Quinninup

That's our campervan in the background
We decided to stop at at the tiny hamlet of Qunninup for the night on our way to Pembroke – mainly because we had phoned the caravan park there to check availability and the woman was so chaotically friendly and promised a kleptomaniac emu (Eno) at the park that we couldn’t resist. It was the funniest, emptiest park (including a collection of about three thousand garden gnomes – and I don’t think I’m exaggerating) but was SURROUNDED by kangaroos and two very curious emus. Eno didn’t steal anything of ours but in the past he has eaten car keys (left on a table) and even leaned into a car window to snatch the pearl earring out of a woman’s ear! 
Breakfast was fun, just sitting our camper van in the morning watching the hundreds of kangaroos grazing – including one lazy joey who just grazed from his mother’s pouch.

Joey in the pouch! Having a drink.





There were some big fellas

The ultimate reading accessory - kangaroos...


Kangaroos and garden gnomes - pretty much sums it up. 
This was just one part of the collection of the gnomes. Kind of creepy, actually...
