cold bear from Melby feeling tired in warm weather

We are traveling around Western Australia for 3 weeks. So won't spend lotsa time here. But I hope you enjoy your Spring this October. Wish we could have Melbourne's weather in WA hey..

Places which we spent time so far..
3 days of INSANITY-marathon road trip from Melb-Norseman
- Stopover at Port Pirie (Bleh)
- Nundroo (Nundroo is located on the Eyre Highway 160 kilometres west of Ceduna and 347 kilometres east of the SA/WA Border.)
- Norseman (Be spending 3Nights2days with the family)
- Hopetown (Beautiful Sand and Beaches. Saw my first snake at 2 miles Beach. Eeek! Spent a night at the Seafront Caravan Park. We drove past Fitzgerald National Park on our way to Albany. Beautiful national park! So many wildflowers and blackboy!! :)
- Albany (more National Park. Giant Rock on the Sea. Blowhole which I couldn't see it..scared fell off from the rock..to the sea. W saw it though)
- Denmark (had a breakky there)
- Walpole (Treetop walk. It's all about trees. Valley of the Giants. Tree expects by now..spent a night at friendly backpacker.)
- Pemberton (Giant tree climb..not us. Too scared to climb that freaky tall tree. Ripped off fee just to enter the park and have a look at that freak. LOL)
- Busselton (Spent 4Days4Nights with MORE family)
- Dunsborough (some shop browsing and lunch.)
- Cowaramup (Some very cool shops here. Including Candy Cow.)
- Margaret River (shop till we did drop. Found the book I wanted! Went for a swim, FINALLY. Windy. Sunny. Icy sea water.
- Perth (HOT! Kings Park. Fremantle. Arty Farty market. Subiaco. 2 fantastic dinners in Subi. Saw some very neat houses at the West. Driving to beaches after beaches. Had a detour walking around the city. Still prefer Melbourne. :P)
- Norseman (Did my first golfing+my first fishing with the boys at Esperance. 3Days2Nights with family)
- Ceduna (Spent 1 night here. This place is not as spectacular as what we thought it should be compared to our first visit early of the trip. Sad..)
- Port Wakefield (Had to stop here. Very nice and comfy motel. The best and reasonable price by far!)
- Adelaide (Had a detour in the city for approx. 2 hours since both of us have never walk around Adelaide ever.)
- Hahndorf (A well preserved township with strong German origins. Very tourist place and I like it cuz it is something different. Plus, we were the tourists;)
Long way driving home (Melbourne). Arrived home at late Sunday midnight. :)
