WA coast holiday Hi Jo & John, Am really enjoying reading your blogs. We travelled down the WA coast in 2010 so am loving reliving all the spots you are going to. Great!!
Thanks Jan, loving the travelling again. Hoping to make it all the way to Lawn Hill NP before getting home mid August. Maybe we'll see you along the way one day?
Stunning! What amazing photos of Australia's beautiful coastline! If only it wasn't at the very opposite side of this big brown land, it could be our next holiday destination!!
Love the quadbiking pics too xx
Feels like we are with you guys! Loving these blogs Stubbseys!! Reminds us of the times in the NT with all the Kakadu adventures. Love the photos too! What an amazing time you are having.
I (Jen) have finally setled down into SA after being on the move this year. Perth, Melbourne (wedding shopping for Miss Kate), Baltimore on a Nanny mission (just under a month in the US), up to Palm Cove Qld, and then off to Vietnam. Just been back a restored the gut, 3 wks ago and now not looking to go too far for awhile (although will be in Sydney at the end of July for an AFL game). All good in Adelaide town and we are just loving the wood fire after trekking around Vietnam in high 30's and high humidity. Big chat when you get home eh??
Lots of love to you both....safe travels. Lovethe Sewellies xoxoxo

Fascinating Travelogue Dear John and Joe,
What a truly amazing trip you are having. It has been so uplifting; (especially on cold, wet, Mondays, at our beautiful downtown Arncliffe office!!) to read about and see great photos of the most interesting and fascinating places around this incredible country. Joe, you have a great talent for travel writing, and dare I say it, may even convert some of our more "urban" friends to the delights and freedom of the great open road/track!! We look forward to reading more about this wonderful odyssey. Happy and safe travels. Looking forward to catching up in August. Jack and Mairead.
Travelling Stubbs' Hi Jack and Mairead,
thanks for the comment Jack, I really enjoy the writing when I get around to it but with the limitations of power and reception etc., it's always a challenge to write what's relevant. Have posted 23 more blogs today, we are in Kunnunurra after the Gibb River Rd so between cleaning out EVERYTHING, trying to catch up with the blogs. Had my last email to you returned Jack - they said you had retired! Wow! Do you have a new email address? Love to you both and we will have a great catch up when we get back.

comment on sites!! Jo, I hope you have sent a copy of this blog to the sites involved, if these people take money for sites they are obliged to provide the necessary hygienic facilities, this is the 21st century for goodness sake. Am enjoying your blogs , Love from Syl.
What a wordsmith! That was such an entertaining blog! Not because I need to know about your bowel habits, but reading the ending was well worth getting through the beginning...
You paint a picture that's probably almost as beautiful as the real thing. I wish I - and the 4 noisy grandchildren - were there with you to see it.
Imagine how many poo conversations there would be then!! xxx
PS - Show us a picture of the woolly mammoth please!
Sounds like you guys are having an amazing time Aunty Jo! Making Ben and I very jealous! We're so keen to do this one day! After visiting Margie's, we're absolutely determined to see more of the West Coast! Have fun! xxx
Hi Jo and John
Loving reading all about your adventures...envy is a nasty thing! All ok here...youRe not missing a thing. Whoever invented eTapestry should be shot.
Take care and have fun.

Happy travels Hi John &Jo. Your travel news is very intersting. We have been to many of the spots you have been talking about but we haven't seen any of the southern coast of WA. The weather will probably bit a bit ordinary until you get further north but am envious of you all the same. We won't be going far this year - very busy with golf & building a house, but hopefully we'll get back into it next year. Unfortunately our usually beautiful autumn weather was very limited this year but hope you enjoyed SA all the same. Safe travels Jan
Memories I read this comment with fond memories. "As you drive along you try to imagine how people did this drive when it was a dirt road. It goes on forever when you are doing 90KPH, how long must it have been on dirt?". My memory was back in 1967 when a mate of mine and my goodself drove to Perth from Sydney in a VW Beetle. The Nullabor Highway was 600 miles of bulldust and they had had a lot of rain, the road at many places was impassable with bogged semi trailers everywhere. I think I have some photos somewhere that I can share with you down the track. The names of several places you have visited stirs the memory bank. We drove straight to Perth and came back via the coastline. Esperance and Albany where beautiful stopovers. One memory were the Karri tree forests on the western coast and I recall climbing one to the top via a circular staircase. I will continue to read your blogs with interest, its almost 50 years since I visited. Safe travelling
This family just gets bigger & better! Congrats to you all. You go safely Stubbsys!! Hey Kate, I'm over in Baltimore as a Nanny for a few weeks. Thank goodness there is an end point. Don't know how you do it!!
Love Jen
Thanks for your posts! Firstly happy birthday Jo!!! We are both ecstatic to hear more detail about your adventure and even better to see the snaps as you move from one local eatery, to new place, to better campsite, rock, scenery or tyre flat!!! Sounds like Geoff is keeping you busy! Keep having fun and be safe! We are all following along in Sydney xx
We started blogging in 2006 when we did a caravan trip around Australia. We've used this site for various other updates in our lives and now in 2015 we are on the road again. This time for about 3-4 months heading across to the Flinders Ranges in SA then across the Nullarbor to Albany for Anzac Day and then a slow trip up the WA coast to Broome and beyond.... full info
