The drive to Bridgetown was initially slowed by a heavy vehicle being transported on a low loader and then roadworks. It was an opportunity to have a look at the scenery along the way. It is reasonably flat country until you get to a place called Kirup. We stoppped here for lunch as this place is noted for it's home made pies. We just about boug...
A quick update on our travels: we've just arrived back in Perth after a couple of days on the road with THE VAN. We took her down south, visiting areas in and around Bunbury, Margaret River and Denmark. And she behaved beautifully! * First night = a camp site (to test the plugs, 3-way fridge, construct an awning, etc.); * Second night = a clearn...

I was leaving Brian & Angela's today for about a week as I had a tour organised seeing the South West of Western Australia.

Anyhow I dumped my bags in the room and decided to head into ...
You know, after all the mad panic of the first 3 weeks to get sorted out with the 'Big Three' - a house, a car and a job, I've decided that a fair amount of 'foot removal from pedal' is owed and the last week or so I've done nothing earth-shattering, just enjoyed the 'fruits of my labours' and taken stock of what I've managed to sort out since I...
WE had just reached the outskirts of the Maori village when we heard the sounds of drums and the hoarse cry of a conch shell. The professor had been chosen as chief of his group of 46 fellow visitors in honor of it being his birthday, Feb. 18. There were four other chiefs chosen by their groups and they stood in a line with the rest if the group...
I finally meet Gina after nearly a year! We went to Freo.. Cotts beach.. took a really really long walk along the beach so that we could talk and catch up. All that talk about guys was good. She looks so good now and has lost so much weight. I, on the other hand, gained so much after dating Indrit. *sigh* when can I return to my old weight again...
