Despite being the last day of a long weekend, we risked a walk at Cape Naturaliste. Located at the northerly end of the Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park this is where the Cape to Cape track, mentioned in my last post, starts or ends depending on whether you hike south to north or north to south. WhyContinue reading “The beetles”

The South African pest
Lisa and I headed out for a local wander today. The forecast was a tad iffy so we didn’t fancy going too far afield only to be rained on, as happened last weekend. But we needn’t have worried and the precipitation never came and it even started to feel a bit too warm when theContinue reading “The South African pest”
Playing catch
Another not so early start, and that can only mean I was climbing with Dan today. The sun was well and truly up as I drove to Capel to meet him. But to be fair, for me it is a short ten minute drive, while for Dan it is close to three quarters of anContinue reading “Playing catch”
The Muppets
It was a week of possibilities as Sunday approached, and it could have ended up with six of us heading out for a climb. A number that we have not managed for a long time, but as the day got closer, and even a mere hour before my departure from home, a few people droppedContinue reading “The Muppets”
Nil point
Today we had an early start with every intention of enjoying an eighteen kilometre track in the forests near Dwellingup, the aim was for us to start the walk at 8am. The forecast wasn’t great, but Lisa was prepared to risk it on the proviso that I didn’t stop too many times to take imagesContinue reading “Nil point”
The flapper
I’ll start with the reason for the title of this post, which is related to an incident during Alan and my indoor boulder session last Wednesday. On the last sequence of the night, and feeling a little tired, I snatched for a small hold. I didn’t catch the hold and my fingers slid over itsContinue reading “The flapper”
Itsy bitsy spider
Last weekend Howsie and his family had enjoyed a great few days out at Narrogin, exploring the local reserves and he sent me an image of a cluster of amazing looking orchids. Upon asking him if he left it was worth the drive out there for a day trip, he hesitated. Quite rightly to, asContinue reading “Itsy bitsy spider”
The scatterbrain
Dan is back in town. He somehow managed to escape the clutches of a lockdown life in Melbourne to join us in Western Australia and the freedom we have been enjoying here. With no work opportunities back home he made the decision to find work over here, which he did and after fourteen days ofContinue reading “The scatterbrain”
Fairy lights
Lisa and I, encouraged by a lovely but short walk last weekend, headed out today for a longer hike inland. Neither of us had been to Greenbushes before, and I have only ever know it as a lithium mine with a town site tacked on. That’s a bit harsh as Greenbushes has been round sinceContinue reading “Fairy lights”
Quietly hopeful
Lisa and I haven’t been out for a walks of late, and with each passing weekend there has been one reason or another as to why we didn’t get out. But with each passing week it seems to be harder and harder to get motivated, and get back into the swing of heading out forContinue reading “Quietly hopeful”
