We haven’t written for a while because we have been too relaxed. However we haven’t missed the opportunity to send our well wishes and prayer for your safety - as you travel, exercise or try something out of the ordinary - during this time of celebration of the birth of Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus.
We write from sunny Belhus, to the north of Perth, we are staying at Rob’s Uncle and Aunt’s.
After saying goodbye to Emily’s parents in Bunbury, we headed due south, to Augusta. We tried some fishing to no avail. But enjoyed the scenery and the sunshine. We stayed in Leeuwin national park, at point rd and Conto’s spot for a total of three night. Nice location but very windy coast. We did some Christmas present shopping in Margaret River after wish Rob finally tested out his new snorkel at Prevally Beach.
We headed from there to Busselton for a night and day. On Saturday morning we woke up nice and early (which turned out to be a wise decision) and headed for Mandurah train station. We were off to the cricket at the WACA. Day 4 was anticipated as the best day to go for the 1st test against South Africa. It started well, with keeper Brad Haddin fallinf just 5 runs short of what would have been a fantastic 100. We enjoyed the WACA atmosphere sitting on the grass of the west bank with a much un-MCG crowd of 10,071. We enjoyed it so much that we will return for some of the domestic 20-20 matches when Emily’s family join us for a week mid Jan. Turns out the cricket ended up being a good time for the Proteas not us, but that’s sport.
We found a caravan park to freshen up and sleep and in the morning we headed to the Gateway Community Church. There we met some friends who had moved from Melbourne. We spent 3 days with them and they took us through the Burke st mall equivalent and helped us relax.
We drove from there (west perthish) to Rob’s family on Tuesday and we will stay there for 3 weeks or so while we try to get some work and also get to know Rob’s cousins a bit more.
We hope you enjoy this Festive season safely with your family and friends.
Much love - Rob and Emily…. Ho Ho Hover and Out.

Hey Rob and Emily.
Happy new year. Have a safe time in W.A. I presume you don't know your cousins that well??? It's will be an interesting time catching up with them. Pity about the test! We had a quiet NYE. Quite a few people went into the city to see the fireworks etc. I am on holidays 4 three weeks and will be relaxing out west for a day or two. Apart from that, life goes on... Catch you soon. Ray.
