    Quobba

    11. toukokuuta, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 30 °C

    Today was lovely and relaxing. Started with a beach walk then headed for a drive to Blowholes and a swim at the Aquarium.
    Anne has started to hold Peppa when in the ocean so now whenever Anne is in the water Pep is on top of her. Today she somehow managed to climb on Anne's back, like a piggy back ride. Wish I had a photo!
    We were sitting doing a jigsaw after the beach and Graham hopped in the car to drive to the shower block. As he was driving along he could hear a dog barking and thought he recognised the bark. Yep it was Ruby chasing the car down the track. She sat in the car while he showered then drove back to camp. None of us had noticed she was missing! But at least she got some exercise.
    Pete had a haircut with a view. Check out the photo.
    The boys went fishing off the cliffs today and Graham caught a speckled emperor. He was pretty pleased with himself. Pete caught Nemo but returned him to his home.
    The fish was good eating and we were pleased the boys made it home as four people have died there.
    There's a full moon on one side of camp and a magnificent sunset on the other.    Lue lisää

    Last day at Quobba

    13. toukokuuta, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

    Today:
    . Woke to the full moon setting over the ocean
    . Ate a fly
    . Saw whales out at sea from our camp-site
    . Had a snorkel at The Aquarium. My favourite snorkel so far. Feel like you could reach out and touch the fish. Biggest fish so far as well - looked like a seafood smorgasbord.
    . Had an icecream for lunch (we are on holidays)
    . Took a drive out to Red Bluff. The view here is spectacular. It is the middle of bum f*** nowhere, but there is a day spa. For whom? Looked like there were only about a dozen people camped. Also no dogs allowed. And apparently there is a cafe but we didn't find that either. Probably won't return next time we are in this neck of the woods, but it was a good adventure.
    . Back to camp. Crows have knocked over Graham's fly trap and shat on the tables and chairs. Thanks for that.    Lue lisää

    Denham

    15. toukokuuta, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    Here we are in Denham. It is such a beautiful little town with lots to see and do. Had an interesting drive here with a detour to Carnarvon vet for Ruby, who had been vomiting all night, and many trips to the toilet for Peter, who had gone out in solidarity for Ruby. Julie jumped in the driver's seat to tow the van and caught up to us in record time. You go girl. Spent a lazy day checking out the shops and being stopped by every second person to pat the dogs. The girls have all been so very well behaved.
    We were walking along the main street heading to our favourite destination (bakery) when a Dad emu and his two chicks wandered down the main street. They kept crossing over the road and back without a care in the world, not caring about the traffic they were holding up. We had to keep the dogs away as one of the locals said the dad will kill them with his sharp claws if he gets close enough.
    Somehow we keep ending up at the local pub. It is such a great location overlooking the ocean and watching the boats arrive in town. One Powerball!    Lue lisää

    Shark Bay

    16. toukokuuta, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    Today was a great day, full of fun, nature and a bit of culture (depending on your definition).
    Got up at sunrise and headed to Monkey Mia for the dolphin experience. A couple of dolphins made an appearance and it was interesting to hear about them. The crowds all left, we waited 15 minutes and then six dolphins turned up. It was fabulous. We stood on the jetty with the dogs right in front of where the dolphins were swimming. The dogs were absolutely mesmerised. It was a bargain for us - we didn't have to pay for our children to see the dolphins.
    Guess where we went next? Bakery for breakfast. While there Graham bumped into a brother of an Aboriginal copper he used to work with an arranged for a catchup later. More to come.
    We spent a lazy few hours in and out of the shops, helping support the local community. We popped into the museum and one of Anne's old netball friends was there. We can't take her anywhere.
    Next stop was Little Lagoon, where Graham had planned to meet up with old mate. The girls had a play in the water and I got the sup board out. Tried to stand - fell off. Graham jumped on and of course straight up. Peter jumped on and of course straight up. I had another go and I was up! Pretty wobbly and it was ugly but I stood up.
    And now for our cultural experience. Graham's friend David turned up with some of his relations. They stayed in the car but David came to have a chat and share some king browns. It was an interesting chat. There was quite a bit of language (Anne was cringing). He also tried to get Anne and Julie to go swimming with him. But he had some great yarns about his life and was incredibly funny. Was definitely a learning experience.
    We are loving Denham - such a beautiful town and easy to walk everywhere.    Lue lisää

    Final day in Denham

    18. toukokuuta, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    Sadly we are getting closer to heading home, but still enjoying our stay. We are very much relaxing today after a busy day yesterday. We are getting a lot of walking in, which is good for people and dogs. Going to miss our sunrise beach walks, but not as much as the girls.
    Not many photos as all of us are absolutely useless at taking them.
    Walked into town for breakfast then headed to Eagle Bluff viewing platform. Saw a tiny little snake in the carpark and a large school of taylor in the ocean but not much else. Lovely view though.
    From there we went to the Aquarium. Very informative and dogs are allowed. Our favourite was the clown fish that when they are fed will take the food and feed their anenome, which is their source of safety.
    Ruby jumped up to look in the tank to check out the fish, and the fish jumped up to check out the dog. Quick detour to Thong Shack on the way home.
    Anne and Stevie have been playing a game of finders keepers with a camp chair. The minute Anne is up, Stevie claims ownership.
    This is my second stay in Denham and I will be back!    Lue lisää

    Milligan Island

    20. toukokuuta, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 23 °C

    Sadly, today is the final day of our holiday. We kept talking about a group photo with us and the dogs but we are all useless. This has been such a lovely relaxing holiday. We are sad it has come to an end. Lots of different experiences and adventures. Has been a great success.
    Spent the night in Northampton after leaving Denham. Nice little caravan park but right on the highway, with trucks going past all night.
    This was a great pick for our final stay. We are once again off grid and with our feet in the ocean.
    Will miss our sunrise beach walks with the dogs.
    Signing off, until the next adventure.    Lue lisää
