K-Town

get ya big toys, bank accounts full and welcome to Karratha, OMG as I was driving into the town and passing hte gass plants and mining roads my mouth was wide open with amazement and their lil accomodation.. then as I drove into town my mouth dropped even furher, Big boats, flash houses its was off the chain.
 I got the Karratha a day early to catch up with some old friends from Alice days, Katy and Tristan, but seemed to forgot we met in Alice and I was his wing  women in him getting together, But i quickly reminded him, But it was great to see them and I crashed their farewell party too which was fun filled full of shots
Starting the party off with Jelly Shots, and more jelly shots, Cow boys, Jelly Shots, Squashed frogs, Punch n lots of it, then a yager bomb... = I hit the wall and crashed n burned with my hangover not until last sat arvo...
I crashed at katy n tristan place as this was their final days in K-town before heading to hobart (Chilly dog) But it was sooo good to see them and catch up after 3 years. But it was their time to leave their house and I was off to find a caravan park that is a little in my price range.

I headed to Dampier and got a sweet lil place on the beach for 24 bucks a nite, compared to 45-50bucks its was gold. So I set up and have just chilled for the last few days, However I did go and see RED DOG.....  and went for a 1hr walk and 1kr bike ride, my ass is getting larger in size from all the driving and chillaxing I am doing.

So If u want to make some cash its Pilbara is the place to be, BOOMING BOOM BOOM!! money everywhere, but due to rental being so expenisve, all the shops and retailers have house to accomdate the staff which is pretty cool, just like my times on buller. But if ur in the mining game ur pretty sweet.
I just cant  get over the coin flying around up here. It is a pretty amazin place though, ruggered country meets the ocean, i really love our country.

So as wel know how bloody red n characol I got the other day... then next stage is hte itchyness of ur skin getting ready to peel, and I must say getting the itch in Kmart was not cool and I am sporting a thousands ant bites and look werid because my hand was up my dress having a real scratch (on the side of my legs not near my bum) But itchy mumma,

Well tomz sees me set on the road again, another 3days of driving to get to broomeoits, but before then Port hedland to catch up with some gurlies from skool.... lets the good times role...

Just like I think i said early in my trip, this  trip is all about reconnecting with friends from the past and re igniting the friendship and making new friends along the way..

Emouth

My time here in exmouth has been a fun filling interesting one.
As I arrived her in the late monday arvo as expressed my outrage of caravan prices...

Tuesday I was set to not do anything, but i was like a kid in a candy shop and could not sit still, so I went driving and found a beach for me, I only spent 3 hours there but holy redness.... I was in a world of pain... My ass and the back of my legs and inner thighs got the better of it.... OUCHY no sitting slept nakered because undies hurt the red. But I must say the water was sooo good, I saw some turtles its was pretty cool.

So Wednesday was the day of doing nothing because it hurt to much to move my body, so i started reading a book i bought in Freo.... sat under a shady tree and did not move, only when the sun was coming to get me.... But by the afternoon I was itchy feet again, so I got a some drinks, a snack pack of chips n dips and sat up at the lighthouse and watched the sun go down, it was amazing, so many whales splishing n splashing and as the sun went down I was just so blissgfully happy. i got home had a maddd nose bleed, I was waiting for them to come as the temp is dry heat and my nose loves it... (NOT).

 but early to bed as to I was off I ready to put my skin in the sun and go snorkling, but i knew the sun would heat up, so I was on the road half 7 and charging... forgeting where i was stopping I ended up at torquise Bay (MUST GO) i got there before anyone else was, went for a walk up and down the beach scoped it out then off i went into the water and saw some awesome fishys then i sat n chilled for a while before the crowd came, and it was action packed, but i went for another snorkle went out further this time some a baby shark... and heaps more fishy.. but before too long it was 12.30 and I had a 1hr drive ahead and the sun was burning me... burning...

Afternoon of chillaxing before the sun goes down and then its time to start packing up the rigs and get ready for a drive tomz..... not sure where I am stopping somewhere between here and Karratha

What a magical drive

Well today I was off to Coral Bay and OMG it is Heavan, its just soooo magical a  place to escape from... But along the way I did stop before i reached that place of magic, to have a cuppa tea, and I saw beastly emus on the road and mind u It did a massive poo poo on the road...

And I did hit the singing a little hard today, first I have fruit tingles as my mircophone before the tempation got the  better of me , and the sunscreen became my mircophone... singing to louder than the music so I could hear my own tone deaf voice.... yup yup...

Got to coral bay 'feel in love with the land even more' went for a lovely walk, then got my little snack pack and had my lunch on the beach with a few swimms before it was time to get to exmouth...

Another 155km or so and when I got into town it reminds me alot like Alice but with an surrounding it but OMG  people if u want to come the the west coast and experince GET A Bloody good paying job, u are looking at 45bucks a nite got e powered site thats for 1-2 ppl, and if u got kidds add 40bucks more... (BULLSHIT) disgust me in the way people go camping as its the 'cheaper option' not anymore ladies and gentlemen TOURSIM AUSTRALIA NEED TO WAKE UP - same price for 10days to thailand is the same price as 4 days camp style.... WTF....

