Work Week Hustle 22/05/2015 I had a medical appointment at the Royal Perth Hospital on Friday 22nd May, so parked the cruiser at Cockburn train station and went in to Perth on the train. I have lost 14 Kilo’s, my GP had suggested I do so as it was conducive to my ongoing health and had her parting word to me on the 28th of January were I don’t care how you do it, just do it! When I went back to see her on 23rd April I had lost 10 Kilo’s she asked me how I did it and I said through controlled starvation, she said the shedding of 10 Kilo’s was great but I needed to take more exercise, she didn’t really say to much on how I did it, but who cares I ... read more

In-Da-Hood-16-05-2015 What happened at 1.15 am? I was fast asleep then I heard something and I shot out of bed. Caroline reminded me this morning that there was some sort of noise outside she said it was like a knock on the door, but I seem to remember a single bang that I reacted to and she remembers me instantly getting out of bed, slipping my fleece and training shoes on and bolting out the door. I walked around Roobie and everything seemed ok, so I was quite satisfied we were in good shape, maybe I had thought a limb of a tree had crashed on top of Roobs, but we didn’t park under a tree, we are always aware of that. As I was getting back in Roobie I could feel the light drizzle of ... read more

Well as usual I was up early, it was 5.00am I had breakfast to do, and as I mentioned previously it was our responsibility for the next few days so there was no way we will negate are responsibility to do our share. So I crept out of bed making sure I didn’t disturb Caroline, first I got the fire going so everyone would have a nice fire when they got up, it was easy to get going, I just put a couple of kerosene tea bags and on top of that some light timber which would burn quickly, a couple of blows and hey presto, the embers burst into life and the fire took hold. I went back to Roobie and “The sleeping Caroline” and proceeded to make preparations for breakfast, on the menu this ... read more

Familiar Tones 24/04/2015 Firstly may I thank our readers and the Travel blog administrators for the fantastic words of encouragement, that we have received on our 800th Blog, all of them are special and appreciated, one that tickled me was from a fellow blogger who said there have been times when she was so tired that she fell asleep over the keyboard and wondered why she was bothering to punish herself, and wasn’t even sure if anyone was actually reading the material that she was writing but it only took a couple of positive messages on their blog site to realise that people actually where reading it and it spurred you on to keep going. Well “JD” we sometimes feel the same and thank you for your detailed “as ever” messages of support and its people ... read more

27/10/2014 The complaints department at Kangaroojack's travel Blog Inc, had received a complaint from a reader who said that we had not published Woo Hoo its the Choo Choo (Part ll) which astonished us, so in true form we never break a promise, JD we hope you enjoy it. I woke at 04.45 and just stared at the windows until the sun came up, it was unfair to disturb Caroline, so I dressed as quietly as I could and as she stirred I said I was going to Macca’s for a cup of coffee and do some of the blog, I did hear the words “bring me back a coffee”. The morning was absolutely beautiful and by the time I strode out it was about 05.20, the morning was warm and absolutely stunning, I knew the ... read more
