After a brief but entertaining day in Sydney we head for Ulladulla. Dalmeny near Narooma. We had a great camp on the hill over looking the sea. The weather was lovely until a brutal south west from hit us. From there we trickled further down the coast to Ulladulla where surf was not on the agenda due to no swell.<br /><br />Lots of touring and even a fantastic day trip into Canberra. Neither Harry nor I had ever been Canberra and what a pleasant surprise it was. We toured New and old parliament house, drove around the city. We then spent the arvo at the Australian War memorial which was amazing. It was great for all of us. Catering for the kids as well. We even tracked down an old relative Bluey Truscott.<br /><br />Back to Ulladulla and off down the coast. Merimbula was great. We arrived to huge swell but wrong wind direction. Even Saltwater was too big. Harry managed to surf the bar up to 6ft onshore alone. After the swell peaked and cleaned up we were able to surf Merimbula bar 3-4ft and clean fun. We had fun staying at Short Point. Even spent a day at Magic Mountain.<br /><br />Off we head down the coast to into terrible weather. South west and 15 degrees. We decided to bypass the prom and on a whim decided to head home. We rocked up on Dawnie and Brucies door step at 9 pm. Huge surprise, even to us.<br /><br />Next day we head off to the house. Cleaning and unpacking our lives. Then off to Point Leo camping for 3 weeks which we like to call transition!@#$?! Or maybe even denial. End of January we moved back in permanently.<br /><br />Piper is now back at school doing Grade 3 and loving life. Enjoying seeing friends and formal education as opposed to home schooling. Marlon is at 4 year Kinder and slowly adjusting to life away from Mum, Dad and Piper. Harry is back at work and I am in the process of returning to work, both nursing and drafting.<br /><br />Its lovely to be home, but life as “trailer trash” on the road was great and a time we will remember as the BEST year of our lives. It’s been a pleasure sharing our trip with all the looked at the blogg and we hope it inspires you too to explore our great southern land. Love to you all Mel, Harry, Piper and Marlon xxxxx<br /><br />Aka The happy harrisons of oz</div><br /><div></div>The happy harrisons travelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05725143072516303680noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2863485458464028852.post-79119315307221834642008-12-07T20:09:00.000-08:002008-12-07T20:23:25.906-08:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTEp9eNX4smtToh80btrTropz-zg7P8LwazTVosQ-3KLmhwMiGZV4x5c5i9JbmmWLO6ocEdBKoilqaPPZGFB-wkpQ5iH3CEABqegN8UKnEuJw5oFurMSKnL9DjPMOLnkFLgfd29mDtk98/s1600-h/october+08+199.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277269851059315570" style="WIDTH: 320px;

Lack of internet opportunity and electrical storms have hampered us blogging. On our previous blogg we were in Broken head northern NSW. We ended up spending a great 3 weeks here. We got 4 mid-large swells and surfed twice a day which was great. We got unreal beachies and The Pass @ Byron up to 5ft. Melis surfed with Danny Wills a couple of times and was in heaven. The Pass even served Melis up a couple of barrels!!<br />The social east coast continued as we caught up with Robyn, Chris, Bethany, Josh and Tassie Nicols. I even managed to get Robbie to Tandem surf @ The Pass with me!! The Family Poole: Nick, Jo, Georgia, Lucy, Ben whom we caught up with again at Forster. We also had a luxury moment with Peter and Sonia Wu @ The Byron which was lovely. The kids had a blast swimming, hot bath, Lollies, green hair and fun. Great to see you Son and Pete! We were also stoked to have a surf and beer with Troy Wilkinson and Heath Punshon (Plague) and of course the Family Zoric which was unreal.<br />After a reluctant exit from Broken we head down the coast, visiting Illuka, Yamba, Angourie, Broomes Head. The rain was torrential and the surf not flash. Onward we head for Coffs Harbour and "sunny Sawtell" where we had an awesome couple of days with our great traveling buddies Kaz, Scotty, Jake and Archie. We had a blast including Bootcamp and surfing sessions. Piper and Jake got some great waves! Piper also did the Ripcurls Girls day with Lee Winkler ( ex-pro) which was great. Went to the Pet porpoise pool and we all got to kiss Seals and Dolphins!! The visit to the Big Banana at Coffs was also an absolute must.<br />Off south we head. Spent a great week at Crescent Head where we lucked into 5-6ft swell first day. The next couple of days it dropped a foot or two but improved in quality and we all had great waves here. Even when the Point stopped breaking we had unreal beachies. Love the place. Lots of exploring the area too up to Hat Head and South West Rocks which were stunning.<br />Through Port Macquarie onto Forster. We ended up ¾ hour south of Forster @ Treachery Camp near Seal rocks. On arrival we again bought the rise in swell and Harry lapped up 5-6ft offshore, beachies. The private bush camp was unreal here. Camping just off the dunes with goannnas, snakes and Dingos everywhere. Open fires and plenty of rain. We met some unreal people here including Darren Oates who was raising money for Starlight Foundation by walking and surfing the coast between Tweed and Sydney. Lots of great tales, waves and laughs were had. We copped some crazy weather here. Lighting storms for 48 hours straight, Rained and rained and rained. See pics.<br />From the bush to Sunny Sydney. We stayed @ Narrabeen which was great. We spent the day in Sydney catching the ferry from Manly we went and saw Santa at David Jones, went to the top of Centrepoint Tower (79 stories) walked the Harbour Bridge. Had a beer at the Australian Hotel, walked the Opera House, caught a ferry to Neutral bay and caught up with our buddies Weiry and Mandy. No pics as the camera had run out of juice.