Monday 18th December 2006...

Bit of a lie in and we were up by about 10. (Thankfully no hangover for Dave this time – must be the watered down beer they served at the cricket!)
Went into the city to pick up our hire car with Miles whilst Mandy packed our bag for the 1st of our road trips.
We (Just the 2 of us) hit the road by midday heading south towards Dunsborough. (Just near Margaret River) 3 hour drive and a Hungry Jacks burger later, we arrived at our accommodation. A converted railway carriage with en-suite, kitchenette, balcony and great views through the nearby forest – fantastic!
Drove down to the beach for a quick swim, sun-bathe and a drive around the headland. Beautiful clear blue/aqua waters with reefs a plenty!
Picked up a disappointing take-away on the way back to the carriage before sunset as we were told that the kangaroos might be around.
We went for a stroll armed with some pellet food, and lo-and-behold, we found ourselves feeding wild kangaroos – amazing experience. See flickr for just some of the photos.
Both on a real high and couldn’t stop grinning. Back to the carriage for a few games of cards, (Mandy fluked a 3-2 win at rummy) and then we were tucked up in bed nice and snug! (Never slept so comfortably on a train before!)
Night Night – more to come soon. (Only have diving, wine tours, swimming with sharks and much more sunshine to look forward to….. oh how we struggle)
