Family News
Rachel and Travis are the proud owners of a block of land in Blackwater. They are now planning their house.
It is Bernadette's birthday today.
It is Bernadette's birthday today.
We made it............
We made it over the Nullabor and it wasn't near as bad as I was expecting. It is 1200 kilometres from Ceduna to Norseman and we took three days to do it. Can't rush these things!! There was so much traffic on the road, mostly semis and caravans but cars, motorhomes and a couple of motorbikes.................never a dull moment!
We haven't had phone reception for the last couple of days.
We travelled with Graham all the way and we were like his little support vehicle. We are dwarfed by his rig and it's size attracts much attention. I will post a photo when I get a chance. We can't actually fit the whole thing in one photo! On the back of his truck, he has a motorbike and a workshop.
At the moment, Keith and Graham are watching the football on his "big screen" TV while I use his power to do this.
We are heading to Kalgoorlie tomorrow and Graham is going to Perth. Boo hoo... we will be our own again but may meet up with him again in Broome. He has a boat and has told Keith he will take him out fishing.

Goodbye Ceduna, Hello Nullabor
Today we leave Ceduna and head for the Nullabor. We are lucky to have been adopted by a fellow with the taj mahal of fifth wheelers............his outfit is 21 metres long, ours is 21 foot (7 metres).
It looks like he has chewed us up and spat us out as the only resemblence is the colour scheme!!
What a beauty....I can actually see myself in it! He has put extra water on board for us and has also told me that we will have satelite TV across the Nullabor, what more could you want. I have made a curry for tea to compensate!
He has crossed the Nullabor before so we appreciate his experience, he, he

Mouse Plague.............what mouse plague!!
Apparently there has been one but we have made made it to Ceduna and have only seen three dead mice so far!! Keith thinks I am paranoid!!
We have had no power for the last couple of days so haven't been able to post any news.
We have been at Farm Beach which I am sure you haven't heard of. We hadn't either until we made contact with Lorraine and Keith Felton from Hervey Bay and met up with them there. It is a great fishing spot and Keith was lucky enough to go out in the boat with Keith and a local fisherman. They came back loaded up with 36 King George Whiting and a couple of Rock Cod. We had cod for tea tonight and it was very nice...............even better beacuse Keith cooked it.
