Really getting into this lifestyle. Taking the time to look at things around the small towns, 

 Most towns have beautiful, well preserved buildings from the 1800s. And most are open to the public and free to visit. Monsignor Hawes was a architect and constructed a lot of the magnificent buildings. 

                                                                                                                                                     Time to head out of Mullewa and find somewhere to camp. Tom seen a nice clearing over the railway line at Indarra.  So we set up in a clearing amongst a paddock of flowers. Yes, right beside the track, opposite the station, the train doesn’t stop there anymore, but the drivers tooted at us every time they went passed. Think they liked the look of us all sitting around the fire. So it became quite a ritual every hour, yep hourly, but strange enough they didn’t wake me during the night. It was about 6 the next day when we woke, there had been a light shower of rain sometime during the night, so I just had to go for a walk among the flowers, not ready to open up to the day yet. Morning walks for photos, trains rolling on down the track , breakfast by the fire, life’s good. On the road again by 9.30, doing wildflower trails around the area. So many flowers now ,and the photos don’t really show how spectacular they are, and it is only early in the season yet.

I’m in photography heaven on this trip. The evenings are quite cool, but ok sitting around the fire. As for the days, sunny and still able to wear shorts and tee shirt. We are both really enjoying this trip, so much fun travelling with these friends.  We travelled from 9.30 to 3.30 and found we had done about 110 klm and were 50 klm back up the road to where we stayed last night. Oh well tomorrow’s another day.
