Ceduna {Caravan Park}

A quick stop for a train and also for quarantine, then into Ceduna we headed.

We decided on the Foreshore Caravan Park because it was only a short walk into the town shops and also the foreshore its self, obviously.  While booking in I also decided it was time to become a Top Tourist member, cheap to do so and will come in handy during our coming trip. 

 

 

Marty, who runs the park is a really friendly character.  The park its self has a great new camp kitchen, which we managed to camp right next too and the bathroom has recently been upgraded too {they also have free WIFI}.

Originally we said one night but with the need to focus a little on school and do some washing we ended up staying another night.  We had a walk down the jetty on Friday morning before some school work.  After lunch we had a drive around town and out to Denial Bay before heading back.

 

Staying another day worked out well as we meet a lovely family from New South Wales, Amanda & John {along with their three children} and we had a great night chatting.  They gave us some suggestions for camps and we decided to head to one of them for the night.

Yallingup Again {Visiting}

I made plans before our trip to Perth to spent the week with my grandparents before we headed back to Manjimup.  Originally it was going to be myself and the smalls while J stayed up in Perth for work, the job however wasn't ready so we all had a relaxing week together {with my grandparents of course}.

A trip to see Nana & Pop isn't right unless it involves a trip to the Busselton Foreshore.  It never gets old down there, I love looking at the Jetty and how the different lights change it every visit.

                                     

We also took a drive around Eagle Bay.  The weather was chilli but the sun was bright

 We got to watch the sunsets in peace and watch the small ones nap on Nana's couch.

 

Not sure when we will be back to our spot on the lawn in Yallingup but it is always lovely to visit.  Back to Manjimup we go

The month that was

I've been terribly slack with blogging and even this post is a catch up {two weeks later I might add} but it is because we are too busy enjoying ourselves.

Hard to believe that we have been in Yallingup, parked up on the lawn in the paddock with my grandparents.  We've had a fabulous time, learnt lots of things and the smalls have caught up on their school work {excellent}.

We've learnt about all kinds of reptiles and Kaleb's writing is coming on really well.  Kyla has her moments but we are moving forward.  We have done craft, writing, readying and also even made some Damper

 

We have a day trip out to farm in Karridale, just for something to do.

 

 

 

Naps at Nana's, along with helping them pack up the house ready for a move.  I am amazed at the history that my Nana's has collected over the years, at the amount of 'stuff' that she has kept for so long.  Even found some newspaper notices about my birthday and the engagement of my parents from all those years ago.

 

 

A weekend to Perth to spend some time with J while he was finishing off a job.  Saw a foggy morning down there and also an amazing sunset at Cottesloe beach catching up with friends.

 We have afternoons on the lawn at the house, afternoons at the beach & for ice-cream, for a quick beer, a walk on the jetty and drives to lighthouses.

 

 

 

 

A wonderful surprise visit ANZAC Day from my sister & nieces & of course my Mum.  Was a great 24 hours actually and nice for Isla snuggles.

 

A day over to Donnybrook to catch up with another Aunty and also playing at the park in the morning {WOW what a park, be sure to check it out if are in Donnybrook}

 We survived some terrible windy in Yallingup, thankfully J was with us for this weather as I am not sure what I would have done, given we had to tie off to his ute.

 Can't wait for the next part of our adventure, onto Karridale we go.