<br />Now we find ourselves in Lake Tabourie 10km south of Ulladulla. Looking forward to a great couple of weeks before we complete our loop of oz.<br />A special to Thanks to our generous new friend Paulyne whom assisted us to north Sydney and onto meet Weiry and Mandy. Thank you for your offer to stay and Cremorne Point and Katoomba in the Blue Mountains.<br />Until next time Love and Chrissie smailes to you all.<br />Harry, Melis, Piper and Marlon.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>The happy harrisons travelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05725143072516303680noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2863485458464028852.post-78156159529101870642008-11-02T16:17:00.000-08:002008-11-02T16:48:17.452-08:00Broken Head NSW November 2008<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264222998624578322" style="WIDTH: 320px;

A lovely little spot 5km south of Byron Bay for those not familiar. We have as usual had a great couple of weeks. Plenty of surfing and playing. Last time we blogged we were off to Dreamworld. We had a great day here. Harry and Piper especially going on all the scary rides. Piper is a real dare devil. She went on The Giant Drop (a free falling elevator seat drop 39 stories high 7 times (harry got the boohaas after 2 and Piper did it 5 times alone)!!!! Along with every other scary ride. Melis wouldn’t even go on it. We spent the afternoon at the water park, going down the drain hole on big floaty things and riding the blue ringed octopus.<br /><br />The days that followed were wet, but with the promise of a rising swell we stayed optimistic. We were surfing twice a day at the Superbank and loving it despite the crowds. Last Friday the swell was forecast to rise. It did and we got nice 3-4 ft waves at the superbank. Melis was stoked as she got to surf with Steph Gilmore (World womens champ!) We left the same day and head to Broken Head. We set up and head down to Lennox for a squiz and were greet with nice 4-5 ft waves and 5 people. Harry had a blast. Thinking the swell had peaked we were amazed to wake the next morning to bigger swell. Harry surfed Lennox Head 6 foot with a couple of sneakers. (See pics) Harry and Melis then surfed great waves at The Pass @ Byron with a million other punters but it was good. The swell dropped quite quickly after that but we still get to all surf everyday a couple of times so we cant complain, especially in warm water!<br /><br />Broken Head has been great. It has been quite social. We have caught up with the Zorics and had fun with Clay, Kirsty, Pete, Lisa. This week Robyn, Chris, Beth, Josh and Tassie Nicol, Jo, Nick, Georgia, Lucy and Ben Poole and have also graced us with there presence, great fun and games. We also were able to catch up with Nicky, Lakes, Georgia and Victoria O’Neill which was a pleasure. On the Goldy we also got to spend some great days with Mingo, Sharon, Shannon, Shawn and Shay Sykes which was a a lot of laughs and games. Really lovely to catch up with great friends from home.<br /><br />Halloween was a blast. Despite the sever lack of dressups we managed to get the spook show happening for the Harrisons. Ooooooo Ghostly Mars and Piper Mummy gave us all nightmares!!!<br /><br />Next we continue our southern migration to Angourie and Yamba which should be fantastic.<br /><br />Lastly a huge Happy 50th Birthday to our mate Scratch, we miss you and know you had a great one!<br /><br />Have a great Cup day. Until next time, love to you all<br /><br />Darty, The Big H, Pipitity Pop and Mars Bar

We hope you are enjoying the Spring thaw and sunshine. We are having a lovely time in our never ending summer in the place where every day is perfect!@#?! The sunshine coast was great, we managed to catch up with some friends including James, Kea, Madi, Tess and Angle Turner, Dale Pugsley (Pugs), Jeff Smith (holidaying with family) and Erica, Liam, Riley and Brodie McWilliams.<br /><br />After a lovely weather and good surfs we head up from Coolum to Fraser Island. Had a great time. Really stunning place. Lake McKenzie was clear and warm, we spent hours paddle boarding across which was great. Indian Head was amazing, we were up really high overlooking deep water. We watched huge manta rays swimming and being chased by quite a large shark which was really entertaining. We were glad we didn’t loose any of the kids over the edge as you are really high up. The beach was great. We drove along the beach from north Noosa. The beach driving was like a highway.<br /><br />Off we head down the gold coast off to the glitz and glamour!?! Have had some good surfs at the superbank. Not huge but clean and fun. Melis and Piper have had a blast surfing twice a day in warm clear water. Caught up with Besty down at Kingscliff.<br /><br />We head off to North Stradbroke Island off Brisbane. A great spot that we would highly recommend. Low key, uncrowded and always an offshore wave that picks up heaps of swell. Great camping ground at Cylinder beach. Lots of whale watching and warm, clear water. We had a fantastic week camping here. After ferry back to the main land we had a lovely afternoon with Michelle, Stephen , Poppy and Ruby which was lovely. The kids loved playing with their cousins.<br /><br />We are now back at Kirra Tourist Park. Nice!!! Off to Dreamworld tomorrow. I don’t know what we will now, as we have been bribing the kids with going to Dreamworld the whole trip!<br /><br />Thinking of you all. Take care<br /><br />Melis, Harry, Piper and Marlon XX</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>The happy harrisons travelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05725143072516303680noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2863485458464028852.post-14518533899812250312008-10-07T13:46:00.001-07:002008-10-07T13:56:14.795-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0T5yPf1y87gevMZkPYFLbR5ZBjKVehjBeeMo5UfTqWEaKaKbGKnJ-M9peOeiJ0wchhgbA98b7As8hynImGGChugl1A_MoawOYdT4UN-ll12eIi_GiisFm_GpCRD7RlRcaorB-A4oJuLw/s1600-h/september+08+165.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254518543178694690" style="FLOAT: left;

