There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage.

August 5, 2016 started like any other day, I got in the shower first, just like any other caravanning day and completely forgetting it was another wedding anniversary for us. The sole reason for acknowledging any date while on the road, is simply to ensure the next site is correctly booked.(like I cannot even recall the car rego number which is part of the mandatory grilling when you arrive at a new caravan park.)
Silver anniversary, 30, 40 or even golden—they all have meaning. Even the 1st is celebrated with tea towels, while the 5th demands tingoods. But the 49th? Here’s what Google says about this milestone.
“Congratulations on your 49th wedding anniversary. … Surprisingly there are no traditional themes attached to the 49th anniversary, but the modern day alternative suggests luxury goods”.
Well, believe you me, today I had actually organised a day filled with luxury goods.

Mullewa.

100 kilometres east of Geraldton—-where a narrow gauge railway from the mid-west port was built—and the town was gazetted in the same year, 1894.
Where better to spend your anniversary?
The Geraldton tourist bureau had given us an overall booklet on the the wildflower season along with a quick updated report dated August 4. Luxury goods with which to celebrate an anniversary.
Just outside Mullewa in the tiny townsite of Pindar is the home of wreath flowers. Not really into anything remotely related to wreath-like flowers, especially approaching the mid-70’s, but definitely prepared to check them out.
And Mullewa? There is a south and a north gravel road trail with zillions of native flora, collectively providing a halcyon day out with which to celebrate 49 years together.
Enjoy!
