Cold, cold, cold! 19 degrees but feels like 12 degrees after the heat. Funny.
Today we went for a bit of a drive and checked out Denial Bay, apparently it got it’s name from Matthew Flinder’s who hoped to find fresh inland water but that request was denied. It was incredibly windy, the photo doesn’t show it, but you had to lean into the wind to stop yourself being blown off the jetty. There were full white caps out there and I tried to get a photo but was having serious issues holding onto my phone. A stormy sea is so beautiful and powerful though, I love it.
We also stopped off to look at William McKenzie’s ruins just outside of Denial Bay. He was one of the first European settlers in the area and the ruins are of his property. I always enjoy looking around at this kind of thing and imagining what life must have been like in those days. Would have been incredibly tough living. His favourite saying was ‘You can’t grow wheat with your hands in your pockets’. I liked it and might keep using it, but it must be said in a Scottish accent.
We also did a reconnaissance drive to check out the various Wiki free camps in the area, but didn’t find anything amazing. Found somewhere good for an overnight stay, but that’s about it.
Tomorrow we pack up and head for the Nullarbor! We will be putting these to good use. Anyone know what they are for? (Trav, you can’t guess!)
Maybe a She wee and a penis funnel ????????
haha Thankfully no. They are golf tees for the Nullarbor Links course. x
Hey guys. I am trying to pull together the flights and accommodation for 6 of us to come to Broome. The dates I am working on are 10 – 22 June, and trying for a 3 brm holiday home. Can you advise if you think you’ll be in Broome by then (according to your spreadsheet you will be, but things happen, dont they?) Also, where abouts are you staying, and where are your other visitors staying? We hope to make the booking tomorrow, Friday night, so I really hope you can get back to me. Loving your work guys, hope things have cooled down a bit for you xxx
Hey Sam – so excited you guys are coming up to hang out with us in Broome. Yes we will be there for June and July. Not sure where yet, still sussing out the prices and availability. Will let you know details as soon as we know. xx

Safe travels, from The Tree’s xx
