25th March

Well what a night last night was! After dinner we headed down to the Jetty to say goodnight to Sammy the sea lion and low and behold we met a couple who had not long ago been up in Darwin on a holiday! They have been travelling for three years!(older couple) and spent months up there fishing in all the locals spots and exp the real NT. They were very happy to talk to us but we all agreed that the weather might just about kill us when we get home as we have finally acclimatised to WA weather. Oh well have to re- acclimatise! hehe.

When we got back we put sleeping Olivia to bed and Sophie watching a DVD and I went to get the washing i had put on before we left. The first time i put it on i thought Bargin! only $2 but after putting the money in i discovered it was broken! Grrr so into another machine it went and when we got back from our walk i went to put it in the dryer (which was $1 for an hour) but it was being used. After about half an hour James told me that the other toilet block had them too so off i went to check, it took me two trips to fill the new dryer and away it went and went and went. At 10.30 i took it out and went to bed in a bad mood as my washing would stink to high heaven and need to be washed again by the time we reached Kalgoorlie! The dryer did not work and the washing was still wet wet wet! Luckily i woke in a better mood after kids slept most of the night and as it was a cool night the washing was in much the same condition but did not smell. I threw it all back into the original dryer and just before we were ready to leave picked up my lovely smelling dry washing! FINALLY!

We headed to Kalgoorlie and lost Trish and Jimmy in Norsman as they thought we were behind them and we thought they were in front. 45 minutes after we left Norsman Trish managed to get throu to us on the mobile saying are you all right we were just about to go to the police station and get them to see if they could catch you on the radio. Thought you must have broken down! So as they were an hour behind us we stopped for lunch at Kalbolder and had a swim in the local pool which the girls thought was the best thing ever!

Once in Kalgoorlie we went to check out the super pit which the girls thought was pretty cool and also some lookouts. Back at the caravan park the girls found some friends their age and played whilst dinner cooked. After dinner and bath we went back to the super pit to see it at night which was pretty cool as were the lights of the city.

Well off to bed now so good night everyone!
