Not a creature is stirring at Monkey Mia, except...

 |
| Yours truly feeding Puck |
 |
| A starfish doesn't escape notice |
 |
| Pelican magic |
 |
| A monitor comes to see what the fuss is about |
Merry Christmas/happy holidays,
Renee, Halle and Louie xxx

The season to be jolly

When blogger sucks
I've been trying so hard to upload photos and posts to blogger this past week and it won't let me!
Completely frustrating and thumbs down to you Blogger. Get your act together!
We are in gorgeous Kalbarri at the moment, but I can't show you just how lovely it is, boo.
It was with huge relief that we arrived here after enduring 5 days of 40+ degree Celcius temperatures with no adequate shade and only low growing shrub. Now we are on a site with huge tropical trees that create a cave of shade for my little van and car and most importantly, the pooches.
We are across the road from the Murchison River which is lovely and calm and warm to swim in.
We are nearing our halfway point in time and distance which feels a bit surreal but also like a huge achievement. I've towed Elsa 9,000km peeps! Not bad for a first timer.
Hopefully (are you listening Blogger?) I'll be able to post to you over Christmas at our halfway destination.

Bad blogger
Oh, I've been such a bad blogger lately.
I haven't taken any photos in over a week. It's hard to juggle two exuberant doggies on their leads, a handbag and a camera all at once, and that's the problem, we've mostly been at places where the dogs have to remain on leads ALL THE TIME.
Coming up to Christmas things are about to get trickier as those few caravan parks that do accept dogs close that window of opportunity until the end of January. We'll be doing a fair bit of 'bush camping' and side of the road camping I think.
Today we're in Port Denison in a luxurious (by my standards) Big4 caravan park. We're right next to Granny's beach, where I found a dead shark yesterday evening, and black crabs eating it's stomach. It was a small one with a camouflage pattern on its tail, I don't know what sort yet. There was also a tiger shark sighting at South Beach, where I walk the dogs in the morning.
Today is a bit cooler than yesterday. The temperature has increased dramatically since we drove north of Perth. The dogs are coping better than me with the heat but today we're all happy.
We've booked into our special destination for Christmas, so at least we won't be spending that on the side of the road!
I hope you're all happy and excited and organised in the lead up to Christmas.
I'll try and take more pictures, promise. xxx

I found my mojo at Lake Navarino
 |
| Halle auditions for Survivor by trying to start a fire |
 |
| Too adorable for words |
 |
| What do you mean there are no mattresses and doonas on Survivor? |
 |
| Elsa in her element |
Ducks would wander up from the lake and forage about the campsite. Australian 'Twenty-eight' Ringneck parrots dropped gumnuts on top of Elsa and Rusty (my ute) with loud accuracy. The camp caretaker was a loveable Kiwi who I chatted to for hours.
I got inspired. I wrote. It was a turning point in our trip.
