Mindarie

Todd and Andrea's house is beautiful - even if it is still in the renovation stage

Andrea opens the door

Mindarie is up the coast from Perth - and yes this is the Indian Ocean!

This is the start of the Mindarie Marina. We see people fishing at the end of it often. And apparently there are a lot of dolphins - but we didn't see any.

This coast is known as the Sunset Coast, but sadly it clouds over too much for a good sunset.

Andrea has a great Clarice Cliff dinner set. What about those pink salad servers, Jackie??

Todd has flown in from KL Malaysia overnight where he manages drilling on oil/gas rigs. After a hearty breakfast  we take the dogs for a walk past the marina and then round onto the beach walkway. Fortunately it is not the season for snakes! It is spitting slightly and looks quite overcast.

There are osprey on the coast and they have built structures for them to nest in - but they prefer to nest on decorative features down by the Marina.

Henri is in the blue, Daisy is in the fluoro yellow. They are Papillion.
