One of many red berry bushes we saw while driving through the Stirling ranges
The mountains were shrouded in mist but this made them look more mysterious
We were suprised and pleased to see so many wildflowers at this time of the year
This railway station was bought from Gnowangerup after being pulled apart piece by pieced then reconstructed. We called in here after the drive through the Stirling Ranges
The Lily is an authentic Dutch Windmill constructed by Hennie and Pleun Hitzert. It turned her sails for the first time in 1997 after 10 years of building. It is a working mill producing Spelt flour which makes superb bread. We lunched in the Railway House.
This looks unreal, a tree growing in the middle of a rock, it was in the Porungurup ranges near Mt.Barker
A field of beautiful flowers amongst the starkness of the dead wood
A huge tree shedding its bark, Tony picked up a piece and it was about 10ml thick. In the same forest as above
This is an immense yard of logs waiting to be pulped into wood chip for export. At Albany.
The view from Mt.Clarence
Albany is full of gorgeous old homes, so many of them crying out to be renovated.
Isnt this just beautiful, saw a field of them while driving through the Torndirrup national Park south of Albany.
This is Salmon Holes, same park, named so for the Salmon that used to come here looking for calm waters close to the beach
Banksias were plentiful in this park also, so many different shapes and sizes but yellow the predominant colour
This is me the new beacon, standing where there used to be one perched high upon the rock
Another unusual banksia
Dont push! Amazing that these rocks have been like this for billions of years
The view from Stony Hill through to the Bay
I walked down these steps over 900 metres to the bottom to see the blow holes that werent blowing, we were very disappointed, my first big walk after my operation
This is called the Arch and looks very like London Bridge on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria. It was very windy and you have to be very careful
We couldnt believe the houses that were built around and on top of the huge granite rocks, this one was unbelievable
How is this for a garden feature??????
The view from the top of the steepest street we have seen. Carla it makes Daventry Street look flat!!!!
