Exmouth

Had 4 nights at Exmouth but didn't like it all that much to be honest, compared to some of the other places we've seen. Very remote and expensive, although Chris did a try-dive at the navy pier which he enjoyed. Also threw in a line but alas no luck with the fish, so we went swimming instead, much more fun! Stayed on the west side of the point at a place called Yardie Station Caravan Park where we were charged full price for a powered site but were only allowed to use certain electrical things like lights and fans basically. No air con or toaster etc. because their generator wouldn't handle it, and we were not allowed to use our own generator either...go figure?!! If we had stayed in town we would have been charged the $34 or $36 for a site, plus the usual extra $10/child/night, plus an extra $10/night because we were a big rig!! NOT IMPRESSED! Anyway we decided to cut our losses and leave although we were still waiting for mail to arrive. Had a night at Nanutarra Roadhouse to break the drive and although it was very, very basic we were happy to pay the $25 for the night.
Poor Will can only last about 10 minutes swimming in the sea, don't know how he'll survive when we get our first winter down home. Our very own little frog boy, just like his mother!

Gave the kids the camera at Nanutarra to take a few shots and these are some of the ones they came back with...

Have I made mention yet of Caz and Craig's new addition and Nate's new baby brother? Gorgeous little Jamie John Baxter was born on Monday the 4th of October, much to everyone's relief but mostly Caz's I think! Have seen a few photos and can't wait to meet him in person in January.
Oh, other news just by the way...I am officially overweight and planning on losing 6 - 10 kgs. (All this wonderful relaxing lifestyle has caught up with me...Waaaahh!) Tonight I am joining the "Weighitup" website so I can get some good meal ideas and I've started walking in the mornings. Today I brought myself a new pair of sneakers and a set of bathroom scales so look out, no turning back. I put this on here to make sure I don't chicken out or give up, keep reminding me to try hard won't you. Chow for now :-))
