Easter

Mum & dad returned from the east coast & we headed down south WA for a week of family banter - travelling the coastal route, & terrorising laid back country towns in our campervan. It was a good time, & cool to see some of the beautiful spots this state has to offer. We spent time relaxing on beautiful beaches such as Salmon holes, & Redgate - mostly in the sun... & often also the wind! We also explored some of the beautiful southern forests, which included a 'tree top walk' & climbing a 61m Gloucester tree on metal stakes spiralling its trunk - mum led the way which was very impressive! We also visited some wineries & spent enough time trawling through souvenir shops on mums infamous missions.

I think a highlight for my parents was meeting some of my friends (& their parents!). We had a good meal with Rory & Susan, then hung out with Rory's parents over the Easter weekend, before visiting the farm of some of my other good friends (the Dodds). It was a beautiful place, & good fun to go walking, swimming, & quad biking round! My folks plane out of Perth was delayed by a day, so I actually had said goodbye to them three times (after a surprise early morning goodbye) by the time they left! The weekend has been a quiet one, but that is not a bad thing as the rest of semester is lining up to be a busy one. Thanks for stopping by - keep in touch.
