bushfire.io

An excellent app to read the bushfire situation. 

Today a large bushfire east of Perth dimmed the sun. Looking at bushfire.io it seems that highway 40 might be closed.

Sunny at last

After weeks and weeks of clouds and rain- a bright sunny day at the Busselton beach.

Kite repair

At Busselton beach. The kite was missing a spar and the central joint was broken. From my caravan repair kit I took bamboo skewers, glue and zip ties to make repairs.

It worked and the kite fly over the Indian Ocean but it suffered a crash and the substitute central joint broke again.

Time for a new kite.

It was a dark and stormy night....

One of the most famous sentences in English and not originally by Snoopy.

We have reached Albany and I am mixing a Dark and Stormy.

Blue tongue

Blue tongue lizards like to the cross road just like shinglebacks.

We saw quite a few today.

Fifty Thousand

Driving back to camp the Mazda CX-5 passed 50 thousand kilometres. 

It has been a reliable vehicle. 

Point Ann

We drove to Fitzgerald River National Park today.

We saw many wildflowers in the wild, a few lizards and a few birds. 

At Point Ann there is a beautiful beach  with whale watching platforms. We saw some Southern Right Whales in the distance - too far away for a photo.

The adjacent camping area looked good for a camp but there are no toilet facilities in the camp area.
