Great pics guys- can't wait to see the coffee table edition... Happy travels. Looks like your having a great time, hopefully the bush mechanic can hang up his tools for the time being? Cheers
How R YA??? Hi Barretts,
You are all looking so slim, trim, tanned and terrific. That fresh, open air must be awesome and is certainly agreeing with you!!
Your bubby boy is looking more like a little man, can't believe how much he has grown. Give the spunks a huge hug and kiss from us.
I've only got 7 weeks to go and enjoying the last trimester, it's flying by really as life is busy as.
Can't wait now!!
So nice to hear about you adventures, continue travelling safe and having the best time!!!
All our luv,
The Tana's
It was great to see you guys...Thank you for loving this part of the world...our little 'local' spots help though! More people need to come and explore what this part of the world has to offer....the secrets of the desert!!! jodi xo
Hi from NZ Hi Nicki and Paul
Your trip sounds and looks great. Something we would like to do some day. May have to be as a grey nomad though.
All of us are very weel over here, lots of skiing and no injuries yet. Amanda is seeing lots through her work though.
Brendan and Mitchell have quite taken to indoor rock climbing. Rhys is skiing down the beginners run faster than anyone else and has been up the chairlift a few times. Boys even get to do some skiing/boarding as part of school. Rhys kindy had a truckload of snow delivered which was very cool. Took 10 adults 30 min to unload it all. Melted in 36 hrs. Stay cool and document all the highlights we simply must see when we return .
NZ is simply stunning. May want to stay but family and friends will call us home.
Drive safe
Lotsa love
Scotty and Amanda and Boys
Fantastic Looks like you are having an amazing time nick - everyone looks so relaxed. Give Jodi and the Gang a big hug from us.
Luv Em
p.s. news from us we are finally doing it and moving back to Tas!
Gday Hey guys great to sit back and relax and read your entry, after a busy day just great. Sounds awesome, good on you. I was only just thinking of you today and then there it was your blog! Loved the photos. Enjoy the ROCK!
Frosty is off taking the boys on a father and son camping trip this weekend should be great. I am going to the Truffle festival that should be fun. Take care lots love us all xx
Berry Springs I vividly remember the Caravan Park at Berry Springs. I also remember the large crocs behind the not so secure looking fence. Did they still have the little bar there, only open for two hours at late afternoon? Save travels.

Bald Parrot not on the CROC menu Hi all,
Great to see you survived the CROCFEST. Some fantastic shots and a great story too.....
You all seem to be having a great time and thats whats its all about! Its great to see that caravan living has turned Paul into a new age Albi Mangles...cause he aint no Crocodile Dundee...
Stay safe and looking forward to more...Edmondo from EXCOM
How R YA??? Hi Nicki,
It was so awesome to hear from you today!!!!!!
Thanks for calling.
Can't believe how much fun you guys are having. The photo's are so amazing - You all look like stars from a movie!
I especially luv the bathtime one, very Anne Geddes. And yes I agree with you that Finn has grown up so much. Think this experience is going to be invaluable to your boys and they are going to have the best memories.
Paul and you both look really well, relaxed and happy. Bet you can't wait wait to experience more adventures.
I'm in my P.J.'s right now so won't be taking a photo of my ever growing belly just yet, but it is getting quite big!
Spoke to M.J. last night and she is doing really well. They are working hard at the moment cause the plan is to be back in Perth ( to live ) by the end of next year! This was great news because I could tell that she is desparate to get back. Her sister is getting married in September and she won't be able to be back this year for the wedding. She sends her luv to all and was excited to hear about your travels. Can't believe I heard from you and her on the same day - how awesome was that!!!
Have been seeing Yvette alot lately as she has inspired me and my cooking with the Thermomix. Poor luv gets a regular call from me every few days to check on a recipe or cooking technique. Her house seems to be just getting back to normal after the storm damage repairs, thank goodness.
Haven't caught up with Lou or Loretta these holidays. Lou is busy with her sister who is visiting for most of the first week and Loretta must be recovering from a busy school term. I will call her tomorrow to touch base. Jo is loving her thermomix as well, bumped into Jase at a coffee shop in Leederville recently. It was about 10pm on a Saturday night and he rocked up to the Greens coffee shop to top up on a coffee, he was on night shift and had the Ambulance parked out the front! Was so funny to see him in uniform!!
Anyway must go and get some sleep. It's about 1am and I am wide awake, which is what has been happening lately - baby preparing me for night feeds I'm sure.
Great to hear from you and Look forward to the next Travel Blog.
Please be careful swimming, was a bit nervous reading about the croc infested waters.
Take care and big hugs to you and the boys,
Annette

awesome Hi guys. You look like you are having an absolutely magnificent time and what a fantastic experience for Jack and Finn. It looks beautiful and we are very jealous :o)
Tyler is missing Jack and keeps saying that he hopes to see him again, not realising that you are just on a long holiday, and he keeps saying that he hopes jack will be at his birthday party (we have hired the fire engine) which I know that he cant make, but in true tyler fashion he doesnt want to hear it from me lol.
Wow finn has grown so much we will def see a difference in our younger boys when we see each other again. (btw Mason is still not walking- bit lazy this one :o) )
Anyway, thought we would say a big hello - especially a massive hello to Jack from Tyler - enjoy yourself on your travels - we enjoy reading all about them (tyler liked the trains in Port hedland)
Take care
Jules, Sean, Tyler and Mason xxxxxxxxxxx
