Mother’s Day began with a variety of activities (more or less) in each van – some were treated to bacon and eggs, others made their own toast and some did not get a “Happy Mother’s Day” greeting – but individuals shall remain nameless to avoid embarrassment!

The weather had started to deteriorate with clouds rolling in as we drove in to Margaret River to go to Margaret River Baptist Church as today was Sunday.

The church was small but the people were very friendly and we had some interesting conversations over coffee after the service which was straight to the point – that people need Jesus as without Him we face a lost eternity…

After the service, Rose, Dave, Klaus and Beryl drove north to Busselton to look at the famous wharf…

We went for coffee at the Margaret River Bakery – a very eclectic little eatery to say the least….

We drove out to Surfer’s Point to check out the surf. Unlike yesterday, the swell was big – unfortunately I had left the camera with the zoom lens back in camp so no close up shots…

The afternoon went quickly as we sorted out some things at the campsite then went out to Gracetown as Trev and Gordie were hoping for a swim/ surf – unfortunately the weather had turned and the swell had dropped – a storm was closing in fast from the west as we watched a couple of dolphins swim past…

There were a few surfers out there making what they could of the conditions…. The calm before the storm so to speak!

A guy on an aerofoil with a remote tow-in device was having a bit of fun in the gentle waves….

As the storm broke, we went back to camp and caught up with the others who had just returned…

A quiet day for Mother’s Day – but we all had spoken to our kids which was great! The cloud cover tonight was prohibitive – we did take a quick drive out to the point at 2200hrs hoping to see more of the aurora but to no avail….
