Well, we weren't quite so late getting back, it was just after 8 o'clock tonight. Tomorrow we're just doing a half-day so will have the afternoon for catching up with ourselves a little and - fingers crossed here - some photos! I have taken some, but the brain doesn't want to deal with them just yet.

Today we went to the Pinnacles, rock formations about 250 km north of Perth. We also stopped at New Norcia, which is a very interesting small town owned and run by Benedictine monks, the only monastic town in Australia. We also stopped at a wildflower farm where they have about 4000 acres of wildflowers they dry and sell, export etc. It's the end of the wildflower season so we didn't see a lot, but enough to get the idea that it must be very beautiful when they're in full bloom.

Very quick post now, it's 7 am and we're just about to head out for another day. Yesterday was very long, we didn't get back to the hotel until a bit after 11 pm - a bit late for me to be posting. We went to the treetop walk at Walpole, very beautiful but definitely scary. Photos next time.

Today we go to the Pinnacles, where I thought we were going yesterday. Looks like a great day for travelling, and shouldn't be so late getting back.

More tonight, I hope!

The only good thing I can find to say about flying is that it's quicker than driving! It's been a long day despite the fact that it's only 8:40 local time and we're ready for a good sleep. Nothing much to say about today, it's been spent getting here.

Tomorrow morning we head off to the Pinnacles, about 250 km north of Perth, reported to be a very spectacular place. The cameras are charged and ready to go, so fingers crossed for some good photos tomorrow.

The bed is looking good now, so I'm off there, more tomorrow night.

The night before leaving

I've just been packing for the 2009 holiday - hope I've remembered all the necessaries!

I hope you'll enjoy our travels, all I have to do now is keep up to date.

Next post will be from Perth, WA.
