If we are late risers on the trip so far I think this one
was extreme sleeping in, for us at least! In the end we had to really get
moving so we were out in time for the 10 o’clock check out!
We headed into
Mandurah where we were meeting Nana, Shelby and the boys at the Crabfest a
local festival which in the end had very little to do with crabs, but they had
to call it something I suppose!

| About the only thing that had anything to do with crabs! |
We wondered through the pulsing crowd with stand after stand
of food and other goof for sale. Mandurah is a pretty town with a southbank
style entertainment area built around the lake that comes of the river mouth.
There must have been 50 – 70,000 people squashed in so it was hard going after
we probably haven’t seen that many people in the last two months! We grabbed
some prawn and crab rolls, had a quick look around and watched a cooking demo,
where they did a crab pasta dish and then headed north to Fremantle.
On our trip along the highway I had to merge and a nice person let me in, I flashed my indicators to thanks them. A while later they came up alongside us and they had a hand written sign as in the picture below. We have our blog address written on the back of the van and these nice people must have looked it up as they were travelling along. It made us feel very welcome!
The boys were straight on their bikes dreaming up new tricks
and jumps scaring the heck out of their nana as we relaxed with a few ales and
wines. Inspired by the cooking demo I pulled out 4 crabs that we had caught in
Streaky Bay and cooked them up. I think the receipe they gave out was wrong as
it asked for 3 tbs of kaffir lime leaves. It wasn’t too bad but I think it
would have been better with 3 tsp.....