Thermos!!

Another massive day of driving in big tez n vinny in tow.... Man the sun had some bite in him, and I even put sunscreen on 3 times and I got sun stroke.... i was downing  the water n my face was red.. bring on the freckles... (NOT), but they are coming out in rage....

The best thing today besides our awesome counrty was my THERMOS.... omg I can't believe I have gone all this time with out one, i picked it up on Gero, and got it cranking today, I stopped has a snack bar and hot  myMilo.. sooo stoked...

Stopped a few time with Thermos, hehe

I think I was as bitch today... I was bliinking twice to let the car go pass, but it was a chick drive and then she just wouldnt pass, then finally she passed me and said thanks for the blinking, and I must have a blank face on my face she stopped talking to me... didnt mean too but oh well, this come to my next chick driver...
Now I know I am  a chick and driving, but it honestly comes down to bloody common sense...so 2nd chick right up my ass, so I blinked her as there was no cars, 3-400 m later she decides to go, with a corner and a car coming up.. (DICK HEAD) so I have to slam my breaks on and she didnt even put her foot down, sooo if I didnt brake OMG  who knows... and who cares if u go over the speed limit no one is going to get you as ur in the middle of bumfuck and I was only doing 85km so she would not even needed to speed to pass me... COMMON SENSE.

Well i did make it to Carnarvon, nothing to write home about i dont think, but at this point I was a charcol person in my car.. but i have made a flipped coin descion in my head, that I am gonig to Exmouth for 4 days, cheaper on c. parks and then I can sit n chill on the beach snorkling and tan that rig of mine,

So tomz its off to coral bay then exmouth...... with my THERMOS yeah BOI ;)

KALBARRI

Day 2 got off onto a much better start, No Flat battery and the sky was clear the morning was fresh and I was ready.... after a hot n cold sleepless nite..

Today there was no flat battery and I was off to Kalbarri...
Another short drive and I stopped into Geraldton to get a few supplies and there was this guy standing in line  but left his  groceries as a mark to go get some ice... Mate i dont think that counts.... person I am didnt want to mess with the locals and let him back in...

Then on the road again singing songs..... and then all of a sudden my road trip was action packed with many old vintage cars  heading the other way.. mind u I waved to every one of them and not one waved back, I tell u my road abuse has started again if u dont wave... the verbal starts..

But I made it the Kalbarri and the coast line is spectacluar... I saw some dolphins, whales and I also remembered what Flies are like. OMG PESTKY THINGS.... I found the caravan park, unhitch and omg claiming it on HOW GOOD I DID, reversed and straight in , no dramas... FIRST TIME for eveything...

The after i went bush and big tex n I put hte 4WD in and went out to the windows something (in Kalbarri national park) but OMG is was another amazing  part of our land... got a pic of me in the window. then I was like hit the wall time and went to the park, got on my pushy with a couple of drinks and headed to the beach to tan the rig and watch the sun set.......

Slow start to the 6500km I am faced with

today saw me leave Perth, this was my longest stint in any one place 2months, and gotta says, I found it very hard to get going. But this trip  is on over till I pull back into my parents driveway and Christmas.

Yesterday I got my hair done, Caught up with a mate from skool which has been like over 10years, which was awesome and he introduced me to HOT/COLD  if u dont know what it is u have to go to Hillarys Boat Harbour in WA and try it out... Then I needed to get stuck packing and load up. Samuel Lukie cam over and helped me out with my stove as it was a bit broke. I packed up my gear and was all ready to hit the road early birds this morning.................

BUT.....................

this did not happen, big tex let me down he had a flat battery... man wasn't I one angry lady, but like Talia said ' least it happened in Perth not in the middle of the Kimberlys'... so true.  After the RAC man came and fixed it and got BIG TEZ running I was off and roaring....

I went to the Pinnacles and OMG so amazing the colour and the shapes and they had a  4km drive round but I had to unhitch...  So I walked the 4km, with my  shoes off and enjoyed the twinkle in my toes and the magical colours, until Yas told me that scorpains live out there... I did not think of that did I.
After my walk it was time to hit the road a bit more to Jurien Bay, but the caravan park was full so I have ended up in a place called Green Head, nice beach place...

So there u go the blogs will be back, month of non stop action packed adventure and fingers crossed no more battery flatting...

Grandparents

Well the grand parents arrived to Perth town and got to see the west coast...
The first week they stayed in the city which I crashed on their couch one night after our big night out on a crusie boat... I think grandma had the bigger night, bottle of red send the women drunk... But good times.
After their action packed wk whilst I was working hard, we checked out of the city and headed to scarbourgh beach to our fancy apartment...
I could have easily got used to the apartment just like that with a click of a finger but as all good things do sometimes come to a end, This week flown.

I took grandma down to the beach to dipp her toe in the Indian Ocean, had a dinner date at sizzlers before watching RED DOG.... great movie, great day and nite. Jack said it was too cold to go outside so he watch his sport all day long, which suited him fine.

Sunday came round so fast and it was time to put them on the train and wish them farewell. They were very nervous lol but all is well... This sunday also meant I only have 5 days left in Perth before I hit the road.
