After a very pleasant day yesterday cycling around Rottnest Island (only to discover the not-so-elusive quokkas right by the entrance and restaurants), we have now picked up the van and after discovering a problem picked up a second van and headed off down south with bacon sandwiches provided by our fantastic host.
A 3hr easy drive south got us to Yallingup where we saw whales migrating south for summer off of Cape Naturaliste, saw plenty of beautiful white sand/turquoise sea bays, and picked up some tasty meat which we then cooked up on the communal campsite BBQ - such a great idea!
I had details of my offer for work through so it's all falling into place and after a bit of misunderstanding it looks like Phil will be sponsored on my visa, so he can go off and apply for any job that takes his fancy! Also checked with a friend employed by the same firm but in Melbourne and it seems we've had similar offers so that's reassuring.
Now enjoying a bottle of scuttlebutt Margaret river Shiraz - "very drinkable" according to wine connoisseur Phil.
Tomorrow we're planning on jumping in the sea and drinking more wine, probably in that order. Richard (our ever so generous host) has written up a 10 day itinerary for us so we've got our journey all mapped out, so not much to do but chill out and soak up the sunshine. We're finally managing to relax now I think!
