Update For Craig. :-)

This update is in response to a friend of ours saying "Wheres the updates!!" :-) So here it is, bout time really. Been a bit lazy lately.

With the Grain season finishing in early December Trace and I packed up and left our little camp at Arrino grain receival site. We had a good time working there and have learnt that young lady backpackers from Scotland are lazy and the 17 year old boys from the rural communities are just as lazy. Putting aside the laziness we had a good time working there and picked up a bit of knowledge of the grain growing business.

That header is 60 feet wide, the widest you can get at the moment. It's a Case Header.

Unloading into chaser bins.

This is where it all ends up. In the bulk heads at site.

We traveled down the wheat belt of WA and took a right to Bunbury avoiding Perth. There were some lovely country towns down that run, one of which was New Norcia. New Norcia an old Benedictine Monks township where they educated nuns and priests. The buildings on this site were beautiful.

 The Priests chapel.

Boarding house for the boys.

From Bunbury we followed the coast down through Margaret River then on to Albany. We did the obligatory wine tour in Margaret river and had a great time, the wines there are delicious. The whole of the south west is quite nice, much nicer than the rest of the west coast in our opinion. 

We continued on to Albany visiting the Valley of The Giants and the tree top walks there. Great experience here as the trees are quite large and the walkway sets you 40m above the ground for a fantastic view.


Onto the Nullarbor!!!
