Cait's last game for the Pumas

Cait played her last game of Basket Ball today... For the Willetton Pumas anyway!
She received her trophy and handed back her orange vest as she'll not sign up for them next year. She's already planning on joining the tean at her new school, Carey College in Feb though!
Keep watching, so see her 'shoot some hoops'!!!

Goanna on the run!

Driving home from golf last Sunday, I turned into the road that goes by our house and saw a piece of rubber rolling along the pavement. It was only when I got a bit closer, that I could see that the 'rubber' was WALKING!!!

It was this little fella, a 'Goanna' or an Iguanna, as we Poms call them!


I got out to take a photo and it stopped in the shade of a tree, so I walked up and took a few shots (Photos)

It was only when I showed the guys at work, that they told me that these things run like the wind AT YOU, and bite, scratch and scream as they climb to your head, so I guess I was bit lucky? Or do I have the powers of 'Mick Dundee'????

Either way, I'm a 'dumb Pom'! lol

Just managed to find a small clip of what we were doing at Lancelin, so added it here.
No 'play' this weekend - girlies on Guide camp, so child-free all weekend! Dave's house warming tonight, Golf in the morning, brunch with Charlie n Tracey tomorrow then collect girlies from Hillary's tomorrow arvo - no time to PLAY!!! ;o)

Another day with the 'boys'

Last Saturday, The 'boys' from work decided to take a little trip 'Up North' to Lancelin 4WD area... ...again, as it's such good fun!
Travis took his brand new Mitsi Triton (above) and quite quickly got it stuck (see saw fashion) on the tip of a dune. Finn's Landrover Disco soon pulled it to safety though.

John, being John couldn't help himself when Trav's 'young fella' started to squirm, so his motherly nature came out - He HATES kids!!!

We had lunch back under some shade and most of us (No Nige!) returned to the dunes for some serious action. We were determined to climb this one. It's only about 40 metres high and at about 50 degrees? John gave it a good go, but couldn't match Finn's tracks, where we almost made it to the top??? (I went with Finn as I didn't want to risk Phoebe so soon after getting her back!)
Trav gives it a go too, but still couldn't reach Finn's marks!

The dark tracks were John's, but he made them coming DOWN, not up! Finn was the winner in his old Disco!!!

Here, John lines up to go DOWN, but he experienced 'momentary loss of traction' unitl Finn had to pull him out too! - He DIDN'T get bogged, just lost traction!!! lol

More fun next time, as I think I'll be braver to take Phoebe again - Summer hols coming up, so we'll certainly be beach driving! Watch this space. Jcp
