Time to catch up …… Well February arrived as did a lot of work and long hours for Chris. He usually has Sundays off, so we are still able to get out and explore around to area. I look forward to this as being in the van for up to 17 hrs a day by myself , is making me miss Family, friends home and garden more. Although this lifestyle has its pitfalls, and is not always as good as it’s cracked up to be, we want to see as much of this country while we are able. Working is a necessity, and the friends and experiences, we are having, is second to none ! So privileged and wouldn’t change it ! One thing I never get bored as we have good phone service, TV, even get to watch the midday movies, do too much cooking, i’m back into knitting, and of course photography. The family Chris works for are great, we have become very friendly, and I often go to Perth will Mary, we enjoy the day and turn a business trip into a girls day out, having lunch and often dinner, as well as shopping. There is only 3 of us here in the park, most of the time, soon to be only 2, as after many issues with our neighbour, they have been given a move on notice!. [ Just doing my community service] Been very scared at times, but that’s another story, ha ha. OK ,time to add some photos from our sunday drives
These first few are taken around the little township of Green Hills. Most of these little towns have only the pubs still trading. One of our favourite is Watheroo Station.
The rail side of the station, is in a state of disrepair, but the front has been made into a lovely pub and diner, serving great meals. Another drive was to the Watheroo caves, a good view from on top of the rocks. No we didn’t climb down into the cave.
A bit of fun with the camera, and still some wildflowers around,
and a windmill near Dalwallinu We weren’t back in Kalanni long, and I experienced my first storm on the road. And was it a good one, birds went crazy, and I headed for the amenities block, decided it would be safer there, than getting blown around in the van.!
When it was over and I opened the door of the amenities, the water was up to the top of the step.
All good was with van. But the park was flooded. The view of the sunsets from the park, are quite spectacular most evenings. Time for a break and a cuppa, back soon with more of our time in the wheatbelt.
