Harri's Travels Take 5.

Crikey ..... the last time I handed over to our Harri was in March and it's now June so here's the Bungle Bungles as promised way back then.This is one of  Mum and Dad's very favourite parts of Australia. It's in Western Australia and it's pretty spectacular. It was relatively unknown and definitely  unheard of until 1983 when an Australian film crew discovered it. It's worth googling if you are in any ways interested. It is now World heritage listed and even I have to say it's very beautiful. Mum said the road in left a bit to be desired. I wouldn't like that part too much but Harri used to lap up those road trips. There was a funny story involved so I'd best relate that part I guess. Seems the best way to really see the Bungle Bungles is by chopper. Well Mum and Dad decided to do it. Harri had to stay back at the camp site. He was good like that!! You couldn't leave me anywhere. Not even for five minutes. I'd be a nervous wreck!! Anyway Mum and Dad set out for the chopper ride. When they got there they were told there were no doors on the chopper (for better viewing) and they couldn't take ANYTHING with them other than a camera which must be worn around their neck. Nothing was to be in their pockets. No hat on their heads. Nothing!!  Now Mum had and still has long hair. She thought the no hat thing was going to be a problem so she decided to plait her hair thinking that would hold it safe. Now I don't know if you have been in a chopper with no doors but fair dinkum ..... the wind factor ..... OMD!!!!  Those plaits lasted about five seconds and Mums hair was flying all over the place. She didn't even worry about it as she was having such a good time but ..... CRIKEY .... when she got back on the ground and Dad saw her he burst out laughing. When Mum looked in a mirror she knew why. What a mess!! That wasn't the worst part though.  The KNOTS .... fair dinkum .... it took ages to get them out and not only that but she lost heaps of hair in the process. She ended up having to have her hair cut to enable it to recover properly. No more chopper rides for Mum!! 
Well it's over to our Harri with the photos ... and just for Harri ... UP THE IRISH!!

They stopped here for a picnic lunch. It was the beginning of the bungles.

On the road in.

From the chopper!!

Walking around!!
This was another spot they visited. They flew in here by chopper too. It had doors. The road trip in is long and arduous.

Mum loved these trees.  Good for peeing on but that's about all I reckon.

How pretty is this spot. Parry's lagoon. Another nightmare road but well worth it, aye??  The bird life was amazing. Imagine me there. I'd have given those birds hurry up, aye?? Not Harri. He just slept on in the car.
OMD!! I s'pose I've gotta say he was good lookin', aye??
Just so you remember whose blog this is!!
Wanna run .... Love, Charlie

    3. Crikey Mr JF Sir ...... I feel better now. Thankyou!! I'm sure you're right but boy they sure loved that bloke and Lucy too. I have quite the job filling those boots, aye?? I'm pretty sure I'm wheedling my way in. It took me a bit to settle in. They got Harri and Lucy as little puppies. I was 6 months old and a bit stand offish at first. Not any more!! I'm a real snuggly bunny now!! Bunny ...... did I say bunny????????? CRIKEY .....

  3. There is NO WAY SHE would go in a copter with NO doors. SHE did go on one with doors in Alaska and sat in the middle, between two people so they'd fall out first.

    Never been to WA except to get on the Indian Pacific to come back to Sydney. Would love to see a photo of the hair!

    1. Your Mum and Dad are going to retire back here?? You mean we might get to meet. When? Crikey I hope it's soon. There's so much to see, aye? Mum and Dad have been to lots of Australia but they still have a 'to do list'. They haven't been to Wave rock yet. They got very close once but ran out of time.

  13. The little trash can is if you want to delete your own link. If you grab the code and put it on your blog (under HTML) then all the links also appear on your blog.

    1. Crikey .... thanks Murphy .... I'll give it a try but my Mum doesn't really understand all the tech stuff. I think I'm stuck with just doing my posts and joining in with all the Blogville stuff when and IF I can. The blog hop thingie has Mum completely baffled.

    2. She's going Finley ..... she's going!!!! Next year she reckons. Dad's makin' her go. She's a worry wart and would go nowhere if it weren't for him. She's nervous about it already. Arizona is one of the places on Dad's list. They are off to Europe in a few weeks time. Mum's a wreck!! She'll be alright once she gets there but the plane trip really freaks her out. Then she's got to get home and she freaks out about the plane trip all over again. No they don't travel overseas every year. This is their first overseas trip since 2004.
