We had a big day ahead of us, so we were up in good time, but the Colwells were already gone when we surfaced. They really had a good early start!! We were a bit reluctant to be leaving Tozer’s, so I guess we did linger a little before we headed off. We headed outContinue reading “30/8/2021 – Leaving Tozers – and a long drive to Peak Charles.”

29/8/21 – Orchids and other beauties of the bush at Tozer’s Bush Camp
The first orchid flower was found right near our camper (a spider) and the next also very close (a leek orchid) . These both happened before we even headed out on our orchid tour. The tour started at a very reasonable 9:45am as they wait for the sun to be out and the orchids toContinue reading “29/8/21 – Orchids and other beauties of the bush at Tozer’s Bush Camp”
28/8/21 – Castle Rock, and finally we arrive at Tozer’s Bush Camp
We enjoyed our breakfast in the camp kitchen at the Porongurup Caravan Park before heading off again . The weather was looking OK for the moment, so we took our chances and headed off to walk the track to Castle Rock. The track was delightful. Just enough climb to know that we were alive withoutContinue reading “28/8/21 – Castle Rock, and finally we arrive at Tozer’s Bush Camp”
27/8/21 – Heading for the Stirling Ranges
This was pretty much a rainy and cold day from start to finish. We decided to just have our rain jackets ready and see how we went. When I started planning for this big trip the Stirling Ranges was a place that I already had in my head as somewhere I really wanted to getContinue reading “27/8/21 – Heading for the Stirling Ranges”
26/8/21 – Farm, friends and relatives
We enjoyed a wonderful hot shower and cooked breakfast(Thankyou Meri!!) before heading out with Codge to have a look at his place.

25/8/21 Rellies and Friends with a sprinkle of art.
After leaving Perth, we headed out to the South along the very efficient freeway with the train line in the centre. We stopped for lunch at the Miami Bakehouse at Myalup where , along with a very delicious pie each (with fancy name on them to avoid confusion) we found lots of painted kangaroos inContinue reading “25/8/21 Rellies and Friends with a sprinkle of art.”
21/8/21 – 25/8/21 Perth friends and family
I’m rolling these few days into one blog post as there wasn’t much touring done – it was mostly just being with special people that we care about and don’t see often enough. We enjoyed our hot showers at Dandaragan in their amazing ablutions block and heated croissants on the public bbq in pioneer parkContinue reading “21/8/21 – 25/8/21 Perth friends and family”
20/8/21 Bush Flowers , Beach and the Pinnacles
What a busy day!!! No wonder we were tired at the end of our days while we were on the road. We started our day with the promised tour with Don of his Hi-Vallee Farm. He sure knows his plants and he was keen to share his knowledge with us. I won’t show off myContinue reading “20/8/21 Bush Flowers , Beach and the Pinnacles”
19/8/21 – More and more wildflowers
We had a big day ahead of us and headed for Mullawa again, where Al and Zita had stayed the night and were holding our frozen meals for us to pick up. After a pleasant visit with them we were on our way again. We headed down the road towards Morawa (the red route) ,Continue reading “19/8/21 – More and more wildflowers”
18/8/21 – Wildflower Wonder near Mullewa
We had a good stroll around the local Ellendale Pool area- finding a splendid Blue Wren family and also lots and lots of cowslip orchids. After a leisurely start to the day with the Colwells, we stashed our still-damp towels and clothes again and left Craig and Evelyn with their van in our quiet littelContinue reading “18/8/21 – Wildflower Wonder near Mullewa”
