We just said goodbye to Dad & Mum when Dale's brother Jeff rang to say they were coming for a short visit. Last Friday Jeff, Jo & Trent arrived. On Saturday we took them into Esperance for lunch then took them along the Ocean Scenic Drive to see all the beautiful beaches & wind farm.




On Sunday we had a quick farm tour, come Monday we had to say goodbye to them, a short but nice visit for us all.

Farm Tours

Spraying weeds

Back at Cascade we had 2 weeks of relaxing, reminising and touring all the farms the Walters have. Dad was blown away with the size of the machinery, like we were when we first arrived, compared to what he uses over in Finley. In July we had 45 ml of rain so the crops are growing nicely but so are the weeds, so the Walters have been busy spraying them.

Some of the Canola crops

Our time together came to an end to soon. Dad & Mum travelled back to Perth by Coach and had 10 days there touring the Swan River, Rottnest Island and the Margaret River winerys before flying  home to Finley.

Dad & Mum's visit

Dad & Mum arriving in Perth

The first week of July Dad & Mum came over on the Indain-Pacific Train for a visit, we picked them up in Perth and took a week to get back to Cascade. From Perth we travelled east to Northam & York then south to Wagin, Katanning & Kojonup looking at lots of farming & sheep land, then southwest to Bridgetown were we started the many winery's we visited on our trip.

The Gloucester Tree

In Pemberton we did a scenic tour on an old Tram seeing many of the Karri & Marri trees in the area the most famous is the Gloucester Tree its 61 metres high, from there we drove to Walpole and went on the Tree Top Walk in the Valley of the Gaints. In Denmark we went to The Elephant Rocks, Greens Pool & Ducketts Mill it was the best winery of the trip it also sold cheese. Our last stop was in Albany at Whale World.
