Coronation Beach, north of Geraldton, WA

We are back in the warmer weather... its so lovely to be back in shorts and t-shirts and hanging out in the sun....

Here are some pics from Coronation Beach, which is just north of Geraldton... Beautiful spot, great for west coast sunsets... We had some play sessions on the beach, fishing and science experiments in the sand (thanks to the Morris family for the new science kits xxx) ....

The Pinnacles, Cervantes, WA

Dad and the three boys were very pleased to back on their adventure around Australia and headed north out of Perth, stopping off at the Pinnacles.

No one quite knows how the Pinnacles were formed. Lucas and Leo thought they were great fun for hiding behind and Frankie decided that one or two could be improved a little and so he added his own touch.....


Adding some sand ....



Peek-a-booooo

What are these things anyway.....

Lets have a closer look around the base...

Perth - WA

It's been a while since you've had an update.... I've been working, based in Perth, hence the delayed travel diary.

We've had six long and wet weeks in Perth, we rented a couple of houses to get out of the rain... (it's been the wettest winter in Perth in years). Our first night in the cottage at Freo was such a luxury, kitchen, big couch, gas heater, washing up with running hot water, a toilet and bathroom.... we LOVED it! 

Ross also managed some homeschooling, regular visits to the local libraries and museums, family fun days, Naidoc Day, shadow-alphabet fun, home-made knitting needles.... We also had a from Mark T and a second visit from Zed (on his way to Kalgoolie), here are some pics to follow.....
