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”

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”

It was obvious what trees we might see today on our walk, when Lisa and I set off to check out the Bridgetown Jarrah Park, and they get a bit more of a mention in this post that previous ones. This place has a series of loop walks that it is possible to link together,Continue reading “Bleedin’ trees”

It is the last weekend of the winter school holidays, which is both good and bad.  It meant another three day weekend for me but also signals that next week Lisa heads back to the classroom.  At least it won’t be another gruelling eleven week term for her like the last one.  Today we headedContinue reading “The safety net”

Friday the rain came down in torrents and it was all very uninviting, and they reckon Monday there will be a bigger front coming.  But the weekend promised two reasonable days between the big storms that have been bashing the south west of Western Australia.  So Lisa and I decided we would head out whileContinue reading “Passing the test”

The school holidays are upon us and I normally take a day off here and there while Lisa is on leave.  It looks like we will have a proper wintery school holiday this year, and this mornings’ walk on the beach was cold and blustery.  Not that there was much of the beach to walkContinue reading “True colours”

It was close to ten years to the date that the three of us first stayed at the Mount Trio Bush Camp in the Stirling Ranges.  On that first visit, in the school holidays, the place felt deserted and in subsequent years word of mouth did its job and the place got busier and busier. Continue reading “Ten years on”

I’ve been told off once or twice before when I have included an image of something that some people have been less than comfortable with seeing without prior notice.  So this is an upfront warning that there is a bug or two in this one, including one of our eight legged friends.  Yesterday I handedContinue reading “Creepy crawlies”

Over this last couple of weeks I have inundated you with posts, however both Lisa and I will be back at work next week.  That means there will be less time for adventures and of course less posts coming through.  Being the last weekend of our holidays we headed back to Wellington National Park, withContinue reading “Fire and water”

Today Lisa was feeling much better but we didn’t head up to the forests, instead the poodles got a well-deserved beach walk.  During term time they get walked practically every day, but this holiday their walks have been less frequent.  So they were hankering to get down for a run.  Walking down towards the beachContinue reading “Heading to shore”
