Moora again

Today feels like our last day on our tourist part of our holiday as tomorrow we arrive in Perth where we get back to rekindling old friendships. It's been over 6 years since we left and so much has changed in the city and the lives of the people we left behind.

A quiet start with light rain early then the town heated up to a humid and windy 25 degrees. A walk down the river track to town then a book read back at the van. After lunch a circuit around the outlying villages in the ute ended up well over 100km of travel. We must check the scale of our maps! Ended with a small walk in a local reserve which is set up just for tourists to be harassed by bushflies.

We tried the local pub for an evening meal. Very large helpings so a walk back to the caravan was welcome. The country pubs are always good to see the locals. A few farmers in jeans and airtex type attire shows we are in the country.

Bushfly facts:
They are suckers, not biters
They want your saliva, sweat etc, not blood.
They are officially not a pest as they don't spread diseases or adversely affect livestock. ( I beg to differ. They are a right nuisance!)
They are not repelled by insect repellent (much to my disappointment)
They are useful as they can pollinate plants. Wow... I found something positive about them.Read more
