So you probably all know from me banging on about it on my
FB page and here, I’ve been away. Took the train from Sydney to Perth. Did some
touring round southern Western Australia. Went to the RWAustralia conference in
Freemantle. Then did a writer’s retreat on Rottness Island for a four days.
And I’m totally exhausted!
But I promised you pics and it’s a lazy way to blog :-) so....

Now I've loaded all these pics I hope the site doesn't crash but I just couldn't resist!
My mind's definitely made up, I'll be heading back west again for sure particularly to Rottness Island which was just divine! But for now - I'm going to sleep!
Where's been the best place you've ever holidayed?
