Year of the Kangaroo
8th August 2015 So there it is. 12 Months of travelling around and living in Australia. So much done but so so much more still to do. It only feels like yesterday that we arrived off the plane in Perth in search of adventure and (after 7 months in Asia), wine and cheese! What started […]

On The Beach
Margaret River is all about the two Ws – Wine and Waves. We will talk about Wine in a later post.The second W, waves, are in abundance on the coastline between Gnarabup and Surfer’s point at Prevelly Beach. We stayed here in a beach hostel. The room was nice and the shared kitchen and dining […]
Busselton or Bust!!
Western Australia is massive. To explore it properly we would have to get some wheels. After over 8 months of not driving it was time to get behind the wheel again. We selected Margaret River and the Southwest region of Australia for a road trip. A quick trip to JB Hifi was needed to get […]
