balingup to collie

This is gorgeous sharron from the visitors centre down at ballingup when we came in in the afternoon and it was a hot one to sign the bib track book she offered and took us swimming out at the natural greenbushes pool what a great treat and so nice and welcoming for a country town. PS the pub meal is great in ballingup and dwayne the bartender makes you feel very welcome!

first campsite on the way to collie and not only is it grim by name but also by nature took us 8 hours to get there...aaah we got lost x 3 times from balingup as there was a lack of markers (waugals) and we were knackered when we got in

colm relaxing on the wooden table while our clothes dry

First campsite we have shared since gardner the one south of northcliffe on the way here I saw my first feral pig and no it wasn't colm it was a black and white one and ran really fast past me

These are the pair who we shared with martin with the striped shirt and Robert

would you look at those legs......

Not sure if you can see the black cockatoos with the red tail but there was 2 male and 2 female and they were just happy swalking to each other and then flew away but it was so good to see

Long walk into collie a spur trail of almost 3 klms please! Also this will be the last photo with the pink top and black shorts they have run out as they are both holey and slightly too big for me.....yeah

Soon there will be nothing left of the man need to feed him up when we get into town and guess the first place we hit is mcdonalds....but saw the meal down the pub tonight is going to be shepherds pie.....with veges yum! and just one pint of course as we are walking 23klm tomorrow and to beat the heat we wake at 4am...

Maybe you can see the cockatoos in this one better? Hey here is something to contemplate if the ruler of a kingdom is a king and the ruler of an empire is an emperor then what is the ruler of a country called?
