Perth, Lane Poole, Dunsborough

Julia and old Miel. Julia took a haircut to raise funds for cancer, and became the ambassador for the Pink Campaign. People came up and told her how proud they were of her and how "brave she was". She then had to say, erm, I actually don't have it, I'm just the face of it.

Her mum also got the clip to support the cause. Peter got to to do the bug cut. It was something of a turn for him, as usually she's clipping his. This happened a couple of weeks before we got there, so they're still quite close cropped.

Left: not sure what happened here!

Sunday - the Book of Mormon - hilarious but over the top blasphemous.

Monday - schoolwork, then shopped up at Clarkson Target and Kmart, an easy walk.

Tuesday 5th Nov night back at Anne Sophie's - we cooked burritos, got a kilo of kanga mince from local butcher - eco friendly, delicious. The boys were pretty excited and surprised to get another go at hanging together around again.

Weds got to Lane Poole reserve.

Thursday - tree tops adventure. The boys insisted we go on the black level run. Started with a wobbly ladder, then an uphill zip line. My legs were nearly cramping on the uneven hanging logs. 

For the final jump off, the coiled belt dropped you down so fast that my hands were shaking from adrenaline. The blue level zip line stage was much more fun. We started on a red run. My shoulder is killing me after this, as it got strained some time.

Above: the fort right near  our tent. George and Yannick built this. Our boys put some more stuff on it as well. Good times.

Right: the camp spot, Lane Poole reserve, complete with picnic table, toilets nearby, plus even a camp kitchen. There is a great little river for swimming. We walked to the tree top zip line adventure.

Left: on the way to Dunsborough.

Friday lunch stop at historical Bunbury. Stayed in Dunsborough with Maryanne, Pete, Joe, Julia. We had a great relaxing stay in a terrace type house, all in the one place. Drank lots of coffee, tea, sat up and chatted. We were also there for the choral festival which Joe was singing in.

Saturday - saw Joe sing, v good.

Right: choir who met a Swedish choir, who taught them a "traditional Swedish tune" - "Dancing Queen, young and sweet only 43........53!"

Left: Eneksis. You can just see Joe in the crowd. They were amazing, clearly professionally and highly trained, all hitting different chords.

Played Zombicide board game - the boys LOVE this game.

Sunday - lunch at the lavender place, boys really enjoyed the Yallingup maze, visit the Choc factory again, Fishbones wine tasting - bought 2 bottles, Prevelly Caravan park on the afternoon of the 10th November (now I'm up to date with the blog!).

It's not a bad little caravan park; close to the beach (we have no desire to swim though, it's freezing cold at the moment), just near the Greek Orthodox church that a WW2 soldier built in remembrance of the people of Cyprus who helped and saved him.
