Day 3 Wk 1 Tuesday. This town was quite a surprise. Lovely beaches and a nice rustic caravan park, with some new ablution blocks. Sheltered site. We enjoyed our stay here. We did some shopping,forgotten stuff, ie; aeroguard and freezer bags. Day 4 Wk 1 Wednesday. While packing up, Dave lost his wedding ring, when it flew off his finger when he was putting up the awning, he didn't notice it was missing until we were hooked up and with someone else was waiting to go on the site. Although we all looked for it we didn't find it, Dave didn't...

Sarahs gone Walkabout

Dec 28, 2008 - Hopetoun

Woke at 5.45am, dressed etc and then collected Heidi for a walk. We went for a walk along the tourist path close to the beach. Then we bought our coffees from the Bay Merchant. Heidi kindly offered to have the kids at her place whilst Sean and I packed. We were packed in record speed and were doing well till Sean did not listen and closed the awning in the wrong order again and we had to go on search for an allen key...thanks Tails!!! We said our farewells and again sadly left Albany. Looking for a petrol station towing a caravan is not...
