Quick trip to Newy

Featured Image: Saltwater (near Old Bar)

Port Hedland to Perth, Perth to Melbourne, Melbourne to Newcastle

Jayne went to her board meetings as did I. 

Bar Beach – Board Meeting Pending

 
One highlight was standing around in the cold on the first morning with a bunch of mates trying to decide whether to surf, have coffee or go back to bed. The surf was a bit wild that day. I think most took the back to bed option.

A little less conversation, a little more action


Later that day the surf settled down a bit so I managed a surf at Dixon Park.
Next day was a trip to Saltwater. Surf number 2 on a protected Southern point. Lots of fun with Dave & Mick.

3rd surf was out at third reef at Merewether (out in the big boys playground). Lucky, the Merewether day  was only 4′-5′ & a lot of fun with about 5 guys out. The day before would have been 6′-8′ and a lot of pain.  Gotta be happy with 3 surfs in 3 days. Shame about all the aches & pains that come along with it. More practice required.

Caught up with some of the family. My Mum & Jayne’s Dad.

Even got to spend some quality time with some siblings, nieces & one of my nephews.

Quality Time with Nephew – Hello? Anybody home?


One of my nieces is about 2 weeks off transforming into two people. She looks absolutely radiant & says she feels 100% pregnant.

Not long now


Three days in Newy goes very quickly.

So then, just to be different, we went back to the Wild West via a different route. Newcastle to Brisbane, Brisbane to Perth, Perth to Port Hedland. Another full day of flying up & down.

Happy to report the car & van were still in Port Hedland & in the same state we left them in. Nobody washed either one. Heading South next.
