After two lovely weeks house- and dog-sitting in Melville, we’re back in the Mobi for another four weeks of van life. After that? Who knows! By then, Christmas will be just around the corner, and I’ll be saying my final farewell at work — probably with a grin wide enough to qualify as a safety hazard.
Right now, we’ve parked ourselves near one of Western Australia’s many world-class beaches. And no, that’s not just hometown bias talking — they really are some of the best beaches on the planet. White sand, turquoise water, sunshine… what more could you want?
Well, maybe slightly fewer sharks. Because as it happens, this is prime “Jaws” season, so I’ll be admiring the view from a safe and sensible distance — preferably behind a large coffee and some shade. Debbie, of course, might be braver… or just more easily tempted by a paddle.
For now, we’re happy just winding the clock down, soaking up the sea breeze, and getting used to calling the Mobi “home.” The real adventure is right around the corner — and this little warm-up lap isn’t a bad way to start.
