First day of the holidays

First day of the holidays, and we took a loooong walk in and around Freo, even visiting the original AWTA lab in Freo, which is now a furniture store.

Inside what was once AWTA Fremantle...

Boat storage done the WA way...

Outside a famous local Fish & Chips shop; a bit of a irony :-)

Eugene's favorite statue at Bathers Bay. This, and the next six images, are all in and around Bathers Bay, Freo.






Lunch. 4 Nuggets at Hungry Jacks.

One day when I grow up...

Have you ever looked at a modern traffic "light" close up? Interesting.

House Progress - Roof going up




Roadtrip - Seeing the Indian Ocean drive when it is not 40+ degrees



Ready, Steady, ....

Wedge Island beach shack settlement. These shacks are used by holiday goers and cray fishermen, and are on the beach directly across from Wedge. 

It was once a Kangaroo.

Spine, ribs and and some dead maggots. Dead maggots? I meant to say, more new flies. 

A typical road scene between Lancelin and Cervantes.

Just past the Nilgen Lookout, and you can see the rain in the distance. What a contrast to summer, when the heat can be stiffling.

Japanese tourists....the answer is, "Who knows", but no doubt there will be some peace-signs involved, haha!

Hotcakes and then the eating of a farm...

After last nights braai at the Bann-family, this morning we had a nice late start (9am), during which Karla and Jess made some hotcakes. Can you say "sugar high?"....


...then a little later we travelled to Greg and Briars place and ate two cows, a horse and various other small farm animals, hahaha! ....and yes then some Peppermint Crisp tart too.....bad spanners!



Meat from Mufasa's butcher in Joondalup.


Braai, Salmon and Peppermint Crisp tart...

Two weeks ago at Petie and Mariana's place....chilling around a fire (hard to beat).

Last weekend. Jarrah-smoked Salmon....now that is truly unbeatable. No steak or chop can touch it.

Salmon, fresh avo, prawns and brown bread. Mmmmm!

26th Sept; Eugene helping mum prepare some peppermint crisp chocolate for the tarts...

The spoils of helping out :-)
