Contact Has Been Made! [Coffin Bay]

Image
  Ahhh! I’m so excited! For so long, the four only had each other, no other friends to chat to in person, no other family to hug, until… Ello. I liked Coffin Bay. Not because of the actual place, though it was nice, but because of what we did there. One of my brothers, Taylor, and his girlfriend, Shannon, met us here! At the time of writing, they’re actually still with us. It’s been really good to finally see people who we know in person. I’ve been loving this trip, but the last few weeks I have been a little… peoplesick? Is that a word? I don’t know. Probably not. While we were here, the five of us did an oyster tour, where we put on these waders and walked in the bay over to a pontoon. Once we were there, we learned about, shucked, and ate oysters. Though I may have not done the last one. Maybe some day.  We’ve been playing Up & Down The River every night, which has been really fun, and I’ve also put on this really nice jumper which for some reason I haven’t worn at all, though y

Streaks on the Bay! [Streaky Bay]

  Bay of the streaks Hm. Streaky Bay. I don’t know what to think of this one. We didn’t do that much, but the things we DID do were pretty cool, or should I say cute? SEA. LIONS. ARE. VERY. ADORABLE. We watched them chilling on the beach from high up on a hill, and they are so cute. They’re all just lying around on the rocks, on their tummy, on their back, on their side. Either way, so cute.  They’d be hit by waves on the beach, but couldn’t be bothered to move, so they would stay there. Until finally, after being hit by lots of waves, he decided to get up and move… 5 steps, then flopped back down. They’re so lazy in the cutest way possible! Also, it may not have seemed there was that many of them, but if you really look, we found 63 of them all relaxing on the beach. What’s a shame is that they are very picky animals, so they’re endangered not because of humans, but just because of their own bad habits! But I’m not gonna talk about that, so if you’re interested then look it up yoursel

Let’s Roll! [The Nullarbor]

Image
  Do you like golf? The Nullarbor. It was hyped up by a lot of people, but it wasn’t THAT great, if you ask me. It was cool driving over this massive road of… nothing. But it wasn’t as long and grand as I thought. The first night, we stayed at CockleBiddy Roadhouse, where we first discovered something funny. Just for funzies, every single roadhouse on the Nullarbor has a golf hole! Making the worlds longest 18 hole golf course, which stretches over 1,365 kilometres! We, er, didn’t play. The second night we were staying at Bunda Cliffs, some cliffs. Some crazy people were camping right on the edge  of the cliffs, but I’m allergic to falling onto hard rocks being thrashed by deadly waves from a four story building high cliff, unfortunately. So we parked a little further away. It was quite nice, we just sat down, had some sausages, watched a fire, patted BogDog. All was good. I’m case you were wondering, yes, there is a fruit quarantine station, but thankfully, they let you actually cross

Oof. This is awesome. [Esperance]

  RAC really outdid themselves this time. Okay, so I know the last two blogs have been a bit, er, short and boring, but to tell the truth, I really didn't have much to say for those locations! Esperance, however, is a different story. We stayed at an RAC park, which always have a reputation for being really nice. This park did NOT ignore that reputation. The camp kitchens were so lovely, we actually used  them! Can you believe that? Us - use the camp kitchen! Incredible! Oh, and the pool is warm for once. I'm actually writing this in the camp kitchen. Esperance has some fantastic beaches, on our first day, which should really be a travelling day but we came a day early, we drove around a loop which showed off all the beachs. Blue Haven, Salmon Beach, Twilight Beach, this beach, that beach, oh mah gawd there's a lot. All of them, however, were magnificent! Rocks, cliffs, SAND, they have it all! We had Subway for once in long time here, and I had forgotten HOW GOOD those Subw