Big computer problems!! This is our email too. <a href="mailto:maharrison@live.com.au">maharrison@live.com.au</a> <br /><br />Coolum Beach queensland 26th September.<br /><br />Well after a tonne of computer glitches we have been able to post our blogg for august.<br />Well after a fantastic time at the stunning Agnes Waters we found ourselves short of time and down on the sunshine coast ready to meet Dawnie and Brucie (aka mum and dad) at Coolum. We did a couple of trips out to Double Island Point out from Rainbow Beach. Stunning. We decided to do Fraser Island after we see the family on the sunshine coast.<br /><br />Dawnie and Brucie flew in11th September. It was fanastic to see them. We had a great 10 days. Hanging at the beach, trips to Noosa to surf Teatree, Australia Zoo. But it was just great to spend time with them and all relax. The weather is lovely mid twenties and generally clear with a few stormy nights. Swell has been variable but we have had some reasonable surfs at Coolum beachies and Teatree @ Noosa. Mel’s favorite wave.<br /><br />We spent a day at Australia Zoo. No Bindi or Bob sighted. Kids loved it. Better than we all expected. Lots of great animals to see and touch including elephants.<br /><br />Spent a few days at the beautiful Tea tree bay at Noosa. Perfect conditions and a great way to hang out with the family. Ended up on catching up with with Mingo (aka Ian Sykes) and his lovely family and surfing the day away at Noosa.<br /><br />Abit crazy to be back in the civilized world, not having to think about fuel and food for extended periods. Nice but the challenge has eased. We now feel like we are now on holiday.<br /><br />Thanks for all the birthday wishes, 37 isnt so bad. Thinking of you all and hoping Spring is bursting in Viccco to thaw everyones cold bones.<br /><br />Love to you all<br /><br />Melis, Harry, Piper and Marlon XXXXXThe happy harrisons travelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05725143072516303680noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2863485458464028852.post-62311122265468588182008-10-07T13:24:00.000-07:002008-10-07T13:38:19.037-07:00Agnes Waters Queensland 1st September<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgalsUgTNY8zvQmZvpZyD-_n2ou4P6-yAnADNHtTSqGB6yBMi3eOBDpQg7KiIBy31n5n0SjoEzhNgLBDvglyNswsBjtW3fkU93lshhJkp8aC0fBXZoEDGBnEnal8O3HfrkHvIcHFuv7hXc/s1600-h/august+08+742.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5254514063817865314" style="FLOAT: left;

This week we find ourselves in a lovely spot called Agnes Waters, right next to 1770. We are very excited as this is the first place we have had surf for a while. We are at a really nice bush camp beside a great surf beach with nice protected waves and warm water. We plan to stay here a couple more days before we head to Fraser Island and Noosa to meet up with Dawnie and Brucie which will be great for a week.<br /><br />Well last time we blogged we were up at the Daintree and the stunning Cape Tribulation where the rainforest truly does meet the sea. We drove to Cooktown along the Bloomfield track. This dirt track follows the cliff edges up the coast, stunning and entertaining 4WD trail.<br /><br />Cairns was a huge city for us! We saw the sites like Skyrail and Kuranda railway. Rode our bikes km along foreshores and marinas. Stayed at the most expensive caravan park in Australia $70/night!!!! It was like an adventure park for the kids though. We were going to go out to the reef from here but the weather was too rough.<br /><br />Next we head down to Mission beach and the lovely Dunk Island. Really pretty. The day trip to Dunk Island was a lovely respite from caravanning, felt like we were living it up in an island resort. Mission was also stunning and Melis met up with one of her primary school teachers Robyn and her husband Ian which was great.<br /><br />Harry and Piper did a tour of the Sugar cane refinery at Tully, which they found very interesting. Off to Townsville to catch up with cousins, Hi Mandy! Museum of tropical Queensland was fantastic, Marlon just loves museums!<br /><br />Airlie beach was our next destination. Here we caught up with a Melbourne family the Gouldings that we traveled with across the bottom of oz. We stayed at an amazing caravan park which was like a kid resort, lagoon pools, waterslides, parks, mini golf, jumping pillows. The kids were in heaven and we caught our breath for a few days. From Airlie we went out with Crusing Whitsundays to Knuckle Reef on the Great Barrier reef. The huge high speed catamaran took us 80 odd km out to see to the reef. We saw numerous breeching hump back whales at close range which was great. The cat arrived at the Knuckle reef pontoon. Here we proceeded to snorkel the reef which was great fun. Piper was trying to swim down to all the huge maori wrasse (fish). Marlon liked the wrasse too! Harry decided to do an introductory scuba dive. We were able to snorkel above him and watch and then watch him from the underwater observatory which was fab as the kids got to see there dad diving close up. (see the pics) Next out on glass bottom boats, semi submersible vessels and water sliding between snorkeling and buffet lunch. Needless to say we had a really special day and were exhausted afterwards.<br /><br />We left Airlie just as the Outlaw biker gangs were arriving into town which was great. We drove further south, skimming the huge industrial areas of Rockhampton and Gladstone and aiming for the smaller towns of Yepoon and Agnes Waters.<br /><br />Thinking of you all and hoping Melbourne is blossoming with spring time. Go Saints!!<br />Lots of Love<br /><br />Melis, Harry, Piper and Marlon XX</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>The happy harrisons travelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05725143072516303680noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2863485458464028852.post-90399875331538305332008-08-20T03:38:00.000-07:002008-08-20T15:11:20.062-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeq1FXAFYbvUH89fQTWfl7qNRYiu1N9nvU9hg7mQ0wWsBCSbFga2TBaXDyOCyd5euCpwJC7xz9uuFIE8jp0pMRq5u1Rh_9HCtCSHNz0vFEGexjwXR-Tca63JVS2fdiW4VB6iKyjOyUU6w/s1600-h/august+08+420.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5236725881635997474" style="FLOAT: left;

