Greetings from Westonia, Western Australia

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 look. I don’t think the trees are brave enough to shed any leaves. The caravan park is very well appointed and every local person that we’ve spoken to loves living in the town. The population is about 100 and there is no police station and no need for one. I may be able to post too often as we’re not sure if we’re heading home or going further afield. The photo is from the Westonia Museum which is very impressive. The barman is not real. I hope I haven’t missed too many notifications. I’m off to try to catch up with them now.

Those wax characters are so well done, a lot better than those I have seen in a famous Was museum.

They were all very authentic. I must try to find out where they had them made.

@JudyEv It's hard to keep up here. It takes me 2-1/2 to 3 hours each day.

The museum was very interesting. They've done a great job and there are only about 100 people in the town.

Wow, who makes those wax people? They re amazing. What makes Westonia a town? We live in a village with about 4,000 people. Or does Australia not do villages?

No, we don't do villages - just big towns and small towns! lol We do have retirement villages like the one we live in.

Having no police station in any town is never heard of That shows how safe that place is

I think the town is only about 30 minutes from a bigger one which would have a police station.

I guess it makes a nice break from house sitting. Westonia does sound rather idyllic!

I could easily live there but it's a pretty long way from any major medical facilities. We've missed our chance at a few things but have much to be grateful about. We haven't wasted ALL our time over the years.

@JudyEv Yes, I can't imagine living far from museums and theatres!
