Murchison Offroad Adventures

Go Mr Lambers! ;)

Derek navigating his way down. He did make by the way

On the track heading toward home


This short holiday was so fun. It was full of new experiences and even though it was stinking hot it was relaxing to not have anything planned and just try to chill!!

My fav saying was 'Look out for that tree!'-Tarzan
My fav song was 'L is for the the way you look to-night'- from the Little rascals movie. We watched it on the way there.

Our only way to cool off was to swim in this part of the river that hadn't dried up! Was such a relief as the temperature did get to 48'C!!

Dad B found it refreshing to put weed on his head

Our entertainment and anything to float on meant we didn't have to touch the muddy weedy ground

One day after leaving the waterhole and in my rush to get in the car without the flies i accidently dropped a thong and didn't realize till we got home (15 min drive and without aircon)!! Both dad's went back to pick it up!! Thanks- it was the only pair of footwear i had!

This is what happens to marshmallows in 48'C heat!!

Our sitting area- was very nice

My bed- the base was taken away for Kirsty to sleep on. On the last day when the boys put it back
together there was a lizard between the matress and the shed- right near my head!

Derek and my dad getting ready for the buggy tour- most people went on them, it think they used a total of 10 buggies!?

Kirsty- what a poser :)

Murchison Offroad Adventures

From January 7th till the 10th i had the priveledge of tagging along with Dad and Mum van Delden, Melissa and Malcolm to Murchison Offroad Adventures. It's about 1hour drive inland fron Kalbarri. We went with Dad and Mum byl, Jasmine, Natalie, Dave, Kirsty, Derek and Shelley and the Lambers family! We arrived in about 45 degree heat, and some of us expecting a chalet in the form of a shearers quarters (after all it was a sheep station) were shocked at the sight of the accomodation.


The kitchen-with a just working fridge.
I should also say that we had no cold water coming out of the taps.

The water that came out the taps was burning hot!

The bathroom-that smelled like something died in it. All we wanted was a cold shower but we couldn't take one till about 9:30- even then it was still a warm one

And me- it's not very clear to see (phew!) but i don't really sweat! I just go red in the face and my face seemed to feel a bit swollen

Natalie and Melissa still cooling down at about 9pm
