Bunbury

Bunbury has changed so much for me over the years. When I was a kid visiting my Grandma it was an old country town. The highlight of eating out was River Rooster and entertainment was swimming in Grandmas pool. Now its a hipsters paradise. Cool cafes on every corner. Long Mac topped up with almond milk over here, thanks.

The boys swam, bounced, rode, scootered, played and kicked the footy all in the first hour of arriving.  And with that, big boy was off the Bunnings to return items strapped to the roof purchased from Waroona Hardware that may not have been big enough. How does thay saying go, measure twice...Luckily he is an upgraded, gold class, spent a fortune, life member at Bunnings so no questions asked.
Our lovely well appointed new park has us parked 20 metres from Koombana Bay, a gorgeous beach, flat as a tack and a playground for dolphins. We are also parked 10 metres from the busiest road in Bunbury.

The boys and I headed to the Dolphin Discovery Centre while Dean headed into his second favourite store, BCF to spend his $10 voucher without spending $80 to go with it.
Unfortunately no dolphin sightings today but the boys loved the aquariums, including the octopus feeding and Judd was especially fond of Jackson (Port Jackson Shark) for obvious reasons.
Climbed the lookout, visited my dear Nana and more caravan park action to be had. The lookout was not a highlight for some, Hudson only made it half way up and shuffled down on his bum. He may be scared of heights.

After an interesting sleep, did I mention we are parked 10 metres away from the busiest street in Bunbury we had some shopping fixes, which involved me sitting in the car with sleeping beauty. Caravan shop, Bunnings, BCF, Supercheap, Jaycar. Least someone was happy. Fancy coffees, beach walks, may have tormented Hudson with the lookout again,  then jetty baths.

Hudson taught his new friend Niall, who is all the way from Scotland all about footy, well the aussie version. Unfortunately he left for Perth after 2 days of best friends leaving with his oval shaped gift under his arm. See ya Niall.
I scooted home for a day/night of peaceful sleep to see Shadae graduate. From all accounts, the guest blogger did not contribute much, nothing much happened except Dad solving my screaming shower dilema. 2 weeks!!! 2 weeks of constant screaming about the shower, and yes, he does shower at home, fixed. Daddy saves the day.

 Let it be noted though that Daddy has been awol during all nighttime nightmares before mum left.

We visited Jetty Baths again fantasing that we were kid free sitting in the Vat sipping on pints overlooking the bay..... Instead Dean was forced against his will to continuously go down a tube slide with Judd and Hudson was whinging about something I'm  sure.

Anyway, lovely lunch at one of those hippie cafes(you can sip your long mac on a swing), Halloween costumes soughted, 57th visit yo Bunnings just incase we don't ever see one again and we were off to quieter more serene resort (Australias most expensive caravan park).
But not before a Firestation visit.
