Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Hi everyone,

Hope you all had a great christmas. Luke and i celebrated in Perth, living it up in a hotel in the city. We spent a very hot christmas at the beach with fish and chips and a bottle of champas. We will be heading to Maragaret River today after spending two days in Busselton, a very nice place with a jetty that stretches 1.8km. We will download some photos in the coming days.

From exmouth we travelled to Coral Bay and stayed right on the water in a nice caravan park. It was then on to Denham/shark Bay where we visited Monkey Mia and saw the dolphins being fed. Geraldton was passed through for a night before we stopped at Cervantes where we saw the Pinnacles at sunset and encountered our first semi-road kill on the way home. Unfortunately it missed the nudge bar and the quarter panel copped it. The kangaroo must have been pretty tough as it hopped away when Luke went to give it a love tap.

Anyways, have a happy New Year! We will.

Loz n Luke :)

A happy and scary moment!
This black tip didn't want to
stay still. There were bigger
ones circling our liv baits. Hooked
up to a couple but broke our lines
off.

This one didn't get away! Luke
caught this at night. Measuring
1.7m this black tip was put back.

Jumping off an exmouth pier.
Water is crystal clear and the
perfect temp

Finally! Plenty of fish dinners.
The trevally is 56cm and four
emperors about 30cm. Caught
from the zodiac

Ningaloo reef. 5m from the
shore, shallow enough to see
it all snorkelling. Saw a few
sharks, white tip this time.


Just hanging around

Absolutely love this photo of

Luke looking through a cave

opening.

Went turtle watching last night.

This is their breeding season.

As you can see from the pic below

we saw absolutely everything

One experience we'll never forget!

Broome to Point Samson

JUst a quick note on what we have been doing. We worked for a week on a cattle station called Pardoo. 500,000 acres and 5000 head of cattle. We didn't do too much with the cattle though as they only get mustered anually. Our jobs included moving the sprinklers on the quad bike, mowing, cleaning, maintenance etc. We got paid pretty well on top of our keep. There was a chef there, cookie, who was employed by a mining company as Pardoo is also a pace for the miners to stay. Her meals were awesome. A good break from cooking also. The temp barely dropped below 40 in the day and last WEdnesday it topped 43. Very hot when working outside.

The experience was awesome and the people we met couldn't be nicer. On one of the arvos after work, Luke and i took the quad bike to the beach via a very sandy 4wd trail. Lots of fun andd lots of cattle, Kangaroos and other wildlife.

I will attach some photos when we get to a better computer.

Point Samson is nice. Great swimming, still no surf. Great snorkelling, saw turtles, fish and rays. Been fishing quite a bit. Hooked on to a big one last night but it snapped us of afer about 5 mins. Will go back tonight. Will headto Dampier tomorrow.

LOve loz
