42 yesterday about 21 today, stinking mongrel north west wind and today a cool breeze and hissing down with rain
the cyclone off the kimberley coast has stretched it's tentacles right across the centre of aust. to reach us all the way down here, how amazing is that, thousands of kilometres away across the arid outback right down to the sea and affects us here

I have to admit....I don't like the 42 degree stuff.

No matter how much of this great country you may think you have seen she will throw something new your way.

February in Perth can get a bit on the warm side so we are heading down to Albany in the South West. Hopefully it will be a bit cooler there, then we are planning to head North around the end of march early April.

I love a sunburnt country, a land of sweeping plains, --of rugged mountain ranges, of draughts and flooding rains, I love her far horizons I love her jewelled sea, her beauty and her terror, the wide brown land for me. Dorathea McKeller

Don't mind the heat, don't mind the Melbourne winter, we can always head north. This is without any doubt in my mind the most amazing place on the planet. We've done bit of travelling and seen a few countries. Yes, they all have varying views and scenery but we have the same views and scenery here only better. Even the boring bits are brilliant!

cant remember how many times we have "been around" or inland or west or east, each and every time is a wonder in itself, never get tored of it!
we've been overseas a wee bit to see the "natural" beauty therein but it cant compare!
elbe that one sorta sums it up!

Right now I would love to get one of those MotorHome relocations and deliver it to Darwin. I am longing to see all those empty riverbeds that we saw last year in the Kimberly which would now be raging rivers, the sheets of water everywhere, green grass shooting....ahhh heaven.

yep I'm traveling but unfortunatley it's just round and round, but each round has it's benefits, I'm just passing the gum tree lined little creek that is flowing now, so that means beetaloo reservoir is full, there are birds and all sorts of wildlife at its banks
then I top the hill and my vista is the magnificent gulf and the triple citys, I round the bottom bend and I gaze at the fantastic flinders ranges absolutely mindblowingly beautifull if we only take the time to sit and actually look! what an office!!
you wont regret the motorhome relocation, we were pushed a bit for time but the time could be extended for a small fee and thats what would do next time, there are a heap of them, one to be returned from sydney to perth, now there's a trip!
we are talking about heading up to uluru again next year sometime, another group want to go up, we are heading to the rockies in june/july so it will be before or after that, probably before
current external temp 23degs, fantasmagorical day!

Best country on the planet, wouldn't be dead for quids, or anyplace else for that matter.
