It's a Trailer Park Life

Last Sunday we returned to Perth to pick up our new home for the next 2 weeks – a ginormous campervan. WE LOVE OUR NEW HOME! In fact, it’s a little scary how much we love it. It’s so much fun, roomy, but also quaint. Aimee especially likes the organizational aspect, particularly, how everything in the van has its own designated space. Our new house on wheels is equipped with a kitchen, bathroom (toilet/shower), living area, which converts to a huge bed at night, and plenty of storage. It’s like camping, but without the bugs (Lynn, think “cottaging” on wheels – you’d love it!).





We took our big blue van on a road trip to northwestern Australia in pursuit of wind. We found ourselves back in Lancelin where we met a really swell couple from Israel. We’ve been following each other up the northern coast and settled in a small city called Geraldton, four hours north of Perth where we’ve spent the last bunch of days. Geraldton, with a population of 26 000 is the second largest city (after Perth) in Western Australia! Along the way, we’ve found ourselves in some tiny towns (i.e., ones that don’t register on the GPS). Nevertheless, each town had its own, special beauty…

Jurien Bay





The sand on the beaches of WA is some of the finest and whitest sand in the world



Chris had a few great days of windsurfing on the northwest coast in the beautiful, turquoise swells of the Indian Ocean…

Stoked to finally be in WA!

Consistently windy conditions on the west coast



After some great wind, we left the northwest and headed south to begin our journey along the southwest coast of WA. We plan to visit beautiful Margaret River, known for its famed wineries and spectacular surf and hopefully make it as far south as Esperance, which is said to have some of the most beautiful beaches in Australia.

Cheers!
