Wednesday 17th. Drove to Hopetoun. Magpies were very tame, helping us eat our lunch in the playground. Quite windy, the first time we have had wind on our holiday. Had rain for most of the trip from Ravensthorpe through to our camping spot at Normans beach. Amazing stories of how the beaches got their names, mainly from local farmers that would pack up their trucks and drive their families miles across hills and scrub to holiday there.
The quiet animals at this camp site were magpies. They nearly ate bread out of our hands!
The water came right up under the trees as it was an inlet so was probably mainly fresh water. ( We didn't test it) They were excellant trees for climbing and the challenge of climbing from one branch to another without getting wet was too much for our boys to ignore. So the next morning 4 of them were in trees that I have no idea of how they got there or how they were going to get back! 3 made it back dry but 1 was wet up to his knees. This was the start of a week of wet clothes that I could not get dry.