Well we have done an incredible amount of driving in the last week or so. Last time we blogged we were in Darwin. We had a great time there. This included watching the Olympics opening ceremony. The Olympics have been great; we have been listening to ABC radio all the time on the road. Hope you have all been enjoying it too!<br /><br />Well we spent a week in Darwin. The weather was a clear and glorious 32-35 degrees which was lovely. We did the usual site seeing around town, loved the Aviation museum, NT museum, Mindal Markets, Wild Life Park to mention a few. The notable feature of Darwin would have been the constant overhead noise from the aircraft. Between the domestic planes and the RAAF jet fighters and cargo planes. All day and all night really low overhead. Harry thought he was in Top gun!@#?! Seriously a great place to visit, at this time of year.<br /><br />We had a fantastic time at Litchfield National Park too. The stunning water falls and walks were lovely when they were croc free. Crocodiles everywhere. The scenery was just spectacular to say the least with plenty of amazing swims below majestic waterfalls, which has become one of our favorite pastimes while away from the coast.<br /><br />Speaking of crocs we then head off to Crocsville, Kakadu. We didn’t really know what to expect but were very pleasantly surprised. We arrived and went to Fogg Dam which was a stunning floodplain full of birdlife. Next off for an Adelaide River ‘jumping croc’ tour. Sounds touristy was touristy but fun. Plenty of bang for your buck as the grey nomads would put it. You head off on a large double storey barge looking for crocs, within 500m crocs are swimming for the boat. HUGE 3-5 m salties (saltwater crocodiles). Then in great NT style they dangle a huge chunk of buffalo meat over the edge and tease the crocs until they jump out of the water for us to gork at. Corny but a great way to see these fearsome creatures especially for the kids.<br /><br />Off to Jabiru in the north east edge of Kakadu we head. The mining town built for the Jabiluka Uranium mine. It was OK. We tripped up to Umbirr and the aboriginal rock galleries in the north of the park. It was stunning, a completely new experience. The rock art was clear and large with lots open for the public to appreciate. The whole area is based around a large group of huge rocks. At the top of the rocks you climb to a point where you get 360 degree views across Kakadu and Arhnem Land. Spectacular site to say the least especially at sunset.<br /><br />Cooinda was the next stop, yellow water billabong, beautiful and full of huge crocs. And more stunning aboriginal art galleries. From here Piper and Melis went on a bush tucker Safari for the afternoon with an aboriginal lady Patsy. It was a fantastic experience. Off we went and spent the afternoon searching for freshwater mussels, turtles. We feast on Water Lily stem and seeds, Heart of the mini palm, Green ants (yes we ate them and they were great like sour warhead lollies!!!) Also bush honey which was some of the most decadent flavours I have ever taste. To finish off we prepared and cooked Magpie geese and Barramundi aboriginal style with damper. Piper and I were in charge of plucking the feathers off the geese, we looked like feather dusters at the end. All eaten on the edge of a huge floodplain with a million plus birds. It was awesome, especially considering National Geographic were filming and Piper, only child on the tour, was the star of the show. Kakadu was great!!<br /><br />Off we head south to Katherine Gorge and Matarankas Bitter springs. These springs were the best of many we have been to. Imagine a winding river about 5 metres wide curving gently through a majestic palm forest. The water is croc free, 34 degrees and crystal clear and the sun is shining. We spent hours just floating down the current and relaxing in this serene setting. It was difficult to leave.<br /><br />Off we head for Queensland via the Daly Waters. We drove for 4 days about 3000 + km on some of the worse roads we have experienced. Finally we arrived in tropical, overcast Townsville. Not content to stop we continue to drive north to the Daintree. The contrast in landscapes over this time was incredible, dry dusty central queensland to tropical rainforests.<br /><br />We drove as far as Cooktown, the furthest north we will travel in Queensland. The Daintree and Cape Tribulation. The rainforest really does meet the sea, and from the beach you cannot see any signs of buildings, it was stunning.<br /><br />We are now in Cairns, enjoying the perks of a large city after the rural life. I think the small time scene is much more our style though. Weather is cooler than Darwin 25-28 degrees but we are not complaining as we have heard you are having the worse winter in years, sorry we missed it, NOT!!<br /><br />It is a strange feeling now, heading south as before Darwin we were always traveling away from home, but now we are on our way home in a long way round. Don’t be mislead however we won’t be back until Christmas.<br /><br />Thanks again for all your lovely emails, texts and phone calls, we miss you all very much and think of you often.<br /><br />Until next time. Love to you all.<br /><br />Melis, Harry, Piper and Marlon XXXX<br /><br />PS.

