      Canna Dam

      September 3, 2023 in Australia ⋅ 🌬 12 °C

      We free camped last night at Canna Dam. Another of the old dams around the area that provided water to the trains in the days of steam. Still a rail siding here to pick up grain from the local wheat and canola farms.

      There is a orchid trail here...No luck again. We spent ages this morning combing the area. Lots of tiny pom poms springing up after the little bit of rain over the last couple of days.

      Mingenew

      September 3, 2023 in Australia ⋅ 🌬 12 °C

      We called into Mingenew this morning after leaving Coalseam. What a pretty little town. We were hoping to spot some orchids. As there was a sighting near the recreational center. No luck. They had probably been picked by someone wanting to press them. So annoying. Apparently it's a bit of a problem with some of the more unusual flowers.

      They have the best book exchange on town. Set in a wonderful old bank. Had a lovely chat to the lady on duty about quilting and crochet while Graham swapped some books. Also the place to go for flower info.

      The bakery was also fantastic. Loved the sign above there dog water bowl. An added plus was an excellent Arts & Craft show running in town. Picked up some yummy jams and relishes.

      After some very hot days at Coalseam the weather has turn a bit cool and some light rain.

      No idea what the orange flowers are. Were growing in a garden in the main street.

      PS. Finished crocheting a Cocoon Shrug last night. Just in time for some cooler days. Hoping to get a matching beanie out of the left over yarn.
