Mingenew WA and Mullewa WA area

A nice slow start to the day, it rained last night, so the camper trailers are still damp. Chris, Tom and I decided to go for a walk into town and check out the bakery. Oh so yummy! Sure lives up to its reputation of  being one of the best. We came away eating pies and sausage rolls, and bringing back vanilla slices for morning tea.  Made use of the drier in the park, to get yesterday’s washing dry, before vacating at 10am. Neil and Brenda were in the lead so a stop at the bakery was a must. This time we taste tested the apple turnovers. Did a drive around town and took a couple of fun pics in a park. The rest of the day was taken up  visiting small towns and wandering through bushland.We are now finding lots of different coloured flowers.

Also nice banksia bushes and the odd orchard. 

 Hard to pick which photos to upload here as i have taken so many. We ended up camping in the bush, no highway noise around here.!  

Indarra WA to Mingenew WA

Had managed to do some washing when we pulled up yesterday, one thing about bush camping there is no problem with line space, plenty of trees to string a line on. While the boys relax. Starting to cool down now as we are not far from Perth and not all that far from the coast. We packed up in misty rain, so much for our washing ! We headed out through Pindar, the best place to see the unique wreath flowers, which hopefully will be the highlight of the wildflower trip. They grow on the edges of a sandy road 10 kilometers out. Not fully out yet, but we may come back this way in a month or so, should be in full bloom then, but still worth seeing now.

Happy with our find we headed out again, exploring  some of the tracks a local had suggested to Kathy to do.

Acres of canola everywhere as well as more flowers.

Had some lunch at a nice spot called the glassiers More driving, more photos and so many towns, I can’t remember where we went  or in what order.

Had some fun with the camera at an old school site, where there is still a rock path across the salt plains, that the children used to get to the school.

Finally we booked into a caravan park at Mingenew.
