Tony's Bend Camping - Nanga Brook, W.A.

Had a truly great weekend camping with some mates. We left early on Friday, pitched the tents and lit the fire. Soon we had a new Aussie mate too (Greg) who later joined us for dinner. Good bloke.

Yep, we were only staying one night, but this is what the bakkie looked like. Woes.

Quick stop in Dwellingup to text Gerhard, Willem and Simon.

Just a quick "chill" before we put up the tents. The fire is going, so Nickey was happy.

The fire is getting ever-bigger and my swag is starting to go up (background of the Gazebo).

Cornelius, Nicky, Greg (our new Aussie mate), Louis and I.

Tents being completed (two image pano).

Die Baas ;-)

Cornelius made it before sunset, and now we were really starting to chill-out.

Me at left preparing the braai-broodjies (with Apricot jam, ja).

It was getting quite dark, and Gerhard, Willem and Simon were nowhere to be seen.
Soon after this shot Louis and Nickey left to find them. No mobile reception; zero.

It was a spectacular windless evening. This photo is a 30-second exposure up into the trees and moon.

Steaks on the braai. This is an ISO6400 shot, thus the speckles of noise. Still, nice atmosphere in the photo.
The three young men had also rolled up at this stage.

Lekker man, lekker!

Starting the fire and getting ready to make breakfast on Saturday morning.

Pano of the camp.

Our resident wild man (wille pil), Nickey, munching on a T-bone for brekkie.



Die De Klerk broers maak bacon en roer-eiers. Was baie lekker!

Pa en seuns.

Almal se pense is lekker vol, en Willem skrik (?!) vir iets, haha!

Kleilat,....ek het dit seker 20+ jaar laas gesien!

Nickey (out of shot) throwing water at Willem....

Fire - Imagine life without it. Darem maar 'n lekker ding, en moeviese blessing van Bo.

So eenvoudig, maar tog so wonderlik, ne?! Ai, wens al ons pelle en familie kon ook nou saam met ons hier sit.

Araluen Garden & Canning Dam

Well, got up at 9am (lovely) and after a slow coffee decided to head out for the day. This despite the wet, cold weather forecast, but as is normally the case, it ended up being a good outing. Back home now with the fire burning and F1 free practise 3 about to start. Does it get any better?!
 
The roofed hut you can hire for birthday parties. As I was leaving the ranger was starting the fire.
How cool (excuse the pun) is that?


 
 
Karla with her latest hair colour. Crazy chick ;-)
 
 
Canning Dam, and seconds later the rain poured from the sky, resulting in a long dash back to the car. Fun!

Safely home...

Some early holiday snaps...very relaxing thus far,....aaaaah!

Hot Chocolate at Moore & Moore in Freo.

Having a good laugh while enjoying a burger at Missy Moo's in Freo.

Had a bath-check,  had her annual vaccinations-check, had dinner-check, sleeping in bed,
next to mum on her paws, being cute-check. It IS a dog's life!

Gene and Lily up to their usual playing.

Eugene is happy as Larry in his own cubby-house. Woollen carpet and blankets for the roof.


Having lunch while watching Foxtel Go in the cubby...Lily is waiting for some nibbles...

Home-made Chicken Korma pie. Dankie my lief!
