We could be moving!!!

We move even closer to the handover of our house!
We've heard that they expect to do a final inspection of it early next week, although they haven't been able to lay carpets, put up blinds or the fence yet, but that should only take a couple of days! so we hope to be called there by Weds or Thurs next week!
Once we're happy with the quality control, we have 10 days to get the bank to pay the last payment and then we get the keys...
...that's when the hard work starts! We have to MOVE!!! Anyone available to give us a hand???

Oh, and Noonie has been building her own blog in her maths lesson - It's great, so leave a comment or two for her at hew blog here: http://ep4049.montblogs.com/ but bear in mind that her friends and teacher will see what you write?
More news as we moves!
Cheers, Jcp

Moore River - Near Lancelin

Camping in June again!
You'd think we'd learn!!!
But this time, we went NORTH, a little bit (about 1 1/2 hours away from home, along the coast) to Moore River, or GUILDERTON camping park!

What a dump!
As you can see from the photos, we had a terrible spot, just off the beach.
We went with our good friends Linda, Murray and gang, so we weren't alone (as in Albany last year!) and we had great fun!
Just putting the tent up again was a laugh in itself!
PP and the girlies set to putting the new larder and kitchen area up, which worked super-well.
We even have a roof box, to double up on some storage, so we were well-set!

This is the River, which reminded us of Dartmouth, a bit???

It really wasn't THAT cold!

Three amigos, enjoying some winter sun? and our tent in the background
Linda and Murray have their trailer tent all ready to go! Hot & cold running water, Barby, Elastic Trickery - even upstairs to the bedrooms! and the wine cellar underneath, with "Jeeves" the butler paying the odd visit, to see if the silver needed polishing! lol
Told you it was a rotten place! This is a natural sand bank, that protects the river for fishin'
Gorgeous!
and the view is not bad, either!
On Sunday, we went to Lancelin (one of our favourite places) for a spot of sand-boarding! Here, the girls were climbing the bus tyres again!
Jcp havin' a go. It's harder than you think to stay straight!

Phoebe did us proud again - making short shift of the climb over the dunes...
..."Convoy" You're singing aren't you?

They left the door open!!!

We drove by the house today, to see what else they'd done and found that they'd left the door open, so we went in to take a few snaps! They'd painted the front veranda metalwork and the render, so the colours you see are the colours it'll be!
Nutty, washing up!!! Yeah - right!

Washing up all done!

Gone to her room!

In her room!

Not finished the en-suite yet! Just a bit of painting, tiling, fitting the shower, fitting the shower screen - etc, etc, etc
Oh - and whilst waiting for PP to come out from work, I noticed the autumnal colours on the tree at school. Yesterday (1st June), which was MY BIRTHDAY, and thanks for the wishes etc! was the first day of winter here, so if winter is like this, we'll not do too bad!

Off roading with Linda, Murray & gang

We had a wonderfrul day yesterday with Linda, Murray and children, when we decided to have a go at finding a 4WD track as listed in a book we bought a few months ago.
Well... The book said it was off of 'Dingo Road' at 'Nanga Mill', which is near Dwellingup (an hour or so from us) so there we went!

After a little 'searching' for Nanga Mill, we finally fell upon it and saw a sign saying that the gate was closed!

That didn't stop us - we thought it was just because it was end of season, so went a different round, to find that almost all 4WD tracks were closed as it was raining!!! RAINING!!?? That's why we went 4WDing in first place!

Not to be deflated, we had a look at all the 'happy campers' anyway, to see if we could go there AFTER THE WINTER!!! (remember our trip to Albany last year!?!)

Fantastic place to camp - so we'll be going back!
See pics
The road in
PP looking fine!!!
The cook-house, where we cooked rissoles and snags.
The girlies
The 10 second pic, where we set the camera to self-take and told em to RUN!!!
Onagain road - REALLY, that's what its called.
Local wildlife
And, as the rain had stopped, the mist formed over the lakes and river, which was AMAZING!
