Flew into Perth to be met by Grahams cousin Mick who we haven't seen for 38 years. I recognised him straight away but Graham walked straight past him. He drove us to these very swish apartments on the harbour in Freemantle. His wife Debbie didn't come with him as planned as she has had an operation and the drive would have killed her. We then went to a nearby bar and met a man who owns all the shrimp boats in this area and had a few drinks with him before a nap and then out to dinner.
The next day we went around Freemantle which is the most georgeous place I have ever seen, and then to dinner with Micks daughter and one of his sons.
So ,up to date now, we set of through the outback, and stayed the night in Geraldton,whilst there we were invited to a barbeque which was a welcome home party for a couple who had just spent a year going around Australia, before braving the drive up to Carnarvan
Today I have seen Kangaroos, Wild Goats and Emus. Thats all for now

Pretty exciting stuff. Are you taking pictures?
Glad you are finally near your destination. Nothing as exciting here. Sunday Sandra worked. We were up early, drove to Caloundra, first town on Sunshine coast which has a large Sunday Market. Did the market then spent the morning on the seafront, sat on a bench and watched the Aussies at play in the sea, it was pretty crowded.It is a beautiful horseshoe shaped bay with turquoise sea and shady places to sit above the beach.Our only wild life was a big spider that Michael killed. Temp 31deg, sunny.
