Pay dirt at last!
We came for the sun up north and then the wildflower season on the way home and today we genuinely hit paydirt. We are staying in a beachside chalet at Port Denison with the caravan parked up on the back of the block. Dorothy O’Connor joined us yesterday, coming up by bus from Perth.
While Mullewa was brilliant last week, today we ventured 50 km east of Dongara to the town of Mingenew and on to the old coal workings which today is a national park displaying zillions of native flora.
Kilometre upon kilometre of country roads are clothed yellow, pink and white flowers that stretch off into the distant hills on either side.
While Mullewa presents visitors with enforced bulimia, so today we packed fresh bread rolls as a picnic only to find Mingenew is the land of plenty with a genuine country bakery serving starving seniors with an array of breads, rolls, sandwiches, pies, cakes and fresh donuts to go with proper coffee.
