Australia doesn’t celebrate Halloween, which I think is pretty boring. There are the random parties and the few trick-or-treaters, but nothing close to what America does. Plus, it’s getting really warm and summer-like, so it doesn’t seem like Halloween anyway. So, to celebrate, I hung a Frankenstein in the window of the car. Pretty classy….
We woke up in Margaret River and decided to head a bit closer to Perth so we could get up early tomorrow and check in to the hotel and watch the Air Race as soon as we get there. On the way up from Margaret River, we did a bit of a brewery tour and visited 3 breweries to taste their selections. We found some pretty tasty ones and felt a bit more knowledgeable than we do at the wineries, so it was a fun time.
Oh, and we caught the MOUSE!!!!! I went to the bathroom to get ready for the day and while I was gone Matt set the trap. As soon as I got back, which apparently was only about a minute after the trap was set, I heard this bang in the front of the van and then the most horrid noise (out of such a small animal) like ‘mee, mee, mee, mee, mee, mee, mee, mee, mee.’ He was screaming for help, but the poor little guy’s back was broken, so Matt had to flick it in the head (he loves killing animals…ha) and then threw it in the rubbish bin. So sad, but such a relief too. Now we won’t wake up with mouse poo all over our bodies!
We ended up at a campsite about an hour and a half outside of Perth in some National Park that I forget the name of... It’s about 2 miles off the main road down dirt roads, which I have become accustomed to in this country. As usual, there are kangaroos everywhere and so many flies you can hardly breath. It’s funny the things you get used to….
