The weather makers

Despite the sunny image below, it had unexpectedly been drizzling and raining till mid-morning today. Whether by desire or chance Josh wasn’t able to head out till ten, which worked out well all things considered. Even at that late hour of the morning, and as we drove towards the crag the windscreen wipers were swishingContinue reading “The weather makers”

Let the hammer fall

I was trying to tell myself not to send another post of my orchid hunting this weekend, but as you can tell I didn’t listen to myself. Today I went to two spots, the first being a small patch of bush called the Katherine Chauhan Reserve. No more than 10 acres (4 hectares), surrounded byContinue reading “Let the hammer fall”

Keep moving

This post is short and sweet, a bit like my quick scoot round a community managed reserve found just off the highway on the way to Bunbury. The reason for the dash to this spot, which I had previously never been too, will be revealed later. But what drew my attention was again receiving imagesContinue reading “Keep moving”

D Mob

In their wisdom Australia decided the day to pay respects for the passing of the Queen was Thursday this week. It does seem an odd day seeing her funeral was on Monday and the school term, at least in Western Australia, ends on Friday. But Thursday was chosen to suit just one state, Victoria. ThatContinue reading “D Mob”

The multi-coloured picture show

This week it didn’t look like I was going to get out for a single weekday wander, a stark contrast from the week before. In part I had not received any images from ‘work’ Josh, as oppose to ‘climbing’ Josh, to get me all enthused; also the weather was a bit hit and miss; andContinue reading “The multi-coloured picture show”

Beginners luck

The rain fell as we walked down towards the main cliffs of Wilyabrup, not that it has ever put me off heading out for a climb before. However, today I was joined by a work colleague, Sam, who had never climbed before, neither indoors or outdoors. So it didn’t feel like it was the bestContinue reading “Beginners luck”

Kicking back

There was a chance that I would have been flying solo this weekend. That was until late in the week, when both Mario and Rongy’s partners made plans that didn’t include them leaving them free to play. Rongy decided on the Northern Blocks of Wilyabrup, which I was more than happy with. Partly because weContinue reading “Kicking back”

Here, there, and everywhere

I feel like I’ve been wandering about a fair bit weeks… and in part blame Josh for it. Not the Josh I climb with, but someone from work. Unlike me his job takes him out in the field a fair bit, to secluded spots where we have stream flow and groundwater level measurement infrastructure. ForContinue reading “Here, there, and everywhere”

In need of a recharge

It seems that there is always something on to stop us from dragging the camper trailer out of the shed. Which is where it has been stashed since April this year, but this weekend the stars aligned and we finally got away. The last time, despite it being glorious weather at home, we drove straightContinue reading “In need of a recharge”

A picture paints a thousand words

I’ve stumbled across a new local spot to hunt orchids, and it is the closest one to where we live yet. In fact it is an even shorter distance from where we lived for seven years, and we never checked it out. That might be because it isn’t publicised, has no parking areas, and thereContinue reading “A picture paints a thousand words”
