Albany - Cosy Corner

Thursday 18th.
We got into Albany late morning and I had chosen a free camping spot 30km out of Albany to stay. We put the road name into the GPS and I tried to trust it. I (Heidi) have always been the navigator and most of the time got us where we need to go so it is hard for me to completely trust this machine. It let us down and it tried so hard to make us go down the wrong road and convince us that we could do it. "Make a u turn when possible" it kept saying when we decided to obey the road signs that were telling us NO CARAVANS! AHHHH crazy thing! Finally by my map reading and an information place we got there and found a fantastic camp spot , trees and the roar of waves in the back ground. There was a long drop toilet and the kids were very funny, going in holding their breath as long as they can so they didn't have to smell the stink, then exhaling when done!
I promptly put up clothes lines in the trees and a man staying next to us came and observed laughing, "big wash day" to which I replied " this is only half!" We make people laugh, or swear.

The kids up the top of the walk way in Albany while I get a map from information.

Friday 19th. The kids on the boat Brig Amity. They loved this boat as they could wonder all around it and on top of parts. Very kid friendly. They got an electronic device which told them the story of the Brig Amity as they walked around the boat. The nice man let us on for a family price rather then adding on extra kids. I had to explain to Manning that the dummies in the boat weren't the dead men, they were like dolls that someone made, but very life like!
Tim missed this little excursion as he was off buying a generator as the days and trees weren't helping our solar keep up to our tank of a freezer.

The kids spotted this great climbing tree in Albany. All 6 are there, some with just their faces showing. Where's Colemans.
We found the christain book shop to try and find a church to go to on Sunday. They have a church directory! We got talking to a guy there who was from Margaret River. Said we should visit there.
