rogaine day before

its a rogaine weekend. were spending two nights staying nearby.

more holiday than rogaine :-)

we set off at a sensible time, near noon. its a short drive.

we have three means of navigation.

1 mobile phone. i expect there will be a signal.

2 hema. no need for a phone signal. but its getting old. like me it stops often. luckily we have 3...

we know where were going.

theres freeway out of the city. then SW highway, a favourite drive.its scenic, with lots of interesting little towns along the way.

we stop for lunch at stirling cottage, just before harvey.

its a cafe in a replica of captain stirlings cottage. surrounded by beautiful english style gardens. the flowers tell us that it is very nearly spring.

the harvey river flpws in a U shape round the gardens. we follow the riverside walk. there are signs aboutsettlement, noongar and may gibbs, who apparently slept there.

the highway is close and noisy. despite that, its a peaceful and pleasant walk.

lunch special is lasanga, salad and chips. we both have it, the is supposed to be our main meal for the day. were sitting outside, looking over the river and gardens.nbeautiful.

we stop here whenever we pass.

its a short drive to our accommodation, harvey hills farmstay.

my first impression is, this is definitely a farm.

sonia manages payment while richie knowa the rain forecast. we are in chalet 1. behind the house, next to the chooks and rabbits. the chalet is not new but clean, comfortable and cosy.

the vieq from our verandah is across green paddocks, down to water which i think is harvey dam. then more paddocks and a few small hills. all the big hills are nearer the rogaine site.

deb is just back from a walk. she took carrots, they come with the chalet, and looked for animals. she found sheep, horse and llamas. all so well fed that they ignored the carrots, which deb finally dropped in the gras. i suggested throwing at the animals.

there are two families in other chalets. with noisy kids. but no matter... not our kids :-)
