Perth to Wongan Hills via Toodyay

It was almost 10.30am before we drove out our driveway. We had to harvest all the lettuces and some chard, and wash them all for the trip. Of course that included some last minute quick vege gardening, Pit stop at Bakers Hill Pie Shop before Toodyay. Pies were outstanding. Chunky pieces of juicy steak and gravy encased in light crispy flaky pastry. The town of Toodyay was very quiet. Most shops and cafes were shut. Lady at the Visitors Centre directed us to Wongamine Reserve enroute to Wongan Hills. We spotted our first orchids of the season; jug, cowslip, china blue, donkey and one china white (looks like china blue but white, and I it looked too fresh to be an old colorless china blue). Camping tonight at The Gap , next to Mt O'Brien, Wongan Hills. There was a group of 3 camper trailers when we arrived, but they are very quiet. A lovely clear night for start gazing, except for the lights from our fellow campers.もっと詳しく
