Waking to Nature’s Orchestra

We were woken this morning by natures orchestra. A melody of birdsong started pre dawn and continued on for most of the morning. Andy and I let the girls sleep in and headed off for a morning run around the 6km river loop as the sun was rising.



Post run we grabbed our towels and returned for a morning soak only to find Ella already soaking away!!

While eating breakfast we notice a steady stream of caravans and camper trailers leaving Wooramel and considered moving to a 'better' spot. Our investigations prove fruitful and quickly we packed up to relocate to a campsite with river views.

After another unpack (luckily it only takes 15 mins) it was time for another pre lunch soak!! Katy joined us this time. We lazed in the warm water until we become prunes


Lunch was low key - leftovers, wraps and 2 minute noodles. We continued to laze the afternoon away reading, sleeping, writing in journals and playing patience (a new favourite of the girls). Birds continued to chatter in the tree tops - budgies, red and grey galahs and parrots.


By mid afternoon we were all restless and headed once again back to the hot tubs. We left the girls making friends with a gang of kids. They entertained themselves with two friends - Grace (from Busselton) and Lucy (from the Gold Coast) for the rest of the afternoon.

For dinner we signed up for the Wooramel dinner. Held behind the hot tubs on a lovely grassy area, we enjoyed pre dinner drinks listening to Pete Byfield who sang well for a 65+yr old. The girls eventually appeared. Dinner was delicious - rice with a tomato beef stew, vegetable dahl, roasted pumpkin and damper. Well worth it.
