Simmo's
I was worried when you mentioned Simmo's closing down. The real Simmo's is just out of Dunsborough. When we lived down there they had proposed a redevelopment of the foreshore. It sadly needs it. That little cafe used to be closed at the oddest times during the weekend and school holidays. Hopefullly they will build something that caters to the tourist better.

some great photos in this bunch

A bit flash ...
Hey guys, you're getting a bit flash now aren't you, with maps of your coordinates pinpointing where you are? How can the rest of us hope to keep up with such sophisticated blogging? :) J xx

800!
What an achievement. Congratulations on keeping us all so involved in your exciting travels. Here's to the next 800....... xx

Pictures
What a great bunch of pictures. Wonderful. Need a rule to keep 'swimmers' in the truck!!

Familiar Rones
Still trying to come up with something deep and meaningful - not really up for it after three days of ultrasounding sheep and having my hand stuck up the nether regions of each and every one of them!!

800th Blog ...
Hi KJ, I don't know how you managed it either - I know the trouble I have when on the move. It is a momentous task and certainly a love job but, as we all know and say ... it's the comments people leave from those who take the time and trouble to do so, that encourages us and keeps us going. I sometimes think, when I'm tired and plugging away .. "is anybody really interested in this stuff I'm writing and actually reading it?" then, you'll get a comment or two and suddenly, all is right with the world and off we go again. :) I must confess to having fallen asleep over the keyboard more than once, whilst working on the latest edition that we put our heart and soul into. Thanks too, for your concern. Yes, Sydney has had a wild ride weather-wise these last few days but, thankfully, our fam have all come through unscathed. Once again, HUGE congratulations on your marvelous achievement and, what a great record of your adventures and now, I only have one more question ... when does the book come out? :) Love to you both, J xx

Andy & Caroline, Congrats on the 800th blog as well as taking that intrepid first step of leaving everything behind and starting in a new country! It can sound very romantic and conjure idyllic images, but the reality can be much more challenging, especially when getting a new citizenship -- you both did it! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us~~ :-)

800th Blog
Congratulations! guys - you made it! Congratulations on reaching your 800th blog and also for Snap Shot. What an achievement! Couldn't happen to a nicer couple. Sorry to be a couple of days behind adding our congrats but, only back home today and still catching up. :) Well done!! Luv, J & T xxx

800! wow!
Congratulations on 800 blogs - and an even bigger congratulations on all the exploring that goes with that :)

Can't believe it has been so long
Where does the time go? Seems like only yesterday that I started to "follow" your blog. Agree with Dave. That photo captures how I think of you two. How come I've been here for forty years and still don't have citizenship? Typing this in the middle of a cat 2 cyclone. The house is rated for a cat 3 but it is still shaking. Never heard such a roar from the wind. Like standing on a railway station while a train goes through at full speed. Take care, John
