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.

Geraldton

Zachary sneezed
Geraldton is famous for being windy.  It is so windy that the trees grow sideways.

HMAS Sydney II war memorial
The dome above us is made up with 645 birds, representing the lives lost in battle in 1941.


The waiting Woman Sculpture
Very emotional day.  Whether it be someones Father, Brother, Husband, Son, Cousin, there were 645 families and their extended families in one tragedy being told they had lost a love one. A Very VERY emotional day, having two boy ourselves, and war still surrounds us today.



HMAS Sydney II was only found in March, 2008

    The "waiting woman" is very touching Jenni..
