FLORA, FAUNA AND OTHER STUFF

FLOWERS

We normally arrive later in the summer and miss most of the gorgeous spring flowers (Niki sends us great photos Kings Park, Perth). But we have managed to see a few remnants on our 4 coastal walks this week - getting these in whilst the temperatures are a reasonable low 20's - normally we are wilting after half an hour in the sun in January/February.

Local lake in Subiaco a short walk from Niki's that is normally dried up when we are here

 FIRST FEW WILDLIFE VIEWS 

The main ones, of course, were the whales, but we also saw this ray whilst waiting for the cruise to start and the goanna whilst having our morning drinks stop mid walk - no snakes this year, thank goodness, as most of them are deadly in this area.

OTHER STUFF

A bit of coincidence - the bed on the left was ours in the Airbnb in Pembrokeshire in September - we knew it was pretty similar to our bed in Dunsborough - so had to be saddos and take piccies to compare!

and on to our favourite theme of food - always a photo opportunity somewhere on a daily basis - first up is Graham building the new BBQ that we have bought for Niki's house - followed by its first use on the balcony.  Set to be a regular item in our daily lives.

 Followed by 2 regular stops in Dunsborough life

Simmos - two of sixty choices - only 58 to go! And these are the single scoops.

Takeaway curries by the sea - Tues, Thurs and Sat evenings
What's not to like!

And a reminder of why we love this area so much - apart from the curries and ice cream - coastal walks and views.
