Impromptu weekend in Perth

Hi Everyone,

Well Dave and I have just got back from a great weekend in Perth. We heard from some good friends of ours - (Jack and Si, that we had met in Darwin )- that they had just got to Perth and were flying out to start work in the Pilbara next week.
We hadn't seen them for about 16months so we made a split decision to go to Perth for the weekend.
We didn't tell them we were coming :) We left at 4.30 on Friday afternoon and arrived at the Discovery Holiday Park in Hale Rd Perth at about 11pm - very tired! So we walked around the park to find their Caravan so we knew where to go the next morning then it was off to bed.

After we woke and had showers we wandered off to surprise them :) They were sitting outside having breakfast - yes they were very surprised!!!!!!!!!!  After the initial shock we all sat down for a cuppa and a chat.
We decided that we would meet up a bit later for lunch and then off to the Great Northern Distillery in the swan valley.

We walked from the C/Park to the Hale Rd Tavern for a beautiful lunch of Barramundi and a few Bundy's. Then we caught a Taxi to the Distillery which makes Canefire Rum.
As it is not a hotel, they give you a card when you arrive to say that you are entitled to 3 drinks at $3ea which also includes a variety of cocktails. We all had our 3 drinks - very nice indeed!



Great Day Out with good friends!

 

Sunday was alot slower paced! Just a few drinks and a BBQ Dinner.

Dave taking it easy

Chow Time!

 Dave and I drove back to Kalgoorlie on Monday, back to work now. But the countdown is on for the USA only 11 weeks til we go.

Cheers and Happy Travels,
Shell

Huge News!!!!!!!!!!

Hello to all our loyal followers,

Dave and I have some really big news to share with you. We are going to AMERICA for 3 months!

We have some really good friends that got transferred to Denver - Colorado for 2 years and they have begged us to come visit them. We thought why not! But if we are going to fork out for the airfares we may as well have a good look around.

So we leave in May - we are really excited about it, other than our Cruise to Vanuatu we have not left the country. We plan on seeing as much as we possibly can while over there, such as:
Los Angeles, Universal Studios, Anaheim Disneyland, San Diego Zoo, Las Vegas, Grand Canyon etc.

So we are saving all our pennies now until we leave :)  12 1/2 weeks!
Yes we are counting down, we will leave Kalgoorlie at Easter and put our van and car in storage while we are gone.

We will keep you updated with our plans.

Dave & Shell
