Holiday time

A few more days work for Chris. Most of the crops are in, so we hooked up the van and headed out of town.

Nice to be on the road again, stopping at Meckering, a town that had been destroyed by an earthquake in 1968.

It’s now a nice tidy town with a free camp in the centre, there is a beautiful memorial rose garden, which attracts the birds and tourists. 

Next day we stopped off for a wander around York, as it was new years eve, we couldn’t spend as much time as we would have liked there, so intend to call back in on our way back up to Kalannie in a few weeks.

On the road again, and not far out of Perth we check into a park owned by the seventh day adventist church at Maida Vale, we needed somewhere secure to leave the van while we have a week in perth. Off to the fireworks on the Swan River to celebrate the start of 2019. Hopefully it will be a good one, and lots more adventures.

Christmas 2018 Kalannie WA

Christmas day was a warm one, and no rain in site. I decided to make our day a special one, even though we are over here without family.  Luckily I have an electric fan forced oven, that cooked a roast pork and veggies just right. Crackling was our entree, and it wouldn’t be christmas without trifle. No pudding this year, i’m so overweight as it is. I’m sure 2/3 of the trifle hasn’t helped.! Lunch done, our afternoon was taken up with phone calls with family over East, and an afternoon nap. Thank goodness for air conditioning as it was still very warm as the sun went down. In all a nice relaxing day.
