Broome
July 18, 2024 in Australia ⋅ ☀️ 16 °C
Another beautiful day. I was going to play tennis this morning but it was very windy at 8 am. Three friends and I then decided to play Pickleball inside.... away from the wind. It was fun as they are all learning!!! This afternoon, we drove to Gantheaume Point to take this video for you, Jill..
It's a lovely beach and doesn't have the waves that Cable Beach has. I'm a bit fearful of waves.Read more
Traveler Looks like a lovely day. We have had some nice days here but also some very yukky days. Lots of rain which is good, clears the air and still being farmers at heart know how important rain is. Kevin got his all clear from the specialist yesterday, so that is another tick. Love to you all. xx

Farewell dear Jill
July 26, 2024 in Australia ⋅ 🌙 16 °C
Yesterday, my dear friend of 48 years sadly lost her fight with ovarian cancer. She fought it so bravely, and I had so much admiration for her. We had a lovely day with her and her husband Roger in Kapunda SA. with Jason and Rebecca.
That was in May this year, and I know that Jill really enjoyed reading my footprints on this last trip, as John and I travelled through half of Australia.
RIP Jill.Read more
TravelerThat's very sad for you. Pam, such a lovely lady and lifelong friendship love and hugs 💕

Last week in Broome
August 26, 2024 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 18 °C
We had a 39-degree day today. After exercising early, it was back in the caravan to read and nod off in the air-conditioning until a late lunch. This arvo we watched Netflix for a couple of hours and then sat outside with our dinner and watched a bit of TV.
Last Saturday night, we said farewell to a few friends who are heading home soon. We enjoyed a beautiful dinner at the Bali Hai.
This morning, we said, "See you at home" to Jen and Doug and Sue and Ron.Read more
Traveler Looks great guys💕💕🍾🍾

Farewell to Broome
August 31, 2024 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
Our last day in wonderful Broome. All packed up this morning, and then we drove to Gantheaume this afternoon for a last walk on the beach and a lovely swim. We had 90 per cent humidity today and a 33-degree day. The ocean was quite warm.
Back at the park, we said our farewells to a few remaining friends and went to the fishing club for dinner. It was a lovely evening with a gentle breeze blowing.
We'll probably be on the road fairly early tomorrow . We're usually awake at 5.30 am. and whilst we only have under 300 kms to drive to Eighty Mile Beach, by the time we have brekkie and refuel at Roebuck Roadhouse, we will probably arrive there at about 10.30 am.Read more
Traveler He must set up that outfit each day 😜.

Eighty Mile Beach
September 1, 2024 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
Well, after a very hot day to get here, we're sitting outside having a lovely candlelit dinner, and it's 28 degrees. Beautiful evening with a gentle breeze blowing.
We were just about to pull into Sandfire Roadhouse when I asked John what the outside temperature was. 40 degrees!!!! I couldn't believe it, as we were travelling in "The Luxury " of our air-conditioned D-Max.
We settled in to the caravan park, put the air-conditioning on, and that's basically where we stayed.
We've booked here for 3 nights, but tomorrow looks as though it's going to be another hot 37°.
I'm really not complaining! Hopefully, John will throw a line in tomorrow! We need some fish!!!!!Read more

Eighty Mile Beach to Mt Robinson
September 4, 2024 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C
It was another very hot day yesterday with a heavy sea fog that came in about 10 am and lifted at about 2 pm. ( John went fishing again, in the fog!)

We left 80 Mile at 5.45 am. this morning.
Not quite as hot today, 38°....but fine in the car.
We stopped for brekkie and coffee at Pardoo and then on to Pt Hedland for fuel.
We were expecting roadworks but didn't see any. There were lots and lots of trucks though, most travelling to Hedland.
Lunch at Albert Toglanini lookout and then on to Mt Robinson for our overnighter. Still bl....hot.
Hopefully, it will be cooler tomorrow as we head to Newman and then Meekatharra or thereabouts.Read more
Traveler It was very hot & windy here.

Mount Robinson to Cue.
September 5, 2024 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 10 °C
We left Mt Robinson around 7 a.m. this morning, and I certainly took heed of the warning of dingoes in the area. Thank goodness we didn't see any. It's quite spectacular scenery around these parts.
I spoke too soon about not seeing any roadworks !!!!
This morning, I can't tell you how many new overtaking lanes they were making, plus new shoulders on the sides of the road. These are essential for all the huge trucks carrying their loads of iron ore to Pt Hedland. The works were nearly finished, so we weren't held up for too long. Stopped at Newman for fuel, then Meekatharra, before arriving in Cue around 4.30pm.
We're staying overnight here but can't believe the minimum temp is going to be 7°.
I'm not sure where we'll go tomorrow. Maybe cut across to see more wildflowers in Mullewa or Mingenew.
Sorry, I thought I took more photos!Read more
Traveler Highly recommend seeing wildflowers-photos coming through on FB are stunning 😍

Cue to Moora.
September 7, 2024 in Australia ⋅ 🌙 14 °C
We left Cue RV park, and it was very cold as forecast. We decided to drive on through Meekatharra, where we stopped for fuel. After passing Mt Magnet, we started seeing wildflowers everywhere, and it was so beautiful. Carpets of differing colours. We had decided to go straight to Moora rather than taking the Mullawa, Mingenew route, where most of the wildflowers are. The fields of yellow canola were also so stunning, every which way we looked!
We arrived in Moora at about 4 pm and set up to watch the footy. What a fantastic game that was. Today, I washed all the bedding, so that's one job I don't have to do when we get home.
We're looking forward to being home again after 5 mths away and catching up with friends and family. We have had a wonderful holiday and it's been good to record our travels, and photos on "Penguins". These I will always be able to refer to in the future on this app.
I do hope you've enjoyed our travels and shared in some of this wonderful country that we are fortunate enough to live in.Read more
