2025-10-05 to 2025-10-08 Bremer Bay!

2025-10-05 Sunday

S: I had no idea where we were going, and secondly whether Blue Bau was coming with us! Of course she was! Then as we got coffee at Wisteria, Moomis told me we were going to Bremer Bay! Wow! I was so excited! I was hanging out for a long drive somewhere, and really really wanted to see whales! So cool!

We drove down at around 11am on Sunday, and it was such a pretty drive. Not our normal drive down south, but we had to take a different route towards Esperance, then to Albany, then to Bremer Bay. We arrived just as the sun was setting at around 6.30, but we stopped in a couple of places - a bakery where we had an amazing quiche and toastie, and then to get some snakkie whakkies! It was so much fun going on a road trip again, I've really missed it.

Our place was amazing! We were literally overlooking the sea at Short Beach! We unpacked quickly, then walked down to our beach. Squeaky Sand! It was amazing! We let Bau off the lead, and we walked in the moonlight and took some awesome pics!

We had Ken Hom prawns, cheesecake, and then played Scrabble. It was so relaxing.

Well done Kroubs, very very cool plan! I had no idea.

C: Our place is amazing!

On Monday, we started with a walk on our beach with a drone shot of Moomy walking down, then we headed to Point Henry and we saw some seals, and a glimpse of a whale way out.

Then we went to Blossoms Beach where we drove onto the beach for a walk. It was so cool. Then Native Dog Beach where we parked up top, walked, then took another drone shot round the corner of the next beach as it was pretty rough. Then drove round to Bremer Bay after coffee and cake at the Orca's coffee van. It was such an amazing beach, and we walked quite a way then headed back. I attempted a wing foil, but there was no wind - boo! We then drove to Gordon's Inlet which was very calm, and it took us forever to go back along the 4WD back home.

What a day! We saw kangaroos, bull ants, strange birds, lizards, seals, whales (we think!), and it was sunny!

We woke up trying to spot whales from our bed using the binoculars - very fun way to start the day.

A lot of 4-wheel driving today! We started the day going to the other side of Bremer Bay again - the only way to get there is by 4WD. The wind was offshore, but was perfect, and I spent 1-2 hours on my foil, it was so much fun, and I was the only one out there! Amazing.

The only shop open was the petrol station, and before we went to Point Ann, we got some tinned tuna and some chippies to dip in, and that was our lunch. It took a long time to get to Point Ann, and we got there just before sunset, so we only had 30 minutes to spot whales - we did not, unsurprisingly. The Claire The Demon Driver drove us back at breakneck speed. Hoon!

We wanted to go out to dinner, but the only restaurant closed 30 minutes before it should have done - they must have seen us and shut the doors. They told us the pub served food - sure, sure. They did, but stopped serving an hour ago. We went home, and I made a rice, butter, salt and herb fried rice for dinner, and we watched Steve. It turned out okay in the end, and pretty funny. Make sure we bring our own food next time!

We saw loads of wildlife on our drive too, which was so cool.

2025-10-08 Wednesday - Home!

Long drive back today! We didn't spot whales waking up today, we packed up, and we set off. Rox helped out a homeless man while we were one our way back - so sweet! I think we could have spent more time down there - it was spectacular. Shame we didn't see any whales, so we're going to have to go down again.
