Dec 22nd

It’s sad to say another farewell to this family.

To the fun girl days out with Mary and long cuppas while the boys are working. I enjoyed every minute of our stay in Kalannie.

What a team, Steve, Mary, Chris and Jodie, fun and hard working, we will miss you all.




Hope you all have a good break now the harvest is done. Merry Christmas to you all and best wishes for the coming year.

After a long days drive Chris and I arrived at Gracetown caravan park. We intended to surprise the family after we set up, but…who should pull up to check in at the same time we did, Bec, Steve and kids. The excitement on Becs face said it all. Well worth keeping it quiet till we got there.

Gracetown is a surfers paradise, and so its nothing to walk 5 or 6 klms through the hills to get to a favorite surf spot. Doing this once was enough for me, however the sunset was worth the effort.






Rosie and Creed enjoyed a last surf for the day and I took some photos on a walk along the so called beach. Rough going in these parts.










Time to call it a day. Just had to do the long track back to the cars in almost darkness.

Back at camp our evenings are all about cards, kookaburras and feeding Creed. He is a bottomless pit.



The next few days we repeated it all again, but added in a couple of tourist stops as well.



A stop in to the Margaret River Chocolate factory is a must.

Chris was like a kid in a lolly shop, and I tried their waffle and ice cream.


Poppy wins a round of minni golf, Rosie and I tied last, so that’s ok.

More surfing spots, and a memorial to 9 people who were crushed when the cliffs gave way, and they were burried in rubble.




Time goes fast when you’re having fun. The weather has been beautiful, sunny days and mild nights.



More beach time together as our time draws to a close with the kids.


I enjoyed being like a beached 🐳 for a few hours.


Then we tracked back through the hills to Gracetown, had some lunch and drove back to camp for our afternoon siesta.



Last night we had dinner at the local club, which was a nice way to end our stay .


Thats it for now . Chris and I would like to wish all of our families, friends and their families, a joyous Christmas and a happy new year. Let it be a time for peace, laughter and good health in the year ahead. We are blessed to have you all in our life, and thank you for your interest in what we do. Much love and Merry Christmas.😘🥳💖💐🌲🌲 🌲
