    Nundroo is a shit hole, shoulda stopped at Fowlers Bay for the night and had a play on Scott's beach the next morning.

    p.s. did the old duck at the Nundroo road house hit on you two? :lol3

    Just heard from Nazza, her and Sue have made it to Belladonia and heading to Fraser range. They will be back on the net in a few days.

    Thanks S.

    A brief moment of net. At Norseman and about to hit the dirt for two days. Having a ball. Fraser Range Station is beautiful. We did some tracks yesterday.

    We changed our minds (as is our prerogative as women lol) and went to Esperance. I haven't written about it yet but I am struggling with what I assume is carpel tunnel issues. My hands and wrists are getting very numb and burning after riding much, worse on dirt. Will need to get it looked at soon. Plus we are both slow on dirt and missing the coast.

    We didn't see much of Esperance but I will probably go back sometime soon. I am in S WA for 3 - 5 months.. who knows maybe longer.We stayed with Rick and Evelyn last night. They are fantastic hosts and what a lovely family they have! Thanks guys!
    I will be starting to look for work and a place to live after next weekends rally. It is quite scary! I am glad that the forum means while I will be alone I won't be totally. I would love to find work in a small town near the beach where I can beach comb and snorkel and fish. And a cabin or something I can live in, it won't need to be flash as I am used to a tent. :D Open to ideas.. I am in online marketing, seo, web dev by trade but happy to work in a pub, reception, sales, farm, whatever!

    Naz. You should head over towards Margaret river. There should be plenty of casual work over there this time of year.

    Margaret River, Augusta, Dunsborough, Busselton, Bunbury. They will all be looking for casual staff for the holiday season. After then you will probably have more idea what you want to do in WA. We're a big state.:1drink

    Lol yeh but he heard we drink too much :evil Nah I am going to wait until after the rally then I might have a clearer idea of what I want to do. If I go ask him now I could end up committing and missing something else I guess. I do love this place though. :D

    We are now in North Freo at Sue's mates place. It is a lovely area and I got to take the dog for a walk.. yay, normalcy. (plus I found a bottlo)
    I am here till Friday, then off to Bully's house and riding with him and whoever else to the rally on Saturday. :D Then after that I have no idea.
    Sue has a wedding to go to on the weekend and then is heading to Denmark. We might catch up down there somewhere.
