The trip has begun

Hi everyone,
In case you dont know the Cowlings and Patchings have just started off on their trip around Australia by road. On Friday the 16th Keith and Andrea took off in their Rodeo Ute towing a brand new Jayco 20' caravan to Geraldton for the weekend. Andrea with her two New Zealand Heading dogs Smudge and Spice competed in the Geraldton trials Saturday and Sunday doing very well indeed. Brian and Julie finally left for Geraldton on Sunday in a Toyota Hi Ace van towing their brand new camper trailer with their two Border Collies Oscar and Evie. The Cowlings didn't quite make it to the Trials as Brian was still building the trailer right up to 5 minutes before departure. He still hasn't finished it!

Thanks to Glem and Jackie of Geraldton for your hospitality on Sunday night it was a great way to start off the holdiay. A few shots of wiskey and some laughs did the trick. Thanks to our Doggie friends for the send off.

We arrived in Denham yesterday a pretty little seaside town just south of Monkey Mia. Its a magncifent day the sky and ocean very blue. Andrea and Brian have gone off to the local park to excerise the dogs and later we are going to check out Monkey Mia, enjoy a nice cappacinco and buy some fresh fish for tea. (I know we should be catching it but we dont have any bait) giggle.

Well that was our first attempt at blogging. Hope you are not too bored. We should get more creative along the way.Bye for now
