Week 10

Busselton 4th - 14th March

The first day was spent doing the washing....Sorry to the other campers for us hogging the washing machines for most of the day! We were dirty... By the 3rd day we were back to normal and had a good feel for the town so it was time to get the school work out of the way and get out and go exploring. On the Wed (6th) we went out on the Busselton Jetty, it was one of those bucket list items now ticked off.

During the week we drove south to Augusta. We visited the light house at Cape Leeuwin and witness with our own eyes the joining of the Southern and Indian oceans. We also explored the areas in between like Margaret River and Yallingup

Zachary’s 12th Birthday. March 9th.

 

This card says a lot. It was hand made by the kids adopted grandparents; Zach and Russ built up a lovely relationship both enjoying each other’s company. Mainly discussing fishing, that is. Barb and Russ had a lot of time to give to our children even the early morning hellos’. Afternoon tea together was wonderful (Which consisted of pancakes and gluten free for Guy and Amity.) Jake was asking for more.

We had the pleasure of Barb and Russ being there for Zach's birthday and we also had the pleasure of Miffy, Darren, Archie ( Jake new found friend) and Rosie ( Curtis New cuddle friend), joining us for Zach birthday.

Donnybrook & Yallingup

What a great playground, it’s big, but is it the biggest? Well I’m not sure. We have seen some playgrounds on our travels and it’s hard to say. The kids loved the playground and the big kids too..... Jake was surprised by his visit from Archie, he was happy to have a playmate. We stayed for awhile until we headed on our way, stopping at a fruit grower’s, collecting some fruit.

Yallingup maze was a lot of fun for all, did we complete the maze? Nope! We found out later that there were hidden doors.  They left that out when we paid for our entry fee. We meet up with Miffy, Daren and the kids got to play and the adults tried their skills at the many puzzles on offer.

Bunbury.

We did a few day trips to Bunbury too. once for retail therapy and the second time to visit the Dolphin Discovery Centre. Curtis got to see a turtle (which he says now quite clearly). Amity and Jake got to learn about sea urchins and watch them roll over. We met an octopus that could work out shapes in a toy shape sorter. Unfortunately we missed the wild dolphins at the beach but we still had a great time.
