Edge of the Forest Margaret River

... really great as it had lots of spectacular flora and fauna. This included being dived bombed by two very talkative little birds, with very impressive song voices. It's funny how when you live in a country you tend to overlook it's treasures! To illustrate this I saw a massive green and purple parrot in the car park of IGA. I was transfixed, but everyone else just looked at me like I was a bit simple!<br><br>Then back to Prevelly for my packed lunch. The beach ...

... What was I going to shout in my driving tourettes style fashion now? I was stuck and it was quiet and I was a bit bored. So I started singing. Loudly, proudly, if a little badly. The car is the only place other that the shower that tone deaf enthusiastic singers should be allowed to indulge their passion. So I did. Thank your lucky stars I haven't figured out how to blog my recorded voice....

... spend all yesterday on a trip that was composed of 80% driving with a bunch of fairly boring old people. we did get to take a cave tour, have bbq lunch at a micro brewery, go wine tasting, and check out the longest jetty in the southern hemisphere. dont get me wrong, it was all really cool, just more than alittle rushed for time. at least we were sitting next to a really funny italian girl, so we had some good laughs the day before was epic. Sean and i ...

... dinner. I also enclose a pic of Roger and the last beef slaughter (we do cows one at a time) - taken from a fair distance - so if the content disturbs you then a) become vegetarian and b) concentrate on the lovely Australian cloudscape in the background. I had to put a few pics of Xmas with the Melvilles in - it's a family tradition to over cater for dessert. This year there were 12 of us and we had 13 desserts plus 2 kinds of ice cream. Very ...

We had been in Perth For nearly two months and had done far too much work and far too little touristy activities. We wanted to get out and see some of Western Australia but this place is so big it would take us a year to explore it all. It was decided we would rent a car and get away for the weekend. Numerous places were looked at as our destination. We had the pinnacles to the north, with its dessert and amazing coast line. We had Wave rock to the ...

Mit dem Campervan bin ich dann einige Tage alleine (da Dom noch arbeiten musste) Richtung Margaret River, ca. 3h suedlich von Perth gefahren. Die Region um Margaret River ist sehr bekannt als Wein Region sowie ist es West Australiens No.1 Surf Beach. Nach einem Stopp in Bunbury und Busselton bin ich dann muede (die Nacht vorher in Perth war lange :-) am Caravan Park von Margaret River angekommen. Ich habe zwei Surfer von Norwegen ...

... told... <br><br>...and remember that all 10 of the world's most venomous snakes live in Australia. <br><br>ALL TEN OF THEM!!! <br><br>Writing this after the event, I've now realised that the snake had clearly been summoned to scare us by an absoluely ridiculous dance that Katie had broken into minutes before the snake made his entrance, for ...

... et cairns.. je sais plus ou, les habitants du village... toutes des villa de luxe au bord de plage... font une petition pour faire partir une dame qui a pose sa maison sur un terrain.. car en australie.. vu qu ils font pas de fondations.. ils demenagent avec la maison.. et la maison, c est uen des ces vieilles maisons typiques une Queenslanders, rouge, rose petant.. imaginer ses bons vieux riches australiens qui crie a la ...

... that it's bigger than NYE so was really looking forward to them, and I have to say they were amazing! They went on for about 30 mins and just filled the sky, the finale as always being the most impressive part. I will always remember my Australia Day in Perth for those fireworks! Yesterday I spent the day with Erin, who kindly showed me around the City a bit and we took in some views of the river from the comfort of her air conditioned car! I also got to see ...

... little closer to shore. After we dried off and ate lunch we got back on the bus for a short ride to the mouth of the Margaret River. Since Australia is coming out of its dry season the water from the river didn't even meet the ocean! Strange to see a dried up river mouth. We canoed up the river a bit where we learned about what plants we could eat from the area. We were also able ...