We are pretty close to as far north in Australia as we will go. It feels a long way from home when you have driven.<br /><br />We last signed off at Broome. We spent our last few days riding camels on the beach at sunset, watching the Staircase to the moon (reflection of rising moon on Roebuck mudflats) really stunning and swimming at Cable beach.<br /><br />From Broome we head off to Derby and the start of the Gibb River Road and the Kimberley. We are now well and truly in Crocville. We arrived at the amazing Winjana Gorge. At first just an impressive gorge, at second glance home to 100+ large freshwater crocodiles that you can walk very close to. The kids loved it. From here we head to Tunnel Creek. This 750m long creek tunnel runs under a mountain range. Sounds nice except you have to wade through cold water in pitch black darkness that is home to Fresh water crocodiles and bats just to top off the scary experience. It got the heart racing especially with Harry the prankster. Kids loved it.<br /><br />Over a week we then head through Fitzroy Crossing and Halls Creek, to the Purunlulu National Park or the Bungle Bungles as we all know. We left our van and took in our tent and drove some pretty crazy tracks to view this impressive site. The walks here we stunning and the Bungles breathtaking to say the least.<br /><br />Off to the East Kimberley, Kununara, regroup and fuel up. Scrub ourselves of red dust. Kununara was moist and green after the red of the Kimberley. Off the El Questro next. This special station was incredible. Amazing gorge walks with refreshing pools to swim in and water falls. Also Hot Springs amongst palms and gorges. The camp ground was one of the best we stayed at complete with croc free swimming hole. Grassy sites and tall trees. Wyndam was a drive. Next off to Lake Argyle, an amazing inland sea and dam wall. We did some huge kilometers from here and finally crossed the border and entered the Northern Territory. Exciting as we have been in WA for a long time. We loved it but it is huge.<br /><br />Our first stop at NT was Katherine. Again stunning warm Hot Springs, we will return here to do the National Parks. Nice to swim in the 35 degree weather. So here we are now in Darwin. The Kimberley was amazing, especially for sea lovers like ourselves who struggle inland.<br /><br />Darwin is a lovely city, warm, green lots of places to swim and feels similar in size to Geelong.<br /><br />Thank you for your emails they are great, we miss you all heaps. Can you believe we left home over 6 months ago now!!! Until we next write love to you all.</div></div></div></div></div>The happy harrisons travelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05725143072516303680noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2863485458464028852.post-81886199428139918332008-07-20T19:15:00.000-07:002008-07-20T20:05:35.220-07:00Broome WA 20 july 08<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizD8VaNFjxM94PpHaP6xKpjg1KM3JqMcUC1t6PiYXVcMRsKGCWoNsmABm2NWT7uatCDKzHwimlMFDDgT_gq6PCGWq0VL18ch3ewaq17_qoBo5vA7whaMoyEyN1ho0mqo7q_9uW3rz1Bfw/s1600-h/whale+sharks+061.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225295394525279250" style="FLOAT: left;

A lovely station on beautiful beaches with a fantastic climate. Weather is nothing short of perfect. 28-30 degree breathless days, no flies or bugs. Last time we wrote we had just arrived at Exmouth. Exmouth initially appeared to be a bland and seemingly uninteresting place, but after 10 days here we all feel the complete opposite. We stayed at the lighthouse caravan park out of town on the edge of Cape Range National park. Here we met up with our friend Frank Hayter. Frank went to Peru with us. We had several good surfs at the dunes about 5 minutes away and Harry surfed Yardie Creek several times and enjoyed it. We went into Cape Range National Park every day where the kids could surf a great surf break at Wobbiri in clear warm water with turtles to keep them company. We did lots of snorkeling particularly at Turquoise bay where you do a drift dive. We saw lots of turtles, sharks, dugongs and fish. Really fantastic. Nice warm clear water too!!<br /><br />Half way through our time at Exmouth we decided to snorkel with the whale sharks. Initially only Melis and Piper were going but we decided all to do it, which was fab. With another family we have been traveling with the Schindlers we embark on one of the most amazing experiences of our life. It was incredible. You are on a boat about 3 km off the coast, at the back of Ningaloo reef standing on the marlin board (step at the back of the boat) waiting for the big GOGOGO!!! Off you all jump, look down at a bottom you cannot see then focus ahead, within 30 seconds a huge 10 metre long 4 m girth whale sharks swims straight for you. You are within 3 metres of the shark with your heart in your mouth. Moments later you are right beside the shark and swimming frantically along side trying to keep up. Which you do for 10 minutes then group together like bait and wait for the boat to pick you up. Incredible. We do this 6 times which was amazing getting longer