Western Australia

Evie and Archie trying to decide which way to go on the 'bush tucker tour'

Bet you didn't know I had my own vineyard

The best place for them!!!

Not sure if you can see who the kids are shooting, poor mummy.

I think the joey on the right knew who had it and kept trying to escape.

Tree top and under tree walk.

My attempt at an artistic shot. We were actually feeding wild stingrays that came into the beach. They were amazing at least 6 foot across, but very gentle.

I need a little more puff than I used to!!

Halls Gap

A very happy surfer dude and chick!!

Archie rock climbing at St Kilda festival, he loved it as he could climb as many times as he wanted and the wall had a hooter at the top!

Finally the top after a long hard slog, but well worth the view.

Even Rachael managed it!!!

Long time no update

 Sorry we have not posted for such a long time but it has been really busy. Anyway a few of our Christmas and New Year snaps are below

 Traditional christmas

 Non traditional Christmas

 Archie obviously liked this present!

 We seemed to spend a lot of time on the computer skyping, in fact i thing we managed three computers at he same time at one point.

This is proof That they do get on sometimes, at least for the camera anyway. It was taken at Mount Gambier in S Australia where we went for new year

Evie posing for the camera, a new and worrying trend

 The usual archie pose

A regular book worm

After a day at the beach

Rachael so enjoys looking after the kids at the beach

Archie new sport, sand surfing on a body board

Some poor unfortunate people who had an interesting sift to arrive back to after a day out.

Rachael helping to drive home in her usual way.

Our first christmas in Oz

Rachael and the kids getting into the christmas spirit. It was very odd being so warm but we made the most of it and went down to the beach. David and Laura came over as well making it a bit of a family occasion. We did do the old roast turkey and even managed yorkshire puddings at the kids request but it is a lot of work in this heat.

The end of the season for the new netball team, they had a thrilling 6-6 drawn to end with.

Prize giving for netball

Have you ever seen such a shepherd filled with mischief.

The motley crew tasked with looking after the sheep.

A few pictures of the kids having surfing lessons, the new sport!!

Archie putting it all into practice!

Getting ready for christmas

Rachael and I enjoying a glass of vino without the kids

Archies great catch, he caused quite a stir with this. All the other anglers had never seen a flathead caught at Barwon Heads before and especially not such a big one

Evie and Archie enjoying some makeshift musical instruments and the local festival 

Rachael getting the kids excited, not that they need any help with that

Evie's netball team, last game of the season was a 6-6 thriller!!

The netball team down the beach with their trophies

A rather naughty shepard

The christmas dance!!!
