We will be living in the caravan parked here at Shanes and Jannets for 5 weeks waiting to move into our new property. Great to be back, really missed you guys, nice to see your smiling faces. Great to see Brian at training last night, first time since Melbourne.I was going to finish the blog today but one of my friends think it shouldn't end till we move into our house. Had an e mail from Mel, he did well at Wyalla last weekend, Peppa just 2 passes off MJ, well done Mel. Maureen and Mel left for home Monday gone, he hopes to be back for training Thursday night. That's all for now, the final chapter will be about the 12th of December. Hugs Andrea

Almost home. We stopped off at Tracey and Marek's home at peaceful Mt Helena for three days. We had a neat time catching up with Jack and baby Sam, Marek put on a free evening show with his spud gun!!!!! Tomorrow night I will most likely finish the blog off, so stay tuned.

















Came across the dog cemetery just out of Hyden, took a few pictures of some of the grave sites of some of the much loved mates.






And yes he want's one!!!!!







Keith and George inside Hippo's Yawn, just a short walk from THE ROCK


















We spent 2 day's at Hyden exploring Wave Rock, just look at the beautiful colours.










Just look at this natural bush at Quagi looks like someones garden, very impressive.











The Pickerings mouse house all set up in the bush at Quagi, beautiful spot.












Here they are trying out their new pop up loo!!!!! at Quagi Beach. A quite little spot right on the ocean, very expensive $4 per night.













The water is just the most beautiful colour at Esperance, we were very impressed with the little Islands and the white, white sand.














We caught up with special friends Sandra and George Pickering at Esperance. They drove all the way from Perth to spend a few days with us. Here we have the surf life savers practising, boy was it cold!!!!!

On our way to Norseman




Yep, bones of dead animals at our camp site, just a little different from Streaky Bay. It was 25 degrees at 6 am, and the flies were everywhere. Couldn't wait to move on, we then drove for 9 hours the temps. got up to 45 degrees and guess what our air con decided to have a rest!!!!


We were warned at Cocklebiddy Road house when filling up with deisel to be wary about 1080 baits in the area, so on with the muzzels, not worth the risk.



We decided to stay the night at a free off road camp along the Nullarbor, here is the 5 star dummy and yes a long drop!!!!!




We left Streaky Bay early to begin the long trek across the Nullarbor. Here we are at the SA WA Border after being checked for fruit, veges etc. It was 37 degrees here.





Looking out at the Jetty at Streaky Bay














This is a replica of a 5 metre White pointer shark caught in 1985 on a 24 kg line at Streakey Bay.

Maureen and Birthday boy Keith way up the top. Maureen had really sore calf muscels next day.


A few words to go with the last pictures on the blog.


The bus pictures are what they call O BARN a bus that runs along on tracks. It was a bit like being on a train, a real hoot, it only took 7 mins to get from Windsor to the town Centre.




The picture of the Rhodens Keith and I having our last supper so to speak was our last day together. We have gone our separate way's, Keith and I on our way home Mel has two more trials next weekend.
This is the view from our caravan window, not bad is it. We arrived at Streaky Bay 7 pm last night.
