Bunbury & Busselton

First stop out of Perth was sunny Bunbury (165kms) to spend a night with one of my workmates in Port Hedland, Chris, and his beautiful wife Kaye. Chris was gracious enough to let our terrors take over his home for a night which can be a shock when you are not used to two energetic pre-schoolers.

Feeding the frogs live crickets - not sure who was having more fun, adults or the kids!

Next day and it was time to say goodbye to Bunbury and travel one of what I am sure will be our shortest legs of the journey (65kms) to Busselton to visit Poppy & Karen. We had lots of fun during our three day stay including visiting the Busselton jetty and underwater observatory, a day at CountryLife Animal farm, and daily visits to feed the chooks and collect eggs. Thanks Poppy and Karen for a really relaxing visit.

Craziness obviously hereditary - a quick coffee and play before tackling the Jetty 

Nice photo bomb by Poppy in the background- classic! This makes me laugh every time I see this photo

View from the middle observatory windows, loads of fish, nice clear calm day on the ocean helped
