Fri, 7th Oct, 2016 Rest area by Brockman River, near Bindoon to Ross & Lara’s yard, Wattle Grove, Perth, WA



Overcast, 20 degrees at 7am. Sent off texts to Rick and Libby for their birthdays today.

Continued down Chittering Road following the river upstream then over the hill through lots of grazing land and acreage blocks. Back onto the highway past the big RAAF Base at Bulllsbrook. Sky clearing though still heavy clouds to the west.

Over the Swan River. Through Swan Valley – lots of horses and wineries.

Found Ross & Lara’s place at Wattle Grove. It is so great to know we can leave the van and truck here – really appreciate their help. Their son, Noel, was there so we sorted out with him where to park in the old dressage paddock. They have sheep here to mow the grass – they need more as the grass has grown a lot with all the rain Perth has been having. Warmer today which is nice.


Got TV reception and settled down to watch the V8s roar at Bathurst for qualifying. Leanne & Rick rang with an update of what’s been happening over there. They are on the same gate we were on last year and a wheel came flying over the fence and landed near where I would have been standing!!

Got out the big bag and started packing then weighing then reshuffling!!

Clouded over in the arvo and it cooled off – rain forecasted for tomorrow.
