What, no more blogs! Hi All,
What a trip! And just when the tales are getting even taller it is all going to end! Glasses stolen by kangaroos? At locations frequented by alcohol? I'm not so sure. It's been bloody cold in BrisVegas that's for sure...had to wear a jumper one day. I led a big bike ride for our club RATBAGS last wekend to Mt Tamborine and Springbrook National Park. Being topographically challenged I had practiced the ride 5 times before the day and only managed to get us lost onthe last leg to the pub. Fortunately some experts could smell the beer and turned us around. Saving for some sort of exotic holiday, but managed to spend half the airfare on new toilets yesterday to take advantage of the drought water saver rebates. Dont hurry back to civilization, there are too many chores to be done there! Love T
Best Blog yet! These stories are getting taller and taller, not even the 'one that got away' beat some of these! Mike couldnt eat the fish for sentimental reasons? pedestrians give way? Angust prefering gameboy to sight seeing? What camels, I couldnt see them with the naked eye? seriously, whata great read! I'm seriously jealous.....love Tracey
Howdy! Hello Walters tribe - you really are having the trip of a lifetime! Thanks for all the pics and diary notes. Tammy, Emily and I are off to the UK for 3 weeks to visit my folks, so we'll see what you've been up to when I get back. Safe travels! Rgds JB
Coffee Well Eino, as you would know from the several SMS messages I have sent you, that the coffee, generally, is excellent! Strike rate is 6 good 1 dodgy. The Latte Tour of WA will continue shortly, but not sure how many coffee shops there are up the Gibb River Road :)
Fantastic reviews and photos Hi Mike, Steph and Angus, the trip reviews have been fabulous reading, especially the dive with the whale sharks. We are envious about all the fish you have been catching expecially that pink snapper, which I am sure tasted devine. We miss you all, take care xx
Allo you groovers - reading with envy of your adventures. Looks like you are all having a ball! Gus maybe you have a new calling - champion fisherman eh? Kavanags coming over in a couple of weeks Hawks in the top 8 so all good in sunny (bloody cold) melbourne. xxxx auntie em
Hey hey Hi guys - just thought we should drop in and thank you for the awesome party venue you have so kindly provided us for next few weeks! Nah...looks as though Matt and Nellie have the housekeeping thing down pat..is very clean and tidy. Looks like you guys are having a fantastic time. Wish I was there too. Love you, Kyliexxx
I'm jealous !! Hi Mike, Steph and Angus.....wow!! This sounds fantastic.....that fishing charter, those beaches and those whale sharks !! Have wanted to do that for awhile now. Life is good back here, but bettter where you are !! We've had quite a bit of rain but could do with more. Have just returned from a few days on KI - stayed at Cape Borda lighthouse. You looked out at the ocean and felt like you were at the end of the world...next stop west South America. Anyway, keep up those good fishing averages all of you, Cheers Sue R.
Wow! Hey
The whale shark charter sounds great! Photos please! How's the reading going Steph? Too much excitement? I pulled the pin on the investment property, the thought of 7 years delayed gratification when I can take holidays instead was all too much, particularly with so many unknowns ( off the plan, just bricks and suntanned workers on the site so far). ...I'm thinking Turkey by motorcycle or Angkor Wat..........stay out bush as long as you can, at least until Spiderman 111 finishes, trez tedious for adults although Evan loved it. Hi to Angus and Mike. Love Tracey and Hi from BikerDad and Evan the Wedgie.
Sigh ... wish it was us ... Hi guys. The trip is looking awesome - and is bringing back memories of too long ago, crossing the Nullarbor (1990). I reckon the photo of your campsite near Fowlers was where we stayed - twas great fun trying to haul salmon up a 20m cliff!
Keep the blog going - like others, we will take it all in when planning our great getaway.
We are all going well (and why wouldn't we after a glorious day with Paul N at Clare Gourmet Weekend yesterday). Only major news is we lost Sam - off to UK via Malaysia with girlfriend last Thursday (3/5) and they may not be back for two years. (Fitting new locks on the doors soon - nah, just kidding).
See you all in July!
Cheers.
Woohoo WOW, How cool is this, enjoying a fabulous trip vicariously through you guys! Jealous, jealous, jealous! Elena loved the wedge tailed eagle photo. One of her favourite creatures, yet she is still to view one for herself 'in the flesh' Awaiting the next instalment with great eagerness!!! Lorraine
way to go hi darlings wish we were with you to help you dig out of the sand hope this is not setting a trend -we had a good laugh at your reaction to your electricity bill Mike Matt ears are still ringing --keep on enjoying your wonderful dream -our love to you xxx
I'm jealous...I love flies Hi there....looks great! Men, mines, lingerie bar staff, and flies! Gorgeous beaches too! How's the reading going? Life in Bris Vegas is doing alright. We are running out of water but the sun is is still shining and the economy booming. Jan is out riding with Roo Stu and Possum Slayer ( nice boys, really), while I am at home contemplating buying a rental property off the plan..while Dirty Jezebel is sulking in the garage....debt vs fun vs debt vs fun?!?......can't I retire now?Love to you all, Tracey
Nice Blog and Pics. Hi Guys. Trip is looking Ace so far. Super Pics of the SuperPit too. Nice work 'photoshopping' the Streaky Bay sunset - amazing colours, surely cannot be real? :)
Not quite sure what the Skimpy thing is all about either. Mike - suggest you scout out the situation carefully and report back.
Wild dingo's howling sounds very spooky.
Cheers!!
Great to hear looks like all are well and enjoying your holidays, whilst us phelps continue to work.
So just how much did Steph earn in Kalgoolie???
Nothings changed in the short time that you have been away other than Narelle has been offered a job up in the snow for 4 months (shes thinking about it at the moment, doesn't start until late June)
Took Max to Hughes on weekend, no problems had great time chasing balls in the surf, then slept until feed time, which I think is what Tracey and I did as well.
Weather crap so no fishing, but relaxed and chilled anyways.
Take care and keep in touch, cheers for now.
Lucky buggers Hi Steph
Good hear your all well, sound like a once in a life time trip.
I had memories flooding back when I was about 8 years old , and my parents and I went to Perth with our caravan. Angus , will remember this for trip, for ever. great experience for him, i'm sure.
All the best
Chris Lennon
The Big Hole We were in Kalgoorlie about 15 years ago, looks like the big hole has got much, much bigger since then. Could well be the hole in the ozone layer is being mirrored on the big hole.
M, S and A.
Finally got a few mins to check out your travels. What a great way to keep track of your experiences.
A good chance that I will follow in your tracks in a few years time.
Jets got a flogging in R1 by Pultney!! B's won as they always used to in our day!!!
Keep well, drive carefully.
Davo
hello Thank god you left the beard!
Glad to see you guys are off to a good start! Just scored medallion club tickets to Carlton Port Adelaide Game 9 of June - first time in 4 years and you are bloody well not here!
everything going good over here fighting the good fight
major question pondering for the week - shall i go back to being a red head? Anything else is on the back burner.