each time and on different whalesharks. Second time we could see the bottom of the sea which was a bit weird, along with turtles and reef sharks swimming by, but you are way too busy being gobsmacked by the whaleshark. You could see the outline of the whaleshark from the boat. Piper loved the experience. She is one brave kid not hesitating for a second at any point. After we finished diving the whale sharks, the boat went in search of Manta Rays. Apparently they had been scarce this season, but not that day. The boat found 4! All of us including Marlon went looking for them. After 3 false starts we were amongst these huge flying sea giants. The swam figure eights around the group coming close enough to touch. Incredible. Piper said after getting out the water that the Manta Rays were better than Disneyland!! We were all stoked!!<br /><br />After a few more days hanging at the Cape Range National Park, surfing and snorkeling we said goodbyes to our mate Frankie and head 600km inland for Tom Price and Karijini National Park. Tom Price is a huge mining town, we did a tour of the Rio Tinto Open cut Iron ore mine, the tonka trucks were huge, Marlon thought it was great. Then we head further on to Karijini National Park. We camped at Dales camp and spent our days hiking and swimming the labyrinth of gorges. Wading freezing cold water with kids on the shoulders through ducts and ladders and tunnels to beautiful pools. We were going to stay a day and stayed 5 hiking different gorges everyday.<br /><br />Then onto Eighty Mile beach via Port Hedland. Port Hedland is a huge mining port and not a place we choose to pause. Eighty Mile was a great place to shower and wash after lacking these amenities for a week. Huge wide beaches with 8 metre tides. Then to Barn Hill a cheap camp outside Broome. Really pretty beaches with red cliffs.<br /><br />Yesterday we arrived in Broome. We were expecting the worse but pleasantly surprised. Really pretty, like Byron Bay a little. Cable beach is nice, kids have been surfing here and having a blast. Tonight watched the sunset and then watched the moonrise over the mud flats and reflect on the mudflats ‘Staircase to the moon’. Suprisingly stunning. The next few days we will finish exploring Broome then head onto Derby and Gibb River Road.<br /><br />We hope everyone is well back at home and enjoyinglife. We miss you all very much and think of you often. We love getting you emails. Keep in touch. Speak to you soon, Mel, Harry, Piper and Marlon XXXXX</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>The happy harrisons travelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05725143072516303680noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2863485458464028852.post-10666603828106476842008-06-28T20:49:00.000-07:002008-06-28T21:09:53.375-07:00exmouth more pics<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtZD_n4UMTVc4f7Rg1FTha9PXXgwS_ER_JPa661qJvWg63a-ERepbk6p97qNZQlhw7B1sg08wF5ZTyZzC6gyqcaTa1DDdVEXHlkwLsK353yCKnwRbv6rTGJRM9rwpT25A2sxpibrWOa5o/s1600-h/oz+after+peru+275+090.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217150290874790082" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtZD_n4UMTVc4f7Rg1FTha9PXXgwS_ER_JPa661qJvWg63a-ERepbk6p97qNZQlhw7B1sg08wF5ZTyZzC6gyqcaTa1DDdVEXHlkwLsK353yCKnwRbv6rTGJRM9rwpT25A2sxpibrWOa5o/s320/oz+after+peru+275+090.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglC_I0XOIGpMYihJLIRtfGcdApNL7uWhieC4G541XXWK9fW1GxU7ghDubbkWp3YuK5wUzq2hpNJUtn_knDMByClwTDstyulZ3SOHb-a_wnHkxvBJZQWR3N9aFTAql9nRZwfXZKSAuZEYE/s1600-h/oz+after+peru+275+118.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217149404577509906" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglC_I0XOIGpMYihJLIRtfGcdApNL7uWhieC4G541XXWK9fW1GxU7ghDubbkWp3YuK5wUzq2hpNJUtn_knDMByClwTDstyulZ3SOHb-a_wnHkxvBJZQWR3N9aFTAql9nRZwfXZKSAuZEYE/s320/oz+after+peru+275+118.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>Above Pinnacle Dessert<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLNc2jZx5EyJdArfiIN4_JChxOUM_ndhUCTtF0uSJ5hhJXs0QzT4opMshkm91X_kmfMo7BIUzwIPj-lmLoQ1VQYDyEL3oWpRZg3ccFg3y8s9T6yGHHDhNSZpkRm937T2rehDL4Xe0_ENA/s1600-h/oz+after+peru+275+117.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217148169127532050" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLNc2jZx5EyJdArfiIN4_JChxOUM_ndhUCTtF0uSJ5hhJXs0QzT4opMshkm91X_kmfMo7BIUzwIPj-lmLoQ1VQYDyEL3oWpRZg3ccFg3y8s9T6yGHHDhNSZpkRm937T2rehDL4Xe0_ENA/s320/oz+after+peru+275+117.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /> Above Harry Jakes Point Kalbarri<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6_wiEyrZoB50SNvyJAvmWxtqrlk1EHIdJbsr1rlvCFLdoybUZN2aD1P0sxGO_stbniwZp7aMtyBBKuJzFxPWOTsiVNOayoPsKQlw5caNeg2SM5fcyknaFsBHgdw5lsVmuuUtUbKFRl4o/s1600-h/fordys+pics+163.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5217147120018199314" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6_wiEyrZoB50SNvyJAvmWxtqrlk1EHIdJbsr1rlvCFLdoybUZN2aD1P0sxGO_stbniwZp7aMtyBBKuJzFxPWOTsiVNOayoPsKQlw5caNeg2SM5fcyknaFsBHgdw5lsVmuuUtUbKFRl4o/s320/fordys+pics+163.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div>Above Jakes Point Kalbarri!!

