Plenty of wine tasty :) and a dead whale :(

View from the camper

View first thing in the morning

Still not seen any kangaroos, so got excited when seeing a sign for them; my beady eyes on lookout. 3 dead ones spotted though on the side of the road; not exactly what I was expecting?! Very sad for my first sighting. Freezing cold 1st night in the campervan but part of the reason was discovered at 7:45am when we got up to see the passenger door open, oops!.. At least nothing was stolen. Anyway, we left Collie to head to [[Australia/Margaret-River]] and after stopping at many wineries along the way (Chris of course spitting his out until I start driving!) we didn’t make it!

About to blag our free tasters

But still had a great day stopping occasionally along the coast and enjoying the fantastic scenery, but also saw a dead whale which was pretty sad.

Too many dead things seen today, but still an awesome day!

We set up camp in a little forest for the night and luckily the Ranger didn’t come along so it was free and we started a BBQ to keep warm and save our gas, we didn’t have any meat to put on there though unfortunately, but Chris still cooked a delicious warming dish of corned beef, carrots, onions, potatoes and baked beans.

Our first BBQ

Our yummy feast!

Then we tucked up in bed to watch a film, blissfully unaware it was only 7pm!
