The grass tree ranges across the length and breadth of the country that sings to me, that I was born in, that flows up through my feet. Whenever I leave my country I feel cut off and bereft.

I have no idea how I'm going to cope with going all the way to Finland in a year or two..

But summer in Mandurah means waders, waders, waders.
Some of them have come a very long way indeed, all the way from Siberia! The waters we will be travelling have been designated a Ramsar site - a site of International Significance for birds.

There are four sorts of cormorant commonly found in Mandurah waters, but unless they're grouped together they can be tricky to classify. This is a Little Pied Cormorant. There is a larger Pied Cormorant, but it has more colour on its face.

Look out for Pied Oystercatchers!

Rob and I have fishing licenses, so if you want to try some fishing you are permitted to do that on the boat, as long as Rob and I are both on board. A boat catch limit and size limits apply.

Hello there!

Hello there! Some of you I know can't make it so here's somewhere you can enjoy it vicariously.  Those who are coming - remember we need 24 hours notice to pick you up - preferably off one of the Mandurah Jetties.

It's actually a bit of a pain to get back to Ravenswood so we're trying to avoid it if we can. Train and shuttlebus to Mandurah. Try and coordinate yourselves so that we can pick up several people at once. We need to know if you're staying overnight and when. Bring sheets&pillowslip if you're staying overnight.

Have a super Christmas everyone!

Hi John Samuel hope you had a good flight.

Hi John Samuel hope you had a good flight. Unfortunately we're hit by a bit of sadness here as my grandmother, Ros's mum passed away about 2:00 pm Christmas Eve.

What do you want to know about the houseboat?

Having just experienced a cracked waterpipe deep underground, I can highly recommend www.hydrosonic.com.au -  Peter Ruddle quickly found the pipe, dug it up (through a tricky maze of big tree roots) and replaced it, all with good humour and professionalism.

He has a very interesting array of detectorers to help him in his work.

We're very impressed! So if you're in Perth, and your water meter is counting when there's no water turned on give Peter a ring.
