Wrong Weather, Wrong Time, [Bremer Bay]

Image
  Eh, could've been better. We arrived at Bremer Bay at the wrong time. By that, I mean wrong weather. The beach was amazing looking, but it wasn't exactly nice beach weather. It was a bit cold, and not incredibly sunny. We took a bike ride to a brewery one day, but to be honest, that's really all we did here. We went on a few walks to the beach, and there was this one hill that Jazzy loved jumping down. She kept running back up it just so she could jump off of it again. Cute. I though this place was just a bit of a filler, and I wouldn't go again I think. Down below are some photos of our stay, so take a peek. - Dog and Boy - - Water we going to do?!?! - CRIIIIIINGE - [ Insert wow sound here. ] - - Isn't she wonderful? -

Margaret River & Denmark. (Marge Simpson Likes "Carrets" and is in the Market for Dens.)

  Wow. You clicked on this?! With THAT title? Margaret River. Margaret River was all about wineries. I'm all good with platters and stuff, but wine... nuh nuh nuh. What I'm saying is, I usually find them just a pinch boring. So, instead of talking about Margaret River's pride, I'm just gonna talk about the other stuff that I found interesting. 'Cause it's my blog, I do what I want! If you wanted to hear about the wineries then read something else. ANYWAY, we were staying at a family owned ranch here, with sheepo, guinea pigo, and chickeno. I liked the guinea pigs. The noises they make are very cute. There's this one spot at the ranch that is just guinea pig CITY. They're under trees, sitting with chickens, under tables, on the ground, EVERYWHERE. 250 of them. Dad and I also went for a run/walk mixture late in the afternoon. We had to cross a river. Now obviously we both got our nice shoes wet and one of us  wasn't piggyback-ed to the other side. H...

One Step Down! Only 1,799 to go! [Busselton]

  That's One Long Jetty! Oh, and Volleyball is back! This RAC park was crazy. Mini golf, parkour course, cricket, BMX track, jumping pillow, playground, swings, volleyball court, basketball court, you name it! They HAVE it. Of course, we played volleyball. This time with a big net on some nice soft sand. Another family joined us so it was 3V3. Very fun. I think I would like to take up Volleyball, 'cause I do really like it. But the big special event was the bike ride to Busselton Jetty! The longest jetty in the world! Oh, never mind, there's a bigger one in Mexico. The longest jetty in the Southern Hemisphere. Okay, scratch that. There's a longer one in Queensland. The longest TIMBER jetty in the Southern Hemisphere! Whoo! The actual ride to the beginning was about 10 k's. But then the walk to the end of the jetty was 1.8 k's! A jetty! 1.8 kilometres! Made of timber! {Insert crowd clapping audio file here.} When we arrived back at the van, we had rode a total of...

Time To Tropichill! But at Perth this Time!

Image
  Da Beeg City WE. ARE. IN. PERTH. THIS IS SO PERTHECT!.. ... Gotchu. Perth is really amazing, restaurants, theme parks, no dogs, lovely walks - huh? No dog? Yeah, we had to have Jazzy the BogDog babysat for a week because the "resort" wasn't BogDog friendly. But the babysitter worked at Krispy Kreme and we scored some free doughnuts! Even though we love our BogDog, it was actually quite good having her babysat. It meant that we could explore and do things in the city without having to worry about her. Day One Survive Until 5:00 You are a guest at a theme park called 'Adventure World'. You will need to survive until the park closes and you get kicked out. You may just think to skip the rides, but if your fun metre gets too low, you will die. Good Luck. Okay, that made it sound like a horror game. Adventure World was actually really fun! We probably chose the WORST ride to go first, which was called the Goliath. It swung around but also spun. And it swung really hi...

Lobster go bye-bye. 😩 [Cervantes]

Image
  Volleyball! Finally! I don't remember doing that much at Cervantes. What I do remember is five things; LOBSTER. Volleyball . Pinnacles. Sand Dune Buggies. And I forgot what the fifth thing was. But it was a calm place to stay. The park was really nice, cool pool area - but you know how it is - we NEVER use the pool. Cervantes was all about lobster, really. We went to the 'Lobster Shack' for lunch one day. Mum and Dad had... guess... lobster. But I was really put off because you could see them in a tank being pulled out and killed... not that I would've liked them anyway... This was actually the first place on the trip where we used our volleyball that we brought. We have a little pop up net thingamajig and we had a good game! We also checked out the Pinnacles, this big yellow sandy area with some limestone rocks that stood up like buildings. Like, uh... pinnacles. We found some funny shapes in them and took some good pics. On the way to Perth, our next stop, we paused...

Rock. Paper. Horse! Rock smashes Horse, Horse eats Paper, Paper wraps Rock! [Kalbarri]

Image
  Oh, the views. The beautiiful views. Kalbarri was a mixture of beauty and rubbish. What I mean is, the place we stayed, a horse ranch, was NOT the highlight. No sir! What was, however, was the, you guessed it, the GORGES. The Kalbarri Skywalk was short, but pretty. It had a little kiosk where we bought some pies, and the large viewing platforms had, well, views! Nature's Window on the other hand, was a big walk. At the beginning, there's this iconic photo which everyone takes at this rock, but that's where most people turn back, like Mum - she decided to pass on the walk and was happy with her photos. Dad and I kept on going on the hike. The hike was about 10 k's, and had lots of variety. One moment you're spider-ing on rocks over a river, the next you're casually walking in the bush. I really loved it and it made up for the 5 k's that I didn't do the day before. We also watched the Grand Final here, or half of it anyway. We went to a pub to watch it, ...

I Think I Might Have A New Favourite... [Monkey Mia]

Image
  Okay, it's nice. But where's the monkeys? Monkey Mia. Delicious. Nom nom nom. Okay, but seriously, this place has 'resort' written all over it. Next to the beach? Check! Super nice facilities? Check! Has it's own bar? Yep! Alright, but only a true resort would have it's own cafe/restaurant. Well it does! The RAC Monkey Mia Resort was great. Like I just said, there's a bar and a cafe/restaurant, so there's no need to even leave the place to grab a meal. Did I mention that dolphins come up to the shore for a snack every day? It might as well be called Dolphin Dan, 'cause there ain't no monkeys! The dolphins were pretty awesome, though. Usually multiple would come up at a time, and they were so playful. You could see them looking at you, and they're kinda cute. We also went to a little lagoon called Little Lagoon... who doesn't love some literal naming? We didn't do to much there except talk to some folks, but I got to hang off the sid...