I know it seems like we have just fallen off the face of the earth, but we are just traveling through the communication impaired and frequently impossible Western Australian outback. Well we are back in cyber space for a small and hopefully more regular period.<br />Today finds us in sunny and windy Exmouth. Last blogg we had just arrived back in oz after Peru and US. Let us fill in the blanks for the last 6 weeks.<br />After a fab trip overseas we arrived back to a sunny Perth. We spent a week here re grouping and exploring. We had an overnight trip to Rottnest Island which was great. Off to the Pinnacles we went. We decided to ride through this limestone finger desert on our bikes which was fantastic. See pics.<br />We then hit the road and head for Geralton, stayed at Greenough River mouth and surfed fun waves. Next head off to Kalbarri. Arrived at Jakes Point to 8 foot bombs, not a good way start the heaviest wave in Australia. As Harry learnt he had his best go downs on the smaller days with a good mopping over the reef. Did a bit of fishing and caught and threw back about 2 dozen tiny nemos. Great for kids big and small. Meet up with some great families whom we continued to travel on with for a while. After 5 days at Kalbarri we made our way to Shark Bay/Denham/Monkey Mia. Much to Harry and Piper surprise there was NO monkeys only man eating mosquitos and untouchable dolphins. We were going to spend a week here but the mossies were so bad we left after two nights. So bad in fact they bombed the entire town after we left. Monkey Mia was great for the kids they got to experience dolphins close up and feed them fish BUT no touchy touch unlike Seaworld USA, much to Marlon’s disappointment. Although a Pelican did try and eat Marlon for lunch!!!<br />From Shark bay we drove to Carnavon to refuel, water and food up before heading into Gnaraloo. Great fruit and veggies!! Then off to Gnaraloo. 2 hour sandy road into 3 mile camp was a good work out for the van. Had booked months ago so had a fantastic site right on beach front next to lagoon. Wow what an amazing place. Simple existence, luke warm, low pressure, salty bore water showers, toilets and open camp fires. BYO everything else including copius amounts of h2o. No mobile phone reception. We ended up extending and spent a total of 5 weeks in here with 3 trips to Carnavon for supplies an friends. It was fantastic, best place we have been to date. Surf was great, lots of variety depending upon the conditions. The Lagoon out front was sheltered and housed an abundance of tropical coral, fish and turtles in less than 2 metres of water. So many fish that one day melis had a swim got out and was chatting and thought that she had a bug crawl into her bather bottoms but on examination pulled out a 10cm fish. Every day we would snorkel. The water was warm and clear. Simple stunning. The kids loved snorkeling and paddle boarding around the lagoon.<br />After a week a good friend of ours Jeff Sweeney arrived solo to spend a week with us. We had good weather and surf and lots of fun. Surfing turtles and Tombstones. Camping next to us were the 4 Rye lads, Hank, Flash, Rob and Kelvin!! We had a great time with them too. Hey Sweens jokes over!! But we were only alone for 2 days for Paul Trigger and Simon Forward arrived. They had hired a caravan up the back but when they arrived and opened up it had not been used this season. It was full of mice, spiders and dirt. So after about 2 minutes discussion they moved into Parklane and the East wing at Camp Harrison (aka small tent). We had a really interesting 10 days with them including one day that it rained for 24 hours straight and flood out the place. See muddy pics of Piper and Marlon. We had great waves with the fellas. After 10 great days they hit the sky too! 2 days later Dawnie and Brucie (aka mum and dad) came to join us for 8 days. We had a great time lots of laughs, snorkels and camp fires. Another highlight was Harry and Piper surfing Tomestones on the tandem. Fantastic!! See the pics. We took them to Carnavon and hit the road ourselves for Warroora station.<br />After plenty of tears of departed grandparents from Piper we arrived at a Warrorra. We followed a seedy 4wd track into Stephens a huge test for the van. We stayed here and had a great 3 days. Surf was small but clean and fun. Harry caught a 5 foot reef shark by the tail in the shorebreak at Warrora while about to paddle out for a surf and feed the entire camp. But the challenge of getting out of the camp up a huge sandy, curvy, mountain track was huge. But we did it much to our relief without destroying the car or van.<br />We then head off to Coral bay for a couple of nights. We spent our time snorkeling and paddle boarding around the bay. Nice but not as pretty as Gnaraloo lagoon and lots of people. Off to Exmouth we head to meet up with our friend form Peru Frank Hayter. Arrived to stormy unsetteled weather. First day drove into the Cape Range National park exploring to mouth of Yardie creek. Nice. Then we drove back to Turquoise bay for a drift snorkel. You drop into one end of the lagoon and the currents take you to the other end over the coral. Frank and Melis went first seeing plenty including a pair of 7 foot reef sharks directly under them. Harry, Frank and Piper went second of course stretching the realm and swimming out further and closer to the exit reef drift than anyone else with a outstanding last minute exit from the lagoon just missing the huge current to the outer reef. Very memorable to say the least.<br />Yesterday we all had a small offshore surf at the Dunes at Lighthouse. Piper had a great surf getting heaps of waves and even surfing with turtles and dugongs. Fishing in the afternoon catching heaps of little coral things but barely a meal. The wind is up and we have a week further here. Hope the surf improves but you can’t complain its warm and sunny unlike home!! Bad luck!! Living the eternal summer. Thinking of you all keep safe. A huge congratulations to Sam and Des on the early arrival of their son. Drop us an email all.</div></div></div></div>The happy harrisons travelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05725143072516303680noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2863485458464028852.post-33441848697639113882008-04-28T16:33:00.000-07:002008-04-28T17:13:48.794-07:00back in oz<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLelNDBnSMRU1H42zpFu7wZGnDLe3ZymTWLeRXX-hJCvUE4YTO1GSxdPnAzlW3FUOu6SHmCgVfgFnYPXXFsOlSnixue8H3DW3KGSzJXeRMpnWNkxX5zcRCG0McO2KLdQQ_BGrPwyq6Sj0/s1600-h/1st+memory+card+peru+927.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5194453694582898450" style="FLOAT: left;

We then head to the Mountains of Cuzco at 3500m with Lloydy. Amazing place. Went up to machu Picchu and were completely blown away, the whole country just knocks your socks off with contrasts. Mountains, Jungles to desert. Machu pichu was just incredible, better than I could have imagined. Kids have had a blast. Loving all the ruins, climbing and spanish. They are travelling amaing. really lapping up the experinece. Both are speaking spanish. marlon introduces himself as Nombre (name) Marlon, Hola (hello), Gracias (thanks). Amazing really. Weather is very warm we packed too many warm clothes. Heading back south to the beaches for a couple of days before flying to LA on Friday night. Caught up with Dartys friend patty which has been great. Missing everyone heaps, feels like we have been away forever.

