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.

Hervey Bay

Hervey Bay
We surprised Grandma and Grandpa and arrived on Sunday rather than Monday.  The boys were beside themselves and had SOoooo much to tell G'ma and G'pa.  It has been great to catch up with family.  Gran and Pop were expected, but Pop pulled ligaments in his back poor dear.


Jen, Jacob and Zachary



    
Both Jacob and Zachary had a sleep over in G'ma and G'pa's caravan. 

Jen & Steven
Steven and Jen took off for the day and had lunch at a little French patisserie, walked along the jetty.  We ended the night at a lovely chinese restaurant and then finished with a movie, "Red Dog".  Which we might add, we drove past the Red Dog memorial twice when we were in Dampier for the day.  The movie bought back fond memories of the Pilbara, Western Australia.
