Merry merry and oh so happy

Hi there all the beautiful people....we finally made it to Margaret River..Hooray!!! We did 3300 kms in just two weeks from Coober Pedy and had THE most amazing adventures along the way. Have got soooo many photos to update on our blog but will just give you all a little run down first. We left Coober Pedy and our awesome friends Elissa.Rowie And Zac ...was a bit sad to go cause we had such an out of the box experience there and made memories that we will all cherish for a lifetime. Side splitting..tummy turning...heart warming...undie wetting kinda memories. All in such a short time...xxx. Onward bound to the coast line of South Oz yet again. Next penninsula to explore was the Eyre penninsula as we have already checked out the Yorke,Fleurieu and Mornington penninsulas.Ruling IT!!!! First stop was Arno Bay where we picked up 3 dozen freshly caught and unshucked oysters for a crazy 7 dollars a dozen. So we enjoyed oysters every which way.It  was mine and the kidz first time to the beach and ocean in 8wks!!!! OMG. Will sign off for now as i am preparing a thai beef salad and zucchini fritters for our Sunset dinner on the beach here at Prevally. Due to massive photo update the following shots are from our time still in Coober Pedy..Make sure you check out all down loads cause there will be a few until we catch up to now. Sending you all massive amounts of love n joy....sunshine ...lollipops and rainbows. Happily everafters...livin the dream.

AWESOME FUN IN COOBER PEDY

NO TRICK PHOTOGRPHY HERE...ZIGGY IS JUST A FREAK SHOW AT THE COOBER PEDY SKATE PARK..PLAIN AND SIMPLE!!!

ONE OF MY FAVOURITES...SIMPLY BECAUSE THE TYRE MARKS ARE STILL THERE...WHAT THE????

GETTING ARTY NOW....OUT ON THE SALT FLATS OF LAKE HEART.

THE SIGN SAYS IT ALL!!!

ANYONE FOR A SPOT OF AFTERNOON GOLF ON THE FRONT LAWN...????? OR SHOULD I JUST SAY OUT THE FRONT. JUST ONE OF COOBER PEDYS PAST TIMES.

AND OF COURSE...DINNER WOULDNT BE COMPLETE WITHOUT A BREAD ROLL MADE WITH LOVE!!!

AH....NOW WERE GETTING DOWN AND DIRTY...REALLY...INTO AN OLD MINE SHAFT . THIS IS JUST FOR US TOURISTS TO LET US KNOW WHERE THE SHAFTS ARE....THE OTHER GAZILLION OPAL SHAFTS HAVE ONLY A MOUND OF DIRT TO WARN YOU OF POSSIBLE IMMENENT DEATH SHOULD YOU HAPPEN TO COME ACROSS ONE.

 IF YOUR LOOKING UP AND SEEING THIS, YOU HAVE EITHER DIED AND NEED TO GO THE LIGHT ....OR...YOUR INSIDE AN OPAL SHAFT...WE WENT WITH THE LATTER.

""WERE GOIN DOWN.......WAY WAY DOWN.....TO THE UNDERGROUND.."..WHOEVER WROTE THAT SONG MUST HAVE BEEN A MINER.

KEEP DIGGIN KIDZ...PS..ZIGGY AND STARZ HAD JUST HAD THEIR FACES PAINTED, THUS THE SKELETON LOOK. PRETTY APPROPRIATE FOR WHERE WE WERE THOUGH.

THIS IS THE WONDERFUL,TALENTED AND VERY BEAUTIFUL ELISSA AND HER SON ZAC! ELISSA IS A GOOD FRIEND FROM YEARS AGO AND RESIDES IN COOBER PEDY NOW...LUCKY FOR US. ELISSA ,ROWIE AND ZAC ARE WHO WE ARE STAYING WITH HERE AND LISSY HAS HER MINERS LICENCE AND WORKS AT THE BEST OPAL MINE-SHOP IN TOWN..UMOONA! SO TO SAY WE ARE GETTING SPOILT ROTTEN WOULD BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT.

THE MULLOCK HEAPS. BESIDE EVERY MOUND OF DIRT THERE LIES AN OPAL SHAFT. THERE ARE THOUSANDS.

CHEER UP STARZ.

THIS IS AN OLD SORTING MACHINE. LOTS OF PEOPLE STILL USE THEM.

GOTTA LOVE THE CAR!!!
