Farmstays Metricup

This property is called Yelverton Brook Conservation Saunctuary and is approximately 20kms south of Busselton. Once in, and met up with our host Joy at the office, we are shown to our camp spot by following Joy and her partner on the quadbike. They have quite a few other campers here - as Joy explains that with the school holidays - people are ringing 'begging' for a spot to stay. We agree on our position offered and are happily 'left to it' to settle. This we do with awning and mat out. All windows open to catch any breeze. Unfortunately I left our caravan top hatches open (after getting changed into our bathers in Busselton) so we have a broken panel (only the front one - luckily) and it's still there so Roger's hopeful he can fix it somehow... Next we relax until tea outside in the shade of our awning. We have a snack of Taffy's fudge mmmm. Tea tonight, Roger cooks up some chicken that we make up into burgers with salad and bread rolls. Roger has his shower, then washes the dishes - I'm catching up on our budget books. Roger's now in bed, while I'm writing this. I'll put the dishes away next and head to bed too.
2/01/25 Thursday. My good friend Sharon's birthday. We get up around 6am, we have made plans to go for a drive to go for a walk then find a spot for us to cook up our breakfast. Roger has packed an eski and a cooler bag for our breakfast requirements so once we're organised off we go.
We return from our day tripping around 4.40pm. Very happy to just relax - we have some nibbles with our drinks, savoury this time - dip, cheese and baby pickled cucumbers with dry biscuits, while seated under our awning. Tea tonight is leftover chicken with chopped salad. Roger has some fruit and yoghurt, then has his shower. Roger does the dishes while I work on our budget books. I dry and put away the dishes later. Roger now asleep, I'm just writing up today's going's on before bed for me too.
3/01/25 Friday. I get up just after 6am and go for a walk to have a look about this property we're staying on. Nice spot. Get back and have my shower while my porridge cooking. Roger has packed stuff for our lunch today - says we just need to buy some fresh bread along the way. I get organised and we head off to go as far as Augusta today - checking out some surrounds on the way there and back. Leave by 8.30am and get back around 4.30pm. Relax until teatime. I ring Barb for a catch up, then we have sausage casserole (yum) followed by yoghurt and fruit for Rog, Bear Claw chocs (from Taffys) for us both. Robert returns our call, enjoy a catch up - and check on our mail. Roger has his shower, dishes get done. We work out how to use SBS on Demand with our TV. Roger watching a program - Samson and Delilah, while I'm writing this. I'll pay some bills when I finish this - then it'll be bedtime.
4/01/25 Saturday. Thinking of my Mum today RIP her birthday. I get up just after 6am and go for a run around the property here. Come back and have a shower then breakfast. Roger has us ready to go so once I'm organised we do. Leave before 9am. Czytaj więcej
