Drages Beach

We had a day out at this fabulous beach yesterday with Kevin, Karen, Steve, Sue , Jasmine & us of course.

A few fish were unlucky enough to get caught & we had visits from a large pod of about 30 dolphins and one very interested seal, also had a big stingray hanging around for a while too. Some of the roads in & out very a little sticky.

Leaving Bremer Bay tomorrow (Monday) after a very relaxing 3 weeks with Steve & Sue.

More Hunter River





Another day in paradise! Went for a picnic at Hunter River with the girls from the park and played with the kayaks.Hunter River is a fresh water river just in from Bremer beach and is a favorite spot for water sports in the holiday periods.

Australia Day.

Wednesday 26th. Australia day. We started the day with a bbq breakfast then went to Little Boat Harbor for the day. Again with a picnic lunch & a nice bottle of champagne. Got a bit sun burnt & Bryon caught a King George Whiting but sadly that was the only fish for the day.Fabulous weather for a day on the beach & the awning on the Nissan is at last getting some more use.

My Birthday

Monday 24th. Another birthday at Bremer Bay! This one was a lovely day & the four of us, Bryon’s brother Steve & his wife Sue who we are still freeloading on, went to the Pub for a leisurely lunch of course accompanied by several or more bottles of fine wine. The food was excellent and naps were needed after we got home.
Had a lovely surprise on Tuesday when Chelsea & the kids came to visit from Albany for the day. We had a lot of fun at the playground, then the caravan pack & lastly a couple of hours at the beach with a picnic lunch, then Maddie & Ben played in the water for a while. Thanks Chelsea for coming.

Bremer Bay

It’s a rainy day in Bremer Bay where we have been for the last week. Have been having a quiet time with a few walks on the beach & around the town and just settling into the van as well as spending time with Steve & Sue who we are staying with while here. We went back to Albany yesterday with them to attend the funeral of Les Edwards who was the father of a friend of the family’s. Of course we had a little shopping fix while we were there & visited Chelsea & our cats to see if they were missing us yet. Our house sure looks a bit different as all the tiles through the house have been ripped up & the new ones will be laid next week. It’s amazing how many people we have caught up with this week as the Bay is full of holiday makers, but most of the non permanents are going home this week.
Tomorrow we are going to the hotel for lunch to celebrate my birthday & our 7th wedding anniversary.
We are just starting to look at maps to plan where we are going to next, which will still be a couple of weeks away, so lovely to have the time to go slow. Sorry there is not much to put up here yet but have included a few shots of Bremer Bay & also our van parked at the side of Steve & Sue’s brand new house.

The caravan & Nissan

Off to Bremer Bay tomorrow morning.
