The last couple of days have included ticking off our shopping list of things we either needed or had left behind and needed replacing. When we got back to the caravan park Nina took some bike riding lessons, without trainer wheels.

Yesterday morning the boys arose bright and early to try to add to their crab stocks with an early morning crabbing expedition in the nearby river. We ended up with 5 in all and a black bream (caught by Jack). The biggest ever caught in the region, just ask him!!!!
So dinner last night was an entree of crab, followed by Nanna's pasta sauce & salad. Yum!!!

We have already met some lovely people. Our next door neighbor Tony was a wealth of knowledge when it came to fishing and crabbing. The neighbors opposite us Peter & Sheila have been my daily source of news, dropping off The West to me each morning after they've finished reading it, although they didn't ever sell it too well, telling me it was "full of crap," even before I got the chance to read it. They were always right!!
So this morning it was goodbye to our short lived, but lovely neighbours, to continue on our way.
We arrived in Hopetoun with very few expectations and were pleasantly suprised.
I suppose the best way to describe it as a quaint little fishing village on the beach.
With only two hours of sunlight when we arrived, the boys quickly disappeared to explore the beach, metres away from our caravan.

Nina can now skin dive, thanks to her Dad's teaching expertise (just ask him).

After dinner at the pub, it's time for a nightcap before Richard divorces me for being on the computer.
