On the way to Bens we stopped at Busselton and took a walk along the Busselton Jetty.  It is the longest Jetty in Australia and stretches two kilometres out to sea.  The water was very clear and we saw some beautiful fish including “Nemo”.

 

We stayed at Ben and Zacks for 3 nights and the younger kids had a lot of fun looking for Slender Man, which is a character from one of Zack’s favourite games on the I pad.  As Ben had a pool we also enjoyed a swim everyday and Adam got his Playstation fix by playing “Call of Duty”.  We also were treated to some amazing sunsets from Ben’s backyard.

 

 

One day Nanna and Poppy took the 3 kids to Rottnest Island where the kids saw a quokka, which are only found on Rottnest.  They also swam, explored the Island and had Subway for lunch.  As we had the day to ourselves Craig and I enjoyed a day of walking around the town, going to Ben’s favourite Thai restaurant for lunch and having a refreshing afternoon beer at Murphys.  That night we shared a fantastic Indian dinner with Ben and Jess over a Corona or two.

We visited Ben at his work where Craig tested a few keyboards and bought a guitar to play around the campfires and teach the kids some songs.  Ben gave Craig a couple of guitar lessons and he is now teaching himself a few tunes.

Sophie and Fiona invited us to their house for dinner where they prepared a yummy Spaghetti Bolognaise and we had an enjoyable evening catching up.
