Plan was for Fras, Di and Al to drive back to Perth whilst Jen caught the 9.10am flight as she had a class at 1.10pm. As they say, all good plans of mice and men go astray and it certainly did for Jen. Al dropped Jen at the airport and then we checked out of … More Back to Perth – 19th November 2018

Busy, busy day around Kal and close surrounds. First order of the day after a beautifully cooked breakfast courtesy of Jen and Al we headed to the look out point of the super pit. Originally there were many small underground gold operations spread out along the famous Golden Mile of Kalgoorlie and Boldre. Roughly 20-30 … More Back to Perth – 18th November 2018

Today was an adventure into the outback to see Potsie’s gold processing plant. We all headed out of Kal about 60k to Potsie’s lease at Mount Monger. Potsie’s dad got this lease area back in the 1970’s and have been working it since then but now processes the gold for other people. Potsie got Di and Jen right … More Kalgoorlie to Mount Monger and Back – 17th November 2018

Yesterday was spent catching up with some friends from our Shay Gap days in the mid 1980’s. It is so typical and kinda silly that when you meet up with people you haven’t seen for over 25 years, you say, “oh you haven’t changed a bit” which is a big fat lie. You know that … More Perth then to Kalgoorlie – 15th and 16th November 2018

Hello to all blog followers. There is not a great deal to report from the last few days as using it as an opportunity to regroup and recoup. Have been holding up at our good friends Al and Jens place whilst the poor buggers having been going to work. We have been amusing ourselves by … More Perth Quiet Time – 13th to 14th November 2018

Great news today as we finally received our replacement Aussie Visa cards. Weird thing was that we paid an additional $20 to get Fraser’s card delivered quickly to get us up and going and left Di’s to be sent regular mail. Yeap, you guessed it – both arrived in the mail today AND in the … More Visiting Blogger Mates, Perth – 12th November 2018

11.11.11. Lest We Forget!! Jen dropped us back down to the Busselton Jetty for a train ride out to the end of the pier. It reminded us a lot of the Brighton Pier that we went to last year in the UK except there was no Punch and Judy show and a hell of a … More Busselton to Perth – 11th November 2018

Today was one of much needed exercise as been slouching around quite a bit. Fras and Al went down to the beach and joined a heap of other people doing a 5k run called the Geographe Bay Park run. It occurs every Saturday morning and this week they happened to be celebrating their 4 year … More Busselton – 10th November 2018

It was a very quiet day for us with not much to write about at all. Fras and Al headed off to the golf course at the ungodly hour of 5.30am; Jen headed to work and Di spent until 8.30am inspecting the insides of her eye lids. Our plan was to help around the house … More Perth to Busselton – 9th November 2018

Last night we transferred from Darren and Gayles home to Al and Jens home. We certainly don’t want to outstay our welcome with any of our friends. A big thank you to Darren and Gayle for putting up with us and trusting us with the bat mobile. We will be seeing these guys before we … More Perth – 8th November 2018
