Monday 29th September 2008, Toodyay.
Went for a drive today to Avon Valley National Park for a look. The NP didn’t have a lot to offer, but there was one reasonable lookout of the Avon valley, or a short section of it, and there were some wild flowers, but I am now getting to the point […]
Saturday 27th September 2008, Toodyay.
I am a little put off with the weather of late in this area, with the rain we have had recently, and the forecast being for more over the next week. It looks reasonably fine at the moment but one doesn’t want to go anywhere because of the possibility of rain. […]

The same old thing with caravan parks has happened to me once again: I went to the office today to pay for another week, as I have decided to stay here until Linda returns from Melbourne, mainly due to the cheap rates they quoted me. Oh, they said, our peak period […]
Tuesday 23rd September 2008, Toodyay.
Sometimes I amaze myself with walking around town taking photos: I did my usual today around Toodyay and what I thought was just an average shoot in a small town turned out to be 150 shots, maybe the old buildings were more interesting than I thought. There are some quite old […]
Saturday 20th September 2008, Toodyay.
I had a general look around the area today, and as far as Northam. Northam is only about 25K from here and is a much larger town, so this is where I would intend doing most of my shopping while here. I also checked out the caravan park while in there […]
Friday 19th September 2008, Toodyay.
I have now moved on to that small town called Toodyay, about 80K east of Perth (see map). I am now wondering how long I will be here as now that the sun has gone down it is a little colder than recent times, so we will have to see if […]
Thursday 18th September 2008, Mandurah.
I have for the past couple of days been preparing for a move tomorrow. The weather forecast for this week has not been very good so I took the opportunity on Tuesday to pack up the annexe and put up our small roof so I could have at least a little […]
Sunday 14th September 2008, Mandurah.
Today saw myself with Adrian and Les on a trip to Yarloop, about 50K south, to a Steam engine workshop museum. This workshop has a lot of history with the engineering workshop and was mainly driven by steam power. They have some truly remarkable old machinery on display with quite a […]
Friday 12th September 2008, Mandurah.
Linda has gone back to Melbourne, so I am once again on my own for a few weeks. I do have company with Les and Jan being in the same park as I am, and Kay and Adrian in a park just down the road, but this will only be until […]
Sunday 7th September 2008, Mandurah.
We have again changed our plans somewhat after hearing of Adrian’s good news of health. We have now moved to Mandurah (see map) where they have been for the past several months getting treatment, so Linda could see them once more. Linda is going back to Melbourne again on Wednesday to […]
