Thought for the long weekend we might travel to the next closest town south, Onslow. Only 300something kms south. So it took us two and a half hours to drive there, and the kids happily watching DVD's on the inflight entertainment (except when the disc was scratched). And one pee stop not bad. Got to Onslow, must admit it has it's charms. We stopped at the War memorial that has only just been built, beautiful view. Then onto a 1.5km board walk, it was great it ends at a park that is located near the jetty for the tankers. The town has a pub, shop, police station and two servos, and a museum of the local area history. Had a picnic (which kids did not want), then took a walk along the beach front, and it reminded me a lot of the area where the grandies live now except on the eastcoast and only 1 hour away from the capital city. So we only got to spend two hours in Onslow until the bickering started so it was back in the car and two and half hour drive home. So the next dilema do we attempt a long drive again? Still many things to do here just not enough time! And to add to that I need to see a hairdresser to fix up the mistake that is currently my hair style, so I am looking forward to spending $500 on a flight just to fix it up, plus the actual cost of the appointment oh the joy. But still it is fun up here, winter has started and it is still a brisk 22 degrees (suffer my south eastern friends!!!!)
