We stayed a night at an endurance ride at Cardiff near Collie in Western Australia. The whole area around Cardiff and Collie has been ‘undermined’ for many years for coal. Now farmers in the area are finding occasional collapses...

When we were first married, just about everything we had was second-hand or hand-me-downs. Even my maternity dresses were given to me by a friend. I think I made myself maybe one or two new ones.
We were given a cane pram like...

The top photo shows a horse-drawn baker’s van which is on display in the Collie Museum. Isn’t it a lovely shape? Because I lived on a farm, we never had anything delivered by such conveyances but I know that the horses learnt the...

The photo shows a pastie cutter which was in the Collie Museum.
The photograph doesn’t really show that the metal is concave. There are two identical pieces back to back. I gather you rolled it along big sheet of pastry and...

This exquisite dolls’ house was in the Collie Museum that we visited recently. Isn’t it lovely? The ‘doors’ that have been opened to reveal the inside have windows with lace curtains. Everything is so tiny.
I have a friend who...

I don’t know anyone with a small baby. Are these safety cots still in use? Our boys had one. The closed-in cot meant they couldn’t fall out of bed and the flywire kept the mosquitoes at bay.
I remember ours having teddies and...

Today’s photo from the Collie Museum is of a phonograph with two horns. The original phonograph was invented by Thomas Edison in 1877 and dual horn type began appearing in the late 1890s to early 1900s.
One of the reasons for...

Here is another of the items we saw in the Collie Museum.
It’s a home-made wheelchair; at least, I think it is but there is really nowhere for a person’s legs to go. It looks like it should be propelled by moving the ‘arms’ back...

The photo shows what’s described as a Power Wash ‘n Dry Clean Machine. It was another interesting item that we saw in the Collie Museum. Someone had used it when they were caravanning. It doesn’t say how old it is but I think...

Our last caravan trip took us through the town of Collie in south-west Western Australia (WA). Collie is 213 kms (132 miles) south and Perth and inland from the regional city and port of Bunbury. It’s the only coalfields in WA...

Edit: I've just realised this discussion is much the same as the l ast one but with a few more details. Feel free to skip it!
We have a new-to-us motor-home. We bought it in late November so were keen to go away...

I’m sorry I didn’t let my myLot friends know that I’d be missing for a few days. We took our new (to us) motor-home away for two nights to get used to it and to get any bugs ironed out, which means fix any small problems.
We...

On our way to Collie in Western Australia, we drove past this ‘home for aged trucks’. We’ve passed it lots of times and every time we’ve said ‘We must get a photo of that one day’. So now we’re done it. We pulled off to the side...

In an hour or two we’ll pack the last of the things we’ll need at the endurance ride we’re attending in Collie, Western Australia. Once we’ve added all the frozen and cold stuff, we’ll be on our way to pick up the caravan. On the...

This is probably the last of discussions about the Riding for the Disabled event held at Collie in Western Australia.
I thought you’d like to see the ‘rainbow pony’ as we called her (upper right and lower left), and her...

At the end of each day of the Riding for the Disabled event in Collie ,Western Australia, there was a fancy dress competition. Some of the riders and their helpers had gone to a lot of trouble with, in some cases, both riders and...

As myLotters seem to be enjoying the photos from our weekend at a Riding for the Disabled event in Collie, Western Australia, I thought I’d share some more. These four horses all did a sterling job on the weekend. The riders...

At the ride we attended at the weekend, they were offering soup and a sausage sizzle for those who wanted it. They had chicken and corn, pumpkin or pea and ham soup so over the two days, we tried out all three.
We’d forgotten...

There is always something happening in life it seems. We went away in our caravan last Thursday. Vince had forgotten there was a cable on the caravan that he needed to fix. However, it wasn’t too important so off we went. In the...

The Riding for the Disabled day at Collie started with a bush walk for some of the riders. They had to follow instructions. Turn off the road at the white marker, follow the track through the bush to the big tree, etc. The track...
