Hi All

Continuing on from our last email we left Pemberton on 5th October and travelled onto Walpole for one night.
Did the canopy walk at the Valley of the Giants and travelled onto Albany. We loved Albany and spent four nights there and yes watched the Bathurst Car Race all day Sunday  7th. With daylight saving the telecast started here at 4am.
We did the very spectacular drive to coastal area and beaches. Onto Lake Grace  for a night and more wildflowers.
Stayed at Tressie Caravan Park for two nights which is a farm stay with a museum. From here we travelled a short distance to Wave Rock and Hyden. Wave Rock was another sight to see. Very windy. One night at Ravensthorpe and then Bremer Bay for three nights. A lovely quiet beach holiday spot, lovely beaches, more wildflowers, and flies by the droves.
Still very cool at night but the days are getting a bit warmer. Onto Hopetoun for a night and then Esperance for four nights.
Shop to stock with groceries, whisky, car and caravan wash, and general items. Esperance is another lovely spot and the beaches are just beautiful.
We did watch the Gold Coast 600 on Sunday.  Bruce missed this race meeting very much. Saturday we travelled the national parks in the area.
Then to Coolgardie which is another small town with gold history. Today we drove the 40km to Kalgoorlie and are here for three nights.
Thursday we are booked to do the Super Pit Tour. 2 and a half hours. We need to catch with things here before we start to cross the Nullarbor.
We leave here Friday and maybe out of phone and broadband coverage for a week or so. We will free camp for a couple of nights so hope its not too cold. The nights are still cold but the days are about 24deg here.

No sure what we will do in SA but the Barossa Valley is on our list. We have had a fantastic trip so far and everything is going well.
Will be home for Christmas which is coming very fast now.

Miss everyone heaps.

Love to all Ma and Poppa
