The last week started out with a day of showers. We sat that day out in the van, on the edge of a not so spectacular lake, not far from Woodanilling .
The following day we stopped at the interesting town of Wickepin. The weather had cleared up, so we camped at the railway station site, an did walks from there.
The orchids have almost finished flowering now, however I did find a nice white spider still out.
These little towns do it so well, good walks and parks as well as free camps for us travellers.
A shed and paddock full of old tractors, for the guys, and a gnome village, plus a bit of everything, I thought was cute.
From there we drove on to Harrismith, for a cuppa in the park, then on to do a 5 klm drive walk through the bush. The flowers there were spectacular.
I ended up walking while Chris went for a bike ride, before waiting patiently for me at the end of the trail.
We thought we would end up at a lake out this track, but had to stop and go back, the track became very sandy, and we dont have a winch.
Back in at Bullaring we stopped for a pic of a paddock full of miniature pig face in full bloom. They started as a few plants in memory of a lady, now a paddock of beautiful colours.
That night we stopped at the old football site. We had a visit from farmer Steve, a nice chat and a warning about a big brown snake, he had seen there the day before. So given that and the millions of mosquitoes, only one pic here.
First stop the next morning was at the dog cemetery in Corrigin. So much bigger now than when we visited it in 2007. Some are really well looked after, and we noticed one with its owner’s ashes there as well.
The rest of the day was taken up with more bush walking
At the end of this track we were able to go up a lookout and see over where we had been.
Next was another small town, Narembeen. How good is this horse sculpture made from metal bits and pieces . Chris was amazed they had uses Sidchrome spanners.
Further along the road we pulled up to take a look at the shoe fence
And add a pair of Chris’s old joggers.
That afternoon we drove out to the Narimbeen ski club on the lake. A nice deserted area to wander around and watch the sun go down.
We left there early the next morning and did a nature walk before stopping in at Bruce Rock. It would have to be one of the nicest towns, in the Wheat Belt. They also manufacture big trailers there.
Grumpy old man!
The amphitheatre and park are well kept.
Camp for the next two days is on Banndee Lake, another ski club site.
A nice sunset with an even better sunrise this morning. So peaceful, have TV, Phone, and 25°
Had some entertainment for a few hours, thankfully they are only day trippers, and packing up now. Need a Caravan park stay next, as the washing is mounting up. Till then. 😊
