Ausschlafen, frühstücken, im Dolphin Discovery Center Cappuccino trinken und vergebens auf Delfine warten, einkaufen, Sonne geniessen und ...
Bunbury
... , the wine was beautiful and I ended up with a few bottles as "souveniers"...lol We left Busselton and headed to Bunbury. Found a great camping spot called Belvedere Beach about 30kms on the Perth side of Bunbury. There is wildlife everywhere ...
The day where we finally updated our blog!
... a deserted little beach in Rockingham, and chilled out for a few hours, then dropped by her house, got the paperwork, and drove through to Bunbury, as it was too dark to get to Margaret River by then. So, that brings us up to date to today! We stayed at ...
Looking down at Bunbury
Spent 2 days in the regional centre of Bunbury, which is certainly what it is. Caravan Park was OK though location was pretty ordinary. Coast drive and Lookout were cool, and besides these did little else. Perhaps a bit too much like a big city for us, so ...
Blimey thats a large erection
... we ate pretty much within a day...boy they were yummy and they have been added to my Australian highlights list. Our next stop was Bunbury which was horrible so we drove in and out again, only stopping for about 5 minutes, then it was onto Busselton which ...
Bucket list
We thought we would put up a list on things we wanted to do and see that way we had some kind of itinery to look at. We also think it will be great to review once the trip is over to see how many things we got in. So I guess we should start at the start ...
DAY 121 –SATURDAY 23RD OCTOBER – BUNBU
... the races were on and they decided not to have the tour today. After booking in for tomorrow we began the drive back to Bunbury but had a couple of stops planned along the way. The first stop was Wellington Dam where they are doing repairs to the dam ...
Mein Haus, meine Yacht…
... als Wochenendausflugsziel. An langen Wochenenden bevölkern 300'000 Menschen Mandurah - das Fünffache der sesshaften Bevölkerung. In Bunbury geht es geerdeter zu und her, obwohl auch hier an der Küste stellenweise beneidenswerte Prachtshäuser stehen. ...
Dolphins are a wild animal
... being confused with the other elite sports people in town. Must have been the pies and pastries we were carrying. Camp was setup in Bunbury and an early night was in order with the expectation of a big day ahead playing with the dolphins. We took the risk ...
Working days so far!
... there was also a group of guys from the UK and one of them was from Glasgow, as usual he asked me what I was doing in Australia, and I pointed out that I was a waitress – as I was wearing the uniform and pinny and had a tray in my hand, and all his ...

XXL Format
... Eintrittspreises haben wir es bei einem Rundgang auf dem Steg belassen. Eine halbstündige Fahrt später trafen wir in Bunbury ein, die mit rund 55'000 Einwohnern die zweitgrösste Stadt Westaustraliens ist. Sie liegt gerade noch 180 km südlich von ...
Heisse Weihnachten
Die grosse Bescherung blieb zwar heute aus, aber wir wollen uns nicht beschweren – das seit Tagen anhaltende, grossartige Wetter ist Geschenk genug. Der stetige Wind und die trockene Luft sorgen zudem für ein beinahe transpirationsfreies ...
Lückenglück
Mit etwas Glück fanden wir auf Anhieb einen Parkplatz im Stadtzentrum. Die Parkplatzauswahl wird trotz den verhältnismässig moderaten Dimensionen unseres Campervans gegenüber einem PW massiv geschmälert. Die Fahrzeughöhe von 2,7 Meter schliesst ...
Beautiful Bunbury
... "The Gleeson’s" as he used to know a family called the Gleeson’s. Some gnomes are from overseas and all around Australia. It’s a great little place to visit. We reluctantly leave and head over to the “King Jarrah” tree which ...
Wellenbad
Ist wirklich bald Weihnachten? Bei der aktuellen Hitzewelle stellt sich uns eine akute, mentale Blockade in den Weg, die jeglichen Anflug von Weihnachtsstimmung im Keim zu ersticken scheint. Heilig Abend kennen die Australier übrigens nicht. Somit ist ...
Missing sunsets
... into our hostel we walked down to the beach to watch our first Westren Australian sunset. We did not realize however, that the sunsets in Australia last a total of 30 seconds and, we missed it. It was a nice night though and a beautiful beach so we walked ...
Gateway to the South-west
... vegie stand to provide us with dinner ingredients – good u-turn!! Checked in to Discovery caravan park (the only one in Bunbury that allows dogs) to find at reception a sign saying only lap dogs under 10kg permitted. I managed to persuade them to ...
Händchen halten
... , die Prognosen bewahrheiten sich. Im Big Swamp Wildlife Park, der sich nur 5 km von unserem Campingplatz mitten in Bunbury befindet, liessen wir uns von den Kängurus etwas die Hände halten. Dies geschah selbstverständlich nicht aus liebevoller ...
DAY 123 –MONDAY 25TH OCTOBER – BUNBURY
... mined here is a soft coal and breaks up really easily. They use it in the power stations. Once we finished the tour we headed back to Bunbury to pick up the hire car and drop it back to AVIS. From there we went to BCF, Dick Smith and then back to the van ...
A day of sight seeing
Leaving Yallingup we headed north towards Bunbury via Busselton - we had heard they had the longest jetty in Australia so we had to go and see it!! It was 1.8km out into the ocean - a nice short little expedition today!! So we had a coffee and ...
Planes,trains and automobiles
I thought I'd put a few ideas together on how we are going to get to and from airports and the like. We are trying to minimize cost where we can and max anise our own independence. Sure it would be easy just to grab a Cab and sometimes It will be ...
Busselton to Bunbury
... thousand bug splats on the front of the van so we decided it was just easier to wash the outside of the van in a car wash. Bunbury also has a Dolphin Discovery centre which we went to but weren't fortunate enough to see any dolphins in the sea that day! ...
A night out in Bunbury
... 5 am and jade wanted to just go to Busselton as it was so much cheaper in a taxi but the bars there shut at about 1am. Bunbury won and on the way we had a nice taxi driver called Pete, Poppy phoned the manager of the taxi company to moan about being miss ...
Home again!
... a hundred nuclear reactors. No one seems to be worried about them and they are clean and very efficient - maybe Australia could have a closer look!!!!!! Communications are superb with the whole country having high speed internet access, which is carried ...
New Year's and trip to Bunbury
... heating during the Australian summer time? Who would've thought it! We then chilled out on top of a hill overlooking the whole of Bunbury, this at dusk was beautiful. However, we didn't stop for long because the mozzies were biting the hell out of us! ...
We hit the road
It was a long 2 weeks... cleaning up and storing your life into a 6 x 4 shed is harder than we first thought. We were lucky to get a great price for the Eastman house and also a temporary spot for our little Asha (cat) to stay. The new owners love cats ...
