New Year In Julimar

We literally crawled up and over the hills to Julimar , we couldn’t do anything now until the workshops opened on the 6th Jan after the holiday period, so we sat back and enjoyed our stay at the cabin in Julimar.

On the 20th Dec 2023 The Bureau of Morons issued a fire weather warning covering large parts of WA, while people living in West Toodyay and Julimar where being urged to leave to survive.The cabin we are staying in was in the line of fire ,at one point the owner was told that the property couldn’t be saved but thankfuly the water bomber released its cargo over the rustic retreat saving it from bunning down. Just over a year on the owners have newly fenced the property and the fields have regenerated to a golden carpet as far as the eye could see. Remains of the fire could still be seen around the base of the trees surrounding the side of the house.

I spent most of the time resting after 5 months on the road , catching up on films, watching both seasons of the South Korean dystopian survival thriller horror television series Squid Games.
Billy enjoyed the fenced property playing catch with the frizby while I caught up on cooking homemade sauces and pizza bases.
