Geo: -28.7731, 114.611Up early again for the dolphin feed but the kids weren't selected to feed them this time but as they both said at "least we've feed them" after a while when the kids had said bye to their friend, the dolphins, and pelicans we left making our way back South to Geraldton which is half way between monkey Mia and Perth. On route we stopped at Eagle Bluff Lookout which features a spectacularly high cliff and a great board walk that overlooks the Denham Sound near Shark Bay from which you can peer down and watch sharks, rays, & Dugong if you lucky. On our last visit in high Summer we saw nothing and shredded the cars rear tyre on the rutted road getting back. This time we were a little luckier Shell spotted ... read more

Geo: -25.7976, 113.691Unfortunately we're leaving Kalbarri for Monkey Mia this morning and we've planned a couple of stops at lookouts on route as well Hamelin Pool to see our very very distant relations!!. We started the morning by all going to the Pelican feed and once again the kids were fortunate enough to be selected once again to feed them much to their delight. After a quick play on the park and a walk around the War Memorial, we made our way up to Chinaman's Point to admire the view despite the wind and then we were ready for the off. Our first stop was Hawks Head Lookout, again access to the lookouts were all off road but nowhere near as bad as yesterdays corrugated tracks, after leaving Hawks Head we backtracked taking the opposite leg ... read more

Geo: -27.6568, 114.395On route up to Kalbarri we wanted to take the kids to see the Pinnacles Dessert, we stopped after an hour or so to stretch our legs at a lookout, Shell and Sophie went off first followed by the rest of us it didn't take long before Sophie came running back with her fingers to her lips " come quickly there's a Wallaby just around the corner" sure enough as we rounded the bend in the track there not 4m away was a fully grown Wallaby munching on the vegetation, not a care in the world. Whilst it saw us it took no notice and just carried on feeding, then I spotted two Joeys hiding just off the track. By the time we left we were close enough to touch the mother, what a ... read more

Geo: -31.9554, 115.859We arrived in Perth at 05:30 after a a journey of 4125 mls and a change of plane in Singapore. Sophie had gone to a lot of trouble to make a copy of her passport for her favourite cuddly toy (Lola) which she took with her, as we approached the customs desk she presented Lola's passport and the young girl at the desk was taken back by the effort Sophie had put into making the passport and duly stamped the passport for her; Sophie was over the moon. Having cleared customs we decide to have breakfast at the airport, after which we went to the car hire desk to pick up our car which was stated to be a Nissan X-Trail or similar, 9 months before making the booking I rang the company in ... read more

Geo: 1.35208, 103.82After the 12hr 45min flight we landed at Changi airport for the connecting flight to Hong Kong, fortunately it was only an hour and a half's wait which we thought would gave us plenty of time to stretch our legs. It certainly did that it took the best part of 20 minutes to exit the plane and then make our way to the transfer lane. When we arrived the general information board informed us it was a 20 -25-minute walk to our gate, well we certainly stretched our legs and arrived barely 10 minutes before the gate opened for boarding.... read more
