafood on Cullen overlooking the beach and sunset.

Well 6600km so far zigzagging across the country side with lot of funny s**t I can’t post 😳 have some vids to post of flights and Chasing fish in the creeks off tomorrow 330am on another 800 km rock art tour but I’m helping the tour operator getting to meet some of the Arnhem Land people to learn Some of there life skills should be lots of laughter so stay tuned🤪

Soo yesterday we went on a Rock Art tour, ran by Tim, called Arnhem Land Rock Art Tour, so authentic and amazing! Today we , Grant…. Did some fishing and then we went into town to look around

Well, I haven’t had a lot of service…. We have been busy, went to Katherine Springs, onto Edith Falls. Berry Springs where we stayed in roof top. Across to Humpty Doo, tried their crocs burger, set up camp for 4 or soo nights at Coolilinga, which isn’t far from Darwin…. Today we went to Nightcliff market, Nightcliff Jetty, then followed the coast around, stopping at Dripstone cliff stair case, walked up to the life saving club, then off to Buffalo Creek for a look, then to anaconda and bcf and off to Mindil Beach sunset market. Big day, off to Arnhem Land tomorrow for a cultural and rock art experience!
