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.

Easter Sunday



Easter Bunny's hidden treasure
The boys did the traditional Easter Egg hunt and followed the egg trail to the hidden treasure.


Easter Sunday


V8 SuperCar Transporter
We got caught out just before Broken Hill with our fruit and vegetables and the quarantine they have in the fruit fly zone.  We weren't going to throw out anymore food so we stopped to refuel in Yunta and did a big cook up with our left over vegetables.  The boys were eating all the left over fruit.  Whilst we refuelled and did our big cook up, two V8 SuperCars Transporters refuelled.  The driver came over with two V8 SuperCars - Ford caps for the boys.  GO THE FORDS!!

Leaving Broken Hill this morning we had a long day travelling from New South Wales over the border into South Australia.  Just west of Port Augusta (40k SW) we stayed on a working sheep property named Nuttbush.  Due to the Easter holidays, we miss out on the sheep shearing by two days.  The boys Grandparents, neighbours have sheep and they get shorn every Father's day.  We were fortunate to be able to get the only grass site.  The facilities are great.

    HAPPY EASTER!! Looks like you have had a fantastic easter and the bunny found you! Abbie wants me to write down a message she has for Jacob and Zachary so here goes "Happy Easter and don't forget to take pictures to show me when you get back. I went to see Hop today at the movies and I liked it. I went on the jumping pillow when I went to see grandma and grandpa. I loved the picture of you feeding the giraffe and you must be having so much fun there. I saw rio the movie another day too. I love you and pinky loves you too." So she has decided that is all she has to say for now. Thank goodness as I thought I might be writing all night!!! Look forward to more updates soon!
