Wendy and Jan's Excellent Adventures Around WA!

What an excellent time I have had. I have arrived home safe and sound from Western Australia after 16 days of fun filled adventure! There are too many things to list here about our adventures, however, if you follow the link below, you will be able to read all about our holiday and the things we got up to on Chookscraps:

I do have a heap of photos that I will be scrapping in future months from our adventures. I also will be making a slide show of the layouts I completed at the Chookscraps Retreat.

Highlights of the Trip:
  • Chookscraps Retreat
  • Gnomesville
  • Tree Top Walk
  • Southwest Coastline (awesome)
  • Rottnest Island
  • Lobster lunch at Kailis' Cafe in Fremantle
  • The Superpit at Kalgoolie - one big bloody hole!
  • Getting up close and personal with some very cute creatures (a Quokka and a sea lion - but not too close to the sea lion because it was a tad bit on the smelly side)!

Lowlights of the Trip:

  • Travelling from Wave Rock to Perth (via Esperance and Kalgoolie) on the dodgy bus from hell - Good one Pinnacle Tours!
  • Arriving at Canberra Airport to find that our bags had missed the plane - Good one Qantas!
  • Trying to leave the long term carpark with a ticket that is not compatible with the new ticket machines that were installed while we were away - Good one Canberra Airport Operators!

I would like to give Pete our bus driver from Pinnacle Tours a big wrap because he went over and beyond the call of duty to get us back to Perth - you are a legend!
