Getting a bit sick of listening to the ABC all day it’s time for me to find a shopping centre. Would you believe the nearest Woolworths is nearly 200 kms away. oh well nothing better to do . The roads are narrow strips of bitumen, flat and straight, mostly speed rated at 110. I thought it was great that I sat on about 120 or so most of the way. Chris on the other hand wasn’t impressed, saying to remember it is a diesel motor and not to flog it like that, OK ! Quite like the town of Northam, has Aldi, Spotlight, Coles/ Kmart, and Woolworths, where I like to shop. That done and it’s time to head back. On the way home I stopped in Dowerin to take a photo of Rusty the tin dog, made by school children, has an interesting story, if like to look it up. 
We had a couple of very hot days,and by thursday afternoon as the sun went down the thunder and lightning started. I was out trying to get some photos, when I noticed the red glow, thought it was still the sun setting at first, then it become more evident that a fire had started. 
In the end it spread over 300 hectares and farmers losing $ 3.6 million in crops. Thankfully no homes were lost. Over 15 fires started that night from lightning, and no rain to put them out.! A couple of long days for Chris, with farmers in a rush to get their grain off the paddocks. Then it was Friday pizza night at the Kennel and drinks with a few of the other drivers in town. A few laughs and a lot of truck talk, I am the only woman there, as the drivers are mainly from out of town. Our drive on Sunday went north out around Xantippe
There is a water hole in the granite rocks built in 1904, for the men constructing the rabbit proof fence back then. Over 2 metres deep, as Chris checked with a piece of wire he found.
From there to more granite rocks protruding above ground, hence the name of Petrudor Rocks.
Boys and their toys,… lucky i didn’t have to use this. And no I didn’t check it out either.
On the way home we called into Dalwallinu for a cuppa, then took the back road home, going around paddocks and along bush tracks, yes more flowers, seems I can’t get enough of natures garden. Here is some photos I took with my phone, as some stupid woman left the camera in the van. Hope you like flowers as much as I do. The bush is in full bloom at the moment. This Post will catch me up to date with what I have taken so far. Now been away for 9 months. 
Lastly a twin wheel, windmill just out of Kalannie. not sure what the idea is for this, other than two heads are better than one. !!
