A supermoon at Baladjie, Western Australia

Judy Evans @JudyEv (363803) • Rockingham, Australia 10 Oct

We free-camped two nights at Baladjie Rock which is in the eastern wheatbelt of Western Australia. It’s not far from one small town but quite isolated from anywhere else. There was a supermoon last night. We climbed partway up the...

Caravan Parks in Australia - Part Two

Judy Evans @JudyEv (363803) • Rockingham, Australia 6 Oct

Carrying on from my last post about caravan parks, in many areas there are places where you can ‘free camp’. In some you need to be self-sufficient meaning you have to have your own toilet, water supply and waste water storage...

Caravan Parks in Australia - Part One

Judy Evans @JudyEv (363803) • Rockingham, Australia 6 Oct

I haven’t given much thought about whether some of our members really understand or know much about caravan parks so I’m going to tell you a little about some of the ones we’ve been to. I hope I don’t sound condescending....

The dry claypan that was Lake Perkolilli is now under water

Judy Evans @JudyEv (363803) • Rockingham, Australia 6 Oct

I posted yesterday about the Red Dust Revival where people race their ancient cars on a claypan. Luckily, the week-long event has just finished as they’ve had unseasonal heavy rains out there and the lake is now covered in 6...

Which one is the 'real' barman?

Judy Evans @JudyEv (363803) • Rockingham, Australia 6 Oct

I won’t have internet over the next few days so I’m posting a couple of extra discussions. I’m sure I won’t fool any of you but when we went into the Nungarin Hotel after visiting the market stalls, we were taken by the barman...

Red Dust Revival on Lake Perkolilli

Judy Evans @JudyEv (363803) • Rockingham, Australia 6 Oct

While we were in Beacon, we saw this vintage car on a trailer and stopped to talk to the owner. The car was a 1928 Falcon Knight and he was going out to Lake Perkoliili (isn’t that just the best Australian name?) to race it...

The galah said hello; her owner nodded

Judy Evans @JudyEv (363803) • Rockingham, Australia 6 Oct

While we were sheltering from the drizzle at the Nungarin Markets, a gentleman came along with a pink and grey galah on his shoulder. The galah said ‘hello’ and the man nodded. He said he’d had the galah for 23 of...

The little town of Nungarin in the wheatbelt of Western Australia held a street market today. It’s one of the three towns close to where a concert was held and each town has had additional events and entertainments hoping to cash...

Getting ready for bed in the olden days

Judy Evans @JudyEv (363803) • Rockingham, Australia 4 Oct

Time for another wax figure from the Westonia Museum in Western Australia. This lady is doing her hair prior to going to bed. Doesn’t she look real? The dressing table had a lovely set of candlesticks, trinket boxes, hair brush,...

We went foraging

Judy Evans @JudyEv (363803) • Rockingham, Australia 4 Oct

We have been travelling through the wheatbelt in Western Australia and we’ve been seeing a lot of quandong trees. I was surprised at the number we’re seeing but perhaps I’m only noticing them became they are all in fruit at the...

We went to a very noisy concert

Judy Evans @JudyEv (363803) • Rockingham, Australia 4 Oct

We’ve just got back from an outdoor concert at Mangowine Homestead in Western Australia. The group, Rising Sun, played a tribute to Jimmy Barnes and Cold Chisel. While they were well received, they were too loud for it to be...

A funny sign in Westonia, Western Australia

Judy Evans @JudyEv (363803) • Rockingham, Australia 3 Oct

I found a funny notice in the Westonia Museum and thought I’d share it with you. At one point in the museum, you could enter a dark room that looked like part of an underground mine. When you pressed a button, two miners started...

Shoes for shearers

Judy Evans @JudyEv (363803) • Rockingham, Australia 3 Oct

If you check the image back in my previous discussion, you will see the wax model of the shearer wearing ‘slippers’ similar to the ones in this photo. These are moccasin-type shoes made of soft leather. The wool from sheep...

A wax model of a shearer brings backs memories

Judy Evans @JudyEv (363803) • Rockingham, Australia 3 Oct

We spent ages in the Hood-Penn Museum in Westonia, Western Australia. The wax model of a shearer was very authentic. Look at the way the cigarette hangs from his lip. He is busy cleaning his handpiece which Beau, his border...

We’ve had two nights in Westonia in a very clean and neat caravan park which is almost full. It’s school holidays and tonight we can hear some children playing on the other side of the park. The town is spotless wherever you...

Apologies and probably checking out till we get better reception

Judy Evans @JudyEv (363803) • Rockingham, Australia 29 Sep

I’m sorry I posted the same thing twice. I’ve been battling to get online and it’s as slow as a wet week so after posting this, if I’m able, I’ll give up until we’re somewhere with better reception. I’ll spend my time responding...

Dressed to go shopping

Judy Evans @JudyEv (363803) • Rockingham, Australia 27 Sep

We saw this incredible sculpture/installation at Wongan Hills in Western Australia. It’s obviously a well-dressed lady and the sign on her jacket mentioned the CWA and the fact that the Wongan Hills organisation was first formed...

Keeping children safe

Judy Evans @JudyEv (363803) • Rockingham, Australia 26 Sep

I saw this sign at Lake Leschenaultia. This is a very popular holiday spot near Chidlow and dozens of families flock there around Chrismas and during school holidays which, for Western Australia, started today. Kids will all have...
