March

Just a quick post to pop some photos up. Mostly from the Blues and Roots festival we went to in Fremantle last weekend, where we saw Graveyard Train (an Australian band, really good), Ben Harper, Rufus Wainwright, Paul Simon, Steve Miller Band, Jimmy Cliff, Santana. We had such a good time, and didn't stop dancing from the minute we got there. It was definitely the most civilised festival we've ever been to though - especially as it all ended at 10pm, and everyone politely made their way home, rather than camping out!

In other news, we actually had a day of bad weather during the week. I mean grey skies, over 40mph winds, and fairly torrential rain. But not to worry, we're back to clear sunny skies again... (although it is starting to get noticeably cooler - perhaps 'winter' is on its way?!). We're off to Esperance for the easter weekend, and the forecast there is much chillier - max 22 degrees, min 11 degrees (Perth is set to be around 27), so will need to pack a few jumpers etc. Not quite the snow boots that seem to be required back home though...

Sunset at Lancelin (having watched some dolphins feeding in the bay) 

A still from a rather unexciting video clip of the dolphin at Lancelin - it was far more exciting in person, honest!

Surfers out at North Cott - it's getting to be surf season!
