Just returned home from a whirlwind trip over to Geraldton, which is on the Western Australia coast north of Perth. From my initial understanding, this was only supposed to be a quick little 3 hour drive but was soon corrected. The trip is 6 hours each way, which only emphasises how remote Karalundi (my new home) really is. We went for a day and half for the sole purpose of a caffeine pursuit with a few little extra chores here and there.

Jes and Ben had talked up the most amazing café/restaurant place for brunch the morning after we had arrived and as we arrived up to the front door of Salt Dish we noticed a little sign that said ‘closed for the holidays’ – needless to say we were more than let down. Especially considering the next best place for breakfast was McDonalds. No joke. Although given how far away Karalundi is that’s sort of a treat as well.

I managed to buy a quite a few things for my little abode back in the desert. Just a few things to make it more homely and that night we had dinner at a really nice place call The Provincial. I would definitely recommend it to any visitors passing through.

We stayed at a caravan park by Sunset Beach where I got some beautiful shots of the sunset. They still don’t quite capture how amazing it really was though.

We’re back home now and kids arrive here on Monday and Tuesday. The staff (me included) have to take the buses out to the bush to pick them up for the term so that should be happening in the next couple of days.

Not feeling all that prepared for teaching but nothing like being thrown in the deep end! Will blog about that sometime next week if I get a chance and I’ve survived.

Bye for now x
