The drive back was not very exciting, with hours of this and a twelve hour drive.

Big Mo & Jo.

Nice picture of some Bush's.

A nice one of the kids.

One for the album.

Braving the seas.

Coral Bay has a fantastic beach. The coral forms a natural break, so there are no waves and the kids can go in as far as they dare.

As always, the Dads are left to do the work.

The view from the apartment.

Crocodile Dundee. G'day mate ;)

Smile :)

Big Jo.

Toby enjoying his lunch

Coral Bay. Glass bottom boat, looking at the coral - obvious really.

Are we there yet?

Road Trip.
For a trip out, we decided to go to Coral Bay (Way up north). We hired a bus (pictures to come) and set off. The trip was the equivalent to driving London to Rome!

The day was fairly warm, touching 38C. Anita had expertly cooked the turkey on the BBQ (What an Aussie) and the usual Christmas dinner in the garden.

This is not an 'Photoshop' fix, this was how busy the beach was on Christmas Day. Sleepy Perth at its best. (Can you hear the banjos??)

Christmas morning down on the beach.

Joel with his new trike and of course, a new car!

Santa even remembered that Toby was not in England for Christmas. Amazing.

Joel with his great new Thomas the Tank Engine.

And then Santa arrived... Even though we didn't have a chimney, must be magic.

Chidley Point. Where the poor watch the rich play :)

The BBQ in full swing.

Christmas Eve and a BBQ at Chidley Point on the Swan River.

Again, Mollie at the controls.

Mollie the photographer. Libbie at the Ferrel Brewery.

A blast from the past - Remember Mollie and her "Cheesy Grin".

Big Jo and I - Big Jo wired on an overdose of free chocolate!

Mollie is growing up fast and has found the golden nectar they call Fanta!

The Bush family and a trip to the chocolate factory.

A day on the beach and a good Aussie diet - Red Rooster and Sushi.

Mollie, Joel and Libbie meeting the locals.

Jackie, Andy, Libbie and Toby arrive for their holiday during Christmas. Everyone (except Toby asleep in the pushchair) on the train in Whitemans park.

Mollie and Joel at Joel's Christmas party, with a visit from Santa.

Joel and Kim. Joel's carer at day care. Joel doesn't show it, but he did like Kim.

The paddling pool can at times turn into a wrestling ring... But they do love each other, at times.

The weather has been getting better week by week (better than last year) and so out comes the paddling pool.

Mollie at Isabelle's birthday party.
All the girls were getting ready for their belly-dancing lessons.

Mollie and her class.
They performed 'Greedy Cat' at the school essembly.

Sunday afternoon down at the sea front.

Again, not been very good at keeping up to date. The lead up to Christmas was very busy with me working most weeks in Sydney.
