At last we found a cheap campsite, where we are happy to sit for a week and save some money. Overlooking the water, Mike can launch the boat and we can swim and snorkel around the shallow reef. There is an abundance of fish, ranging in all sizes and colours. The water is warm but that southerly cool wind is still with us! Quite a big Tailor!
Over half the coral is dead due to the Europeans standing on it. I am surprised there is no sign on the beach. Where as fishing rules here are very strict. Luckily, Mike is onto it! With a howling southerly, we decided to pack up early & head back to Carnarvon. Restocked, I managed some retail therapy, caught up on what's happening around the world and vacated the next morning.
Six months down, we feel we are losing the grip on our $800 a week budget, here in WA,
Driving long distances between places, fuel is essential and expensive all the way!
Food bill has risen $50 a week, thank god for Woolworths liquor, we can still find cheap drink!
The caravan parks are $50 a night(kids $8-$10 extra)
Why not hide the kids? I hear you say. As soon as we stop, they run, scream, jump and play!
Luckily we have Zachary, (Kirsty named our van). Fully loaded, we last 4-5 days with the 4 of us.
It’s Mikes job to empty the toilet, he does a great job! He complains every single time, we girls just look at him, smile & nod.
We all have our moments, I’m sure you would agree. Living with 4 in a little caravan, it’s not that easy!
You might think, ‘I couldn’t do that every day,” But when you find that perfect spot, it’s here you will want to say!
As Mike sits in his camping chair, warming in the sun, he yells to me “Beer wifey?”.
“That was so good, I’m gunner have another one!”
