The long way down under

Our shift to the other side of the world..... Flying out on February 17th 2008 to start a whole new life in sunny Perth - with a nice holiday in Dubai for a week first ;-) Will keep all our friends and family up to date with what we are doing, houses we have looked at to rent and buy and eventually settle down.. and will also give us a chance to let all our collegues see what they could be enjoying! Even more important, this will help us keep in touch with the kids, Carli, Thomas & Poppie who are staying back in the UK, they can even vote on the houses we are looking at buying so that they ... full info

Hoist the main sail !!!

Where's the gear stick..??!!

The captain and his co-pilot

Info sheet for the rocks

It was quiet interesting to read about how the split occured..

the natural bridge

Amazing to sit and look down on this.. the water underneath was so strong, some people have even been washed away.

More info sheets

So that you can read about how these things were formed

Look for the egg...

The bird that is flying away has an egg between its feet!

Seal colony

As well as the whales in Albany there are also seals just a few mile out from shore

More whale

Blown away

Not a pretty sight! Some of the gusts were so strong.. I daren't add the ones of Mrs J with her t shirt blown up round her neck!!!

All smiles till the wind came!

Cute little crab

Hiding away safe in the crack of a huge rock.. until those 'bl**dy tourists' stick a camera lens in

More Elephants

Oggy tried to climb from the bottom up to the top.. he did manage to get about half way..

Ang finds a secret stairway...

More walkway

It is a lot higher than it looks......

Taking a breather

See how Ang is clinging to the rails!!!

Higher and higher

Tree with character

Through the history walk and giant red gum trees there were so many unusual trees.. some with faces, some with flowers growing out of them, some hollow ones and some even had other trees growing out of them!! Strange and fascinating

Nicky in a hollow

Wind in the trees
