The recent post regarding the revamp of the website foreshadowed our next adventure, 6 months exploring the western half of Australia.

The start of our Australian Advenure finally arrived and it was time to start the long trek to Perth Western Australia, where we are to pickup the vehicle that will carry us on this adventure and from where the adventure finally starts. However before we get there we have some twists and turns to navigate.

As arranged we were collected from out hotel at 9:00 am by a representative from WaExperts and delivered to their depot where we had a couple of hours training on the systems of the vehicle and then we were on our own.

We spent a good deal of time this morning entertaining ourselves with the local parrots. We saw these guys yesterday afternoon but did not get a chance to feed/photograph them; made up for lost time this morning. After we had taken more than enough photos of these colorful little birds the camp host dropped by for a chat and during that chat informed us that the local name for this species of bird is twenty eights. Apparently this name originates from the fact that this species is 28th on the state list of vermin.
