The Richardson's Adventures

Our holiday to Western Australia was initiated from the idea of taking our boys on a extended holiday prior to starting school. We have been camping in tent's, and more recently we had a camper trailer for 3 years. While the camper trailer served us well ( over 30 camping trips ), we have upgraded to our off road caravan. The caravan makes life easier for the overnight stay, quick pack up, and it also has air conditioning. Our holidays have been booked for 2 1/2 years and we have been planning in some sort of fashion since. We have upgraded the car to give hassle free motoring, not to mention the great V8 rumble.

Broome (day IV)

Steve & Snap
A menacing male crocodile caught near  Derby boat ramp 1990.  Hmm, and we're going to Derby tomorrow.

Future Dentist
We surprised the boys and took them to the Malcolm Douglas Crocodile Park to see the reptiles up close and to watch them being feed.

The boys with Horris the camel

All aboard

Camel ride at sunset

Horris was our lead camel
We were chosen to lead the "Ships of the desert".  Jacob was very excited about that.  Horris was the oldest camel, "31yo male," and very temperamental.  Hmm, that sounds familiar.

Zachary fell asleep 
The sunset camel ride went for an hour.   Zachary fell asleep in the last 20mins of the ride.  Steven said, "lucky we didn't have to pay for the kids".
