Guess where we are going!
Our next trip has been planned for about 18 months now, but finally we can almost smell the avgas at the airport… we’re just a little excited! This occasion apparently required a new suitcase for Ginny, so we paid a visit to our favourite luggage shop Leather and Luggage in Mt Lawley. And what do you know, sheContinue reading “Guess where we are going!”
Exmouth!
We escaped! After an amazingly mild winter so far in Perth, suddenly the Bureau of Meteorology site predicted cold and wet weather so we packed up the caravan and drove due NORTH in search of the sun… Spent some time with Michele and her Mum Audrey in Geraldton. We had one good day of weatherContinue reading “Exmouth!”
Dog-gone!
We recently came across this small but special cemetery near the town of Corrigin in the WA Wheatbelt…. You guessed right – it celebrates the special bond between dogs and their human families. Lots of love and quite a bit of quirkiness has gone into these final resting places, and a local resident has voluntarilyContinue reading “Dog-gone!”
Back on the road…briefly
After 6 months of city dwelling, it was definitely time to get out bush for a few days – but where to go? We opened our West Australian atlas (old-fashioned but the geography doesn’t change much around here!) with the challenge of finding a place that: • neither of us had visited before – quiteContinue reading “Back on the road…briefly”
Beautiful Ieper and the Menin Gate – Belgium
Ieper – or Ypres back in 1918 – was immediately christened as ‘Wipers‘ by Allied soldiers, with even a ‘Wipers Times’ newspaper being written by the British! During the Middle Ages, Ypres was a prosperous Flemish city renown for its textile industry – they were trading linen with England way back in the 14th century. It is located in Belgium north of the SommeContinue reading “Beautiful Ieper and the Menin Gate – Belgium”
World War One Battlefields Tour – Part 2
You may like to refer to our previous blog which focused on Villers Bretonneux and the Australian War Memorial. On our second day tour with Jacques, we took in Mont St Quentin. This was a significant objective for Australian troops to take. It is elevated terrain where the Germans could see and direct artillery and machine gun fireContinue reading “World War One Battlefields Tour – Part 2”
Esperance and the South Coast
Rather than heading directly west to Perth and to continue our coastal trek, we turned south at Norseman as we were keen to explore the southern coast of WA. First stop was Esperance where we stayed at the Pink Lake Caravan Park. The lake is not even vaguely pink – don’t ask! This is aContinue reading “Esperance and the South Coast”
Back in the West
As we all know ‘the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry’! Our plan was to head west from Clare to catch the Wallaroo to Cowell ferry… Only to find that it is suspended due to a downturn in traffic and the SA economy generally. So sad as it’s a great wayContinue reading “Back in the West”