Very dry. had excitemnet if you call it that of two earthquakes 5.5 of ricter scale!!!! One during middle of night where we just lie in bed trying to fathom what was going on adn one at breakfast where we couldnt get out of the concrete death box quick enough. Very scary, normal here but not for us. We are all ok and apparently they come in twos pop out of place then back into place. Staying in cool place clean and nice. Pool and right at the contest break. Contest begins tommorow. had opening cermony, like surfing olympics. Really big deal, team parades with flags exhibitions. Twenty counteries competeing Peru is now recognised as the home of surfing in latin America. Country clubs on beach. Settling into place, my nerves are easing. Hope all is great at home.

We are on the West coast of peru south of Lima at El Silencio. It is really warm and humid despite being like a desert. The kids were amazing on the 36 hour joruney here, not a squeak out of them. I think they have recovered quicker too. Our Spanish is improving by the minute as very limited english is spoken which is great. Surf is amazing, point breaks everywhere and huge, first day 10-12 ft. No onshore breezes, glassy all day, not many surfers.<br /><br />Lima is like the wild west to look at but the people are freindly and love children. They are not as shocked by the blonde hair as I thought. Piper and marlon are loving the experience. Contest starts in a few days should be great, huge event, people from everywhere.<br /><br />Sorry for not being able to catch up with anyone when in melbourne we were running organising Peru.<br /><br />Will keep in touch, have another 9 days here then head for the Andes, Cuzco and machu Pichu.<br /><br />Love to you all<br /><br />Melis, Harry, Pipers and Marlon XXThe happy harrisons travelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05725143072516303680noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2863485458464028852.post-11612587042580114602008-03-18T13:33:00.000-07:002008-03-18T13:44:16.812-07:00Home sweet home!!!

Tha above of pictures from the Margaret River region. The first at the Lake cave. Amazing! The other was taken at the top of the tallest lighthouse in Australia at Cape Leewin. It is the most South west point of our continent. At this point the Indian ocean warm currents and Cooler Southern ocean currents meet. Creating aparently amazing amounts and varieties of sea life. We send you all our love over Easter and are thinking of you all. until next time!</div><div> </div><div>LOve</div><div>The Happy Harrisons</div></div>The happy harrisons travelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05725143072516303680noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2863485458464028852.post-49933413538757781752008-03-11T00:22:00.000-07:002008-03-11T00:29:29.744-07:00Margaret River WA 11 marchHi everyone, sorry havent blogged for a week, been very bust organising our trip to Peru.

Thanks for all your lovely emails and posts to the blogg aparently at the bottom of the page. Well we have been very busy since Streaky Bay SA. WE left the following day for Cactus SA. What an amzing place. Aparently some of the best waves in oz. It was fab. Very basic living in the dunes and scrub, bore water shower, pit toilets, no shops for 50kms, then only a petrol station. We had a great week here met some great people, had fab surf, caught fish and had a blast grubbing around. No sharp pointy tooth creatures. A couple of days ago we left and head across the Nullabor. I now feel aussie. It was a huge drive. 7 hours the first day then 9 hours the next on very straight roads. But it was suprisingly pretty. The kids did well despite the marathon effort. We are all exhausted but great to be in sunny Esperance. Seems nice. Havent explored yet, will head out to stay in National park tommorow. Spent today washing everything and cleaning out the dust and dirt of the last few weeks. Missing everyone heaps but riding the journey. Have met great people. <br /><br />Love to you all<br /><br />Melis, H, Pipes and Mars xxxxThe happy harrisons travelshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05725143072516303680noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2863485458464028852.post-54435777757449081252008-02-12T19:21:00.000-08:002008-02-12T19:32:18.070-08:00Streaky bay 13 feb<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgooP7XyWSQITYxxilvySZm7tO_HVT1PJCF-8Yz4rdkr-Ciq-qbWhwAbyl9xfXfE13OynIDkuKjPHIoPm66l4Il9wZyDuUZ_VQs9H3UcyvYqgh_tY9ucHjrxEf_PAY00LOphiYeeRpaYZs/s1600-h/feb08+252.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5166301933703163698" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgooP7XyWSQITYxxilvySZm7tO_HVT1PJCF-8Yz4rdkr-Ciq-qbWhwAbyl9xfXfE13OynIDkuKjPHIoPm66l4Il9wZyDuUZ_VQs9H3UcyvYqgh_tY9ucHjrxEf_PAY00LOphiYeeRpaYZs/s320/feb08+252.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Hi all hope this finds you all happy and healthy.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>We the trip continues.
