We spent a couple of more days just hanging out, and the
kids were loving playing with our neighbour friends, Katie, Cowan and their 3
kids. We had a mini velodrome going
around the park, with multiple kids doing laps with bikes, scooters, running. It
was all action. This is where Savannah
asked to borrow Jack’s push bike (Katie’s sons), which had pedals. Up to now, she had been riding her balance
bike, which is a kids bike without pedals.
She uses her legs to scoot along and this teaches her how to balance.
After a quick try out on Jack’s bike, she was away pedalling
by herself, without training wheels.
This was her first ride using pedals on a bike without training
wheels. The balance bike approach really
worked a treat!! Well done
Savannah!!! By this stage, Jess’s legs
had also grown long enough and she was off and riding her balance bike like a
pro! Phhewww. At least that validated us hauling her
balance bike half way around the country!
We also packed up the camper and sent it back to the
Camprite boys for a second visit. There
were a couple more things that we wanted looking at, and as per before, they were
fantastic. On the spot they did some
work for us, with exceptional customer service.
Very happy.
We finally felt recharged enough and ready to head
right. Right being East. We’ve had many discussions about our north,
south, east & wests, as well as our fronts and backs of the camper. Long story, needless to say, it’s been put
down to ‘boy logic’ and ‘girl logic’.
Not sure who’s right, we just have to figure out where to go... this
time, RIGHT.
We said our final goodbyes to Katie, Cowan and kids. It has been lots of fun guys, thanks. Perth is definitely a place we could live
in. It was inspirational to hear what
Katie and Cowan were up to, and we could project ourselves into the same
situation. Don’t think it’s likely to
happen, but fun thinking about it.
We headed out of Perth, and started the long, long drive
across the Nullarbor!
