Sorry people about not updating the site but have been very busy having fun and getting pinker and frecklier. Here goes..... the first port of call on our trip up the west coast was the Pinnacles which is near Cervantes. These are thousands of limestone pinnacles formed by years of corrosion by weather and most of them look like big penis's which chris was well happy about. Didnt spend long there as we'd been driving all day and I was hungover. Next stop Kalbarri, where me and michelle booked up a tour to canoe through the gorges and look through Natures window. Went out to Finlays - the finest fish restaurant in WA in a metal shack - no service, no tablecloths, no cutlery, bring your own beer and sit there and be quiet til your numbers called out. Very nice. Early start the next day, as the bus was picking us up at 8am - Ada was not happy about this cos he even had to make his own sandwiches. This trip changed our sleeping arrangements!!!! We looked at the Murchison River gorge and learnt a bit about the National Parks animals and plants before making the trek down to the canoes. Er.. lets just say we got slightly wet - water fights were had by those that wanted to join in and those that didnt so sorry about that guys!! After we'd canoed 6km we had to hike back out of the gorge and went for cake and juice at Natures Window. The bus journey back is where it all went Pete Tong - someone suggested beer (and it wasnt even Ada!!) - our new friends..Matt from melbourne, and Amy and Damien from Preston and Richard - not like that darling (you had to be there!!). We all decided to meet in the local pub because it was the only one in town, Had a few games of pool - Northern hempisphere v's southern hemisphere - we one everytime of course - the winning team got a round of drinks bought them from the losing every game - Ada was quite pissed - which may help in explaining how he got lost on the way home to the campsite. After doing a mooney at a load of Germans i lost Amy, Damian and Michelle and ended up in a backpackers, helped myself to a cheese sandwich from the ingredients in the fridge and thought it would be funny to change all the name tags around on the food. Woke up to a bunch of Swedish people watchin TV around me and decided it was time to do a Frank Boff. Then got back to the campsite undone the zip of the tent and launched myself onto what i thought was an empty sleeping bag - sorry Amy.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hiya people's just letting you know that im still alive, Well i've been a bit of a busy bee at the moment with buying the camper van and site seeing so i have not been on the net so much as i should have been and i think that the ada appreciation club is felling a little bit left out!!!!!!!!
So here we go , this little one's for the man called Fipzie as i know he's waiting for us to tell him about the van that we have bought , well its a toyota (mini bus) a little bit like the one out of scooby doo,and it has all the camping gear on it already such as 2 three man tents,cooker, ,pots and pans,2 blow up beds and pump,cool boxes for the beer's the main peice of equipment,table and chairs,so its quite well kitted out ,It has 7 months rego left on it, We payed $3000 for it and i've just had a bit of work done on it as we are going to travel quite a distance in the old beast , The plan is to go up through broome and try and get some work ,I might of got us some work on a sheep farm , Chris is well excited about this and dashed out and has bought him self a pair off wellys with loose tops im not sure what thats all about but Chris say's that Matt tomas will know !!!!!!!! (lol)
Well so far in perth I've seen quite a lot of the sites the first one that i went to was Rottnest Island, This is about 19 kilometres from the coast of fremantle and you can only get there buy the ferry which takes only 30 mins and is quite a exciting ride,on the way i saw dolphins playing and leaping from the water , Once you arrive at the Island the main transport is by bike as there are few cars on the Island,the island has many beaches and lagoons to explore and make good places to snorkel and surf.
The next place i went to was the fremantle prision this was a very interesting place i thought,the prision was only shut down 10 years ago and now has been made ito a working museum for the public , it would take me forever to tell you about it so i wont bore the pants off ya all and move on to the next one .
Me chris and mishelle took the van for a test run and went to a place called bunbury this is all the way down south all the way to the margret river, I really liked it there clean and tidy and it had 50 vinyard's in a half hour drive drive of which you could stop and do wine tasting in every one of them for (free) how cool is that .we also done some cheese tasting,and went to the chocalate factory Chris could'nt go in as he lost his golden ticket,and i was upset as they did'nt have any umpa lumpas there i will never watch willy wonka ever again,but the chocalate was well nice , then back to the campsite for a drink and a sleep !!!
The next place i went to was the wave rock this is about 4 hours away and was well worth it the rock its self was formed under ground and pushed through the surface of the earth to form a massive rock in the shape of a 19" wave pretty cool i think ,Then i done the most common thing by tourists and pretended to surf on it ,Never mind you can't take me anywere lol!!!!!!!!!!
And if you all want to know about our travels up north you will all have to tune in luv ya all the radsterxxxxxxxxxxx

OK then Im ready to tell you about the latest goings on but Ada and Michelle have done more than me coz Im on a bit of a staying in and saving money thing at the moment...but not for long! So I'll let Ada tell his own stories.
As for me I have been breakin a few times and am trying very hard. Most people will tell you I'm very trying! Lol! I have been trying to learn a backflip so have lost skin from my hands and knees. I have knees like a 12 year old kid! And probably the mind of one too but forget about it. What can I tell ya!
Me and ada visited alot of beaches yesterday and had a right laugh especially when we found a place with trampolines. They were $4 for 15 minutes and we made the most of the half an hour we had in there! I nearly pissed myself watching Ada flying through the air, he can get some height! I thought he was gonna go over the fence and land outside! At one point he went off one and landed on the one next to it on his back!!! LOLOLOL! I think I got some nice photos of the action. I was no better so we had a good time.
We also watched the sunset and climbed slippery rocks and ate more fish and chips when we met up with Michelle, so life is good but its gonna get better very soon!
We have two three man tents, cooking equipment, a football, a basketball, blow up beds, linen, new clothes, lots of plans and a possitive outlook so keep tuned!
I'll tell Ada to put some of his storys on here coz I know he has a fanclub that miss him!
