Back in Perth

3 nights in Guilderton was more than enough! The place was crowded come Friday night with heaps of families from Perth there for the weekend. It was windy as anything and we got rain and a couple of pretty good thunderstorms to boot. We took the boat up the Moore River the two days we were there and although the fish were all too small to keep, it was fun.



It’s a really beautiful river with lots of birdlife, kangaroos down eating in the late afternoon and big beautiful paperbark trees lining the edges and growing in the water. The few hours we spent on the river got us out of the wind and away from all the feral kids running around the park.



I wasn’t particularly sad to leave yesterday and drive the 90ks into Perth and to our flat. We unpacked quickly, and then brought the van around to its home for the next 12 weeks at Blair, Leah and Todd’s. Leah’s parents John and Christine came down from Mandurah, so we stayed and had a lovely BBQ for dinner last night.

Today we are over here again cleaning the van and doing many loads of washing. It’s about 30c here today, so it’s drying almost as we hang the next load out.
