On Sunday, Mindy's brother and his family arrived in Australia for a four week holiday. We picked them up from the Airport and took them to a Hotel so they could rest after their long trip from The Netherlands.

After staying the night with our good friends Paul & Kathy, we returned to the Hotel to pickup the family and then went to organise an Apollo Camper together. Jonny and Monique had booked a 4 birth camper via the Internet but were upgraded to a 6 birth due to mechanical issues with the other vehicles. Nice bonus!

The Kids wanted lunch at McDonalds.... so we took care of that and then headed south towards Katanning. On the way, we made a detour to the Serpentine Dam. This dam is one of the main water supply dams for the Perth area but is also an interesting and beautiful location to visit.

The Local wildlife (birds) are very friendly and the children really enjoyed being able to see and touch some of the birds..

Photos available here and in Jonny & Moniques photo album here. You can also read their blog (in Dutch) here.

Jonny, Monique, Stefan & Miriam have never been to Australia before, so it is interesting to watch (particularly the children) as they respond to the various 'new' experiences here "Down Under".

Stay tuned for more...
