We are embracing retirement, and making the most of it.

We knew we were never going to sit still for long, so whilst we are happy and healthy we will be out and about seeing the world………… full time.

We are out of the fast lane and taking the slow road ahead

3 weeks later...

We are well, we are not bored but we are wondering how sustainable it is for us to remain here in the national park.  With restrictions remaining in place for a further 4 weeks, WA Premier is saying borders and movement within the state will be the last consideration. 

Our European friends have managed to arrange flights to Europe so left on Wednesday.  Now there are five....  we are going to consider getting back to Qld over the next few weeks, as we have now accepted that we will not be able to move further west then be in the northern part of the state before September. We are going to turn around and head back to Qld, we have no idea where to at this stage. Crossing states will be a challenge, but currently we can still get back into Qld.

So what have we been up to.... 

Climbing East Mt Barren, three inclines and two saddles






Fishing, still yet to catch a salmon


Wash day


Our camp ground




Hot showers


Our view


 Our beach


Beaches and walking trails within the National Park, we are exploring








We pop into town once/twice per week to top up on water, go to the dump point, empty rubbish, and get a few groceries.

Swapping books with our neighbours,  reading one every few days, already surpassing my yearly goal of one book per month, watch DVDs, Netflix movies, play cards and games, watch you-tube, face time grand kiddies


Partying with neighbours, we have all been here 3 weeks now, so shared a Farewell BBQ, mum and joey at the back, not left out


Building our version of a Canadian Inuksuk on our walk


Always trying to work out the variety of tracks we find on the beach,  any guesses!?




And still trying to spot this elusive bird


See, we are definitely not bored !!!  But it is very isolating, so a big thank you to family and friends for thinking of us and keeping in touch with us.
