Hiya :) Lol yes you should all go traveling, it really is amazing how much you learn about different places. We'll be back at the end of August sometime, we are dropping in to see Neil and Lisa Hutchison in Mount Isa for a biit, and then maybe Merv and maree in Longreach and then Kresto in Emerald. Brad and Vicki are related on Nathan's mum's side, her real brothers son and daughter inlaw. Brad's dad was one of the brothers we organised for Vicki to go see in WA for her 60th. Take care and we will see you all in about a month.
Hi Just catching up again. Kids are all sitting around me saying "we should do that" and "why can't we do something like that".
When I first saw the picture of the big wave I actually thought you were surfing and how clever you were, particularly Danni as I didn't think she surfed. LOL!
Hope you've had a safe trip back over the nullaboor and we look forward to seeing you back in Bundy in a couple of weeks.
If the weather stays the same as this week, you'll be coming back to glorious weather - the week before was a bit cold but this week has been really nice.
Love to you both. Lucy
PS. Do I know Brad and Vicki or are they related on Aunty Vicki's side of the family?
Hee Hee Thanks Danni.
I just expanded your previous blogs and was having a more thorough look at them. I had to laugh at Nathan in the thermal pools - I can just imagine it. I love the proverbs at the end of some of your blogs. They are still so true and practical today aren't they?
Weather is quite cool & brisk here - which I love, being a redhead with fair skin, however some people with asthma and hayfever don't cope so well. Met Chelsea Kate at church this morning - she is gorgeous. I had to pry her away from Bianca who is loving having a baby around again.
Keep safe and having fun and see you when you get back.
Love, Lucy
Hey Tania, Yes Nathan sooo wants to try a Maron, but we haven't been able to find any as yet, he's hoping to get one at the seafood markets today in Fremantle. Have a good week :)
Thanks Lucy :) Yes we are still with the Flemings for another week yet. Tell Jord I will say hello to the boys tomorrow morning for him. Hope you guys have been well, we miss everyone too but are having a great time. See you in about 5 weeks all being well.
Hi Brown haired nomads Hi guys. great to hear your travelling well and really experiencing the teritory and seeing wonderful things. Your ocean stop looks awesome and other than the cold, i'm sure you could stay there a while. Not good about water pump nat. hope that works out ok for ya.. Give us a yell if ya need me to bring you one as sel is really enjoying hearing what all you travellers are up to but wishes she could join you. She was even considering going to Townsville over the holidays to supprise her mum and dad and stay with them for a couple of days. She would jump to come down to you as well i'm sure.. but yea!! best of luck with the repair and that the mighty truck concures the Nullabour in style...(while slipstreaming the Fleming road train..(or attach a rope for true cruise control :-). Taggarts are good although i have come down with the flue on sunday so have had a couple of days off..Should be back on deck tomorrow.. Girls are fine and Sel and the group did a 17klm walk on sunday arvo.. 20klms this weekend.. sounds serious but nothing compared to the 50klms in august but we are both really looking forward to the experience. Ok Taggarts will sign out and take care you pair and all travel safe.. Keep up the great blogging Danni..

Yay, Nathan found an Autopro and amazingly they had the water pump we needed! Nathan has been working on it all day so we will be ready to travel tomorrow :)
Hi Travellers Sound like your having fun, can't wait till we join you. How is that new van ? Hope its not too cold down there..Enjoy it all. Love the blog..
Hey Hey travellers Hi Guy's. Looks and sounds like you are travelling well. Have been thinking of ya and that car and van hold strong and that yoy have a safe time. Thanks to Danni for taking the time in keeping us up to date. Great idea and great effort. Hi Nath. Your poor old boat blew an artery apparantly and is leeking profusely oil out the rear main seal. Nathan is going to pull out the engine and i may give him a hand to pop off the bottom and redo it with that spare wick seal i have. Will have a look at releif valve on pump as it shouldn't have blown it out?? what's your thoughts...
Our family is fine, Tegan's birthday today... my little girl is 9yrs old.. time fly's.. Had a meeting with the big boss Tim Mander today.. went well.. Puppies are born and doing well, very cute and eyes opened in last couple of days.. Spoke at church Last sunday, went well by all accounts (twice) and i was the 1st person to have a motorbike up the front of church at BBC. went down well and i will send you it on disc with flemings if it sounds ok to save your download so you can have a service one sunday with us there as well :-) Have started training for this 50klm walk in august. Did 15.5klm walk on Monday public holiday, and did another 16.5klm's on sunday arvo. We are looking at around the 20klm's to do on this sunday.. Pain is my friend...OK.. Take care you pare.. Drive safe and enjoy yourselves.. Praying for ya... Taggarts out.
Hi Nath and Danni, great to hear your enjoying yourselves, you are certainly seeing a lot so far. Just like summer here still, skied on Sunday water not too bad. Although I hear the cold is coming from south any day. Be thinking of you guys and keeping an eye on your travels. God Bless. Pearsons xx
OMG I cannot believe what I am reading!!! Stuart & I have just come back from a trip to Clare Valley in S.A. We took a week to get there. We travelled through Kilcoy, St. George, Lightening Ridge, Brewarrina (did you see the 50,00 yr old fish traps?), Bourke (Dr. Fred Hollows gravesiste) to Wilcannia on the Darling River Run to Broken Hill, Silverton (you MUST go to the pub and do a tour through Daydream Mine - it is absolutely fascinating!! to Peterborough, then to Clare Valley. We did a house sit for 2 weeks, then spent a week coming home. This is spooky, we are reading our story. Will keep watching for more updates. xxx
Sounds like you've had an awesome time so far! Will be praying for you both on your travels, so great you can take the time to stop at all the little towns along the way that otherwise would get missed...so much history! xo
WOW! wow Danni that really IS an adventure! I love the sound of feeling as tho you were stepping back in time...i'd love to visit a place like that one day so i'll keep it in mind :-)
Hope you continue having a wonderful time, and looking forward to reading your updates as you go.
Love Kim
